Really low bar of 220ypg in year 2
So on that list its (11):
Mayfield
Lawrence
Goff
Carr
Herbert
Darnold
Stafford (2nd healthy year, far over in rookie year)
Burrow
Purdy
Mahomes
Stroud (so far in 2024)
not on 2024 of 220ypg+ list but 31 or under and did in year 2 (5
Murray
Winston
Watson
Lock
Mariota
so what 16?
That list has some duds there too. Also, it's passing some old dudes (Dalton, Flacco). It passes late start guys: Love, Rogers (old), Cousins (old). It passes Prescott (many over 220) and Wilson (many over 220) who were over 200 but not 220. also Jackson, an MVP that Young wont sniff as a runner to augment the rushing yards. J. Allen who jump came year 3, but had rushing yards in year 2 that Young wont.
the list of more than 180 ypg in year #1 while starting 10+ games is larger
young had 5 of 16 games with over 200..... less than 1/3 were 200+ yards........ its a problem.
glad he had a game where he didnt totally fug up. but we are still needing a lot more the 2nd half of the year.
