What’s the point of counting targets if half of the passes aren’t even remotely in the area of being catchable?

Found this online earlier. Honestly, how many of these passes would you say should have been caught? https://streamable.com/lhyl3l?src=player-page-share

I mean yes it’s obvious we over drafted the guy but people are acting like he is the worst WR in the history of the NFL. For reference I saw this online and I don’t think Bryce threw him but maybe 1 catchable ball beyond the line of scrimmage. https://streamable.com/lhyl3l

We already have the better version of him on the practice squad.

I agree to an extent. Hell, it was one of the most frustrating things of the Rivera Era. We all saw what happened in the divisional round against Seattle and Rivera at least didn’t replicated it in the conference final against the Cardinals. We never let off the gas that game. Today the Cardinals defense was extra soft and for much longer than I would have expected to see. I think a big reason was because of how many injuries they suffered in their secondary.

I am looking at it objectively. Its was already 27-3 by the time the Panthers touched the ball in the second half. Bryce didn’t “settle down”. The entire Cardinals team did allowing Bryce to chip away at a basic prevent defense. Teams rarely even play that soft in the preseason.

You used the reason of the two of them being out on the final drive why Bryce struggled. My point was they both were in for the entire first half and Bryce still looked like poo.

They both left the game in the 4th quarter

Basically the best trait a QB can have is making the players around him better. Everyone is going to have a bad game from time to time. Football is a team sport but the QB position is the most important on the field. If your QB can’t perform what is asked of him and also elevate the guys around him you are going to lose more games than you win. If you have a QB that can do that and also surround him with elite talent then you are more than likely a Suberbowl contender.

You mean the same ones that were in there for the first 3 quarters?

Andy Reid or Sean McVay could be our coach and they’re not winning poo with Bryce under center.

It is not trying to explain away. Bryce only played well when the game was out of reach. As soon as there was a chance the Cards could lose the game they put their foot back on the gas and smothered Bryce and that was with multiple defenders out because of injury. Just go compare his stats from the first half and our last drive of the game vs the first 28min of the second half.

I’m going to withhold judgment on the entire offense until I see another QB under center.

What is he supposed to do when his QB literally can’t play the position against an NFL defense that isn’t playing prevent every down.

I’m so glad we recovered that onside kick and Bryce didn’t get the chance to hide behind his garbage time stats against a Cardinals defense that packed it in at halftime. That was a defining moment for Bryce and as soon as the Cards had to actually play defense again he folded like a lawn chair.
