https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#rating Look category by category. I'm just warning you, it's ugly. If you're trying to cling to hope don't click.

According to next gen stats his expected completion percentage based on throws made is 66%. His actual completion percentage is 65%. He's basically right on par with what is to be expected for a QB of average accuracy. Slightly below average of we're being nit picky.

Three factors concern me greatly. 1. Bryce's arm talent is significantly worse than I thought. Pre-draft I said his arm was NFL average at best. So far, his arm looks well below NFL average. There's just no velocity at all and he seems really hesitant to throw more than 10 yards beyond the LOS unless the receiver is completely wide open. 2. Bryce's escapability isn't translating. He's getting chased down from behind more often than not. 3. I can't sugarcoat how badly broken, defeated, and dejected he looked and sounded in that post game presser. His game doesn't excude confidence and that presser screamed an utter lack of confidence.

Delude yourself if you want. No, I haven't seen NFL level talent from Bryce thus far.

Why would anyone care? IMO it's almost a get out of jail free card to be given a legitimate out to hit fandom free agency without being a turncoat.

Surely this is it y'all. Having the fanbase openly wishing for the franchise to just be uprooted and moved is surely fandom rock bottom.

I believe in taking your shot when the chance presents itself. It just looks like we shot our shot on the wrong QB.

0-8 going into an absolute toilet bowl against an also putrid Bears team seems reasonably likely.

Yeah, we suck. Yeah, all the former positive threads have aged like milk. We know.

Where did I say that? Ian Thomas should've caught that ball. He didn't because he sucks.

It's more and more about getting the ball out fast but if you can't establish the threat of a vertical game and basically turn the entire field into a redzone scenario then it gets really hard. You're just not forcing the defense to account for the deep third of the field.

Dalton got constantly pressured too.

One threatened down field and threw downfield successfully. The other didn't even threaten. You don't have to chuck the ball downfield constantly but you do have to demonstrate a competent vertical threat. This is like day two of Offensive Football 101.

It's. Not. The. Same. Thing. Continuing to say this doesn't make it true.

Maybe it was 3/5 and the one I'm counting as the 6th on that chart was 19 yards and 35 inches. The point is that you have to THREATEN deep and we don't. If you don't make the D respect that you can burn them deep it's going to be really tough to move the football. DJ Chark is literally a deep ball specialist. The excuses really need to stop. This chart isn't showing what you think. It's quite the opposite. The threat of the deep ball opens up opportunities underneath. You don't have to chuck it 20+ a dozen times a game. But you do have to show the willingness to do it and show some effectiveness at doing it to make the D respect it.

Exactly. Six attempts 20+ yards versus zero. The threat is everything. Especially when the threat is highly effective going 4/6 on those attempts. The one ball Bryce threw over 20 yards that isn't reflected in the passing chart was a DPI on a badly underthrown ball to a receiver that was grabbed and slowed down. If a receiver is grabbed and slowed it should result in what appears to be an overthrow, definitely not a ball that is still badly underthrown.

Kill! Kill! Kill! *run up the middle into a wall of defenders* Kill! Kill! Kill! *WR screen* Kill! Kill! Kill! *look downfield, hesitate, appear to want to throw downfield, actually throw three yards checkdown* Over and over until the end of the game.

Miles sucks. He has no vision as a runner at all. Chuba is considerably better as a runner.

They really shouldn't be. The Bills are just on an absolute tear right now. Since laying an absolute egg in the season opener they've just been beating the hell out of everyone they've played.

I'd be fine with trading Burns. He's just too much of a one trick pony to pay him like he's a top tier edge defender and we desperately need to recoup some roster building capital after that trade.

I'm shocked that Ian Thomas still sucks and Hurst is still playing like a former 1st round disappointment of a journeyman. Paying players like they're a lot better than they are shockingly doesn't make them play better. That's the classic Hurney folly.

I just don't see the Niners winning the SB with Purdy. He's a solid game manager and they can make that work given their immense talent across the roster and a great offensive mind in Shanahan, but ultimately I think it will be the hurdle they can't overcome.

That's my bad. The site I was looking at hadn't updated to include yesterday's game. Through last week the numbers I stated were accurate.

I'm convinced at this point that anyone the Bears draft at QB is doomed. They seem destined to forever be bad at QB.

Everything has been a disaster every since Tepper took over. There's just no way to sugarcoat that. Blame Rhule if you want. Blame Fitterer if you want. Blame Reich if you want. Blame Bryce Young if you want. The common denominator behind all of it is David Tepper.
