Because it's an even year. 😎

  • 2018: 27 TDs, 14 INTs
  • 2019: 22 TDs, 21 INTs
  • 2020: 26 TDs, 8 INTs
  • 2021: 17 TDs, 13 INTs

By this trend, 2022 should statistically be his best year yet in terms of TD-INT ratio. I'll drink the kool-aid.

Yea...except for that part that he has thrown 73 TDs to 25 ints over the past 2 seasons....

thats kind of the point, it ignores the positive production where someone like Mayfield also has 43 TDs to 21 INT's over the past 2 seasons, and one of which was mired by injury.

Because we aren't Cleveland and didn't go 0-16 last year like they did coming into his rookie year. And Baker now has 4 years of starting experience and has playoff win experience instead of just coming out of college totally green. And even then Cleveland improved by 7 games in a tough division.  So how will what he did there be related to now given the schemes and teams are totally different? I dont think it will if we do use a West Coast offense and let the players excel after the catch. Anyone who knows football will see the disingenuousness of connecting the two. But I want to see the stats for wins and losses at the end of the year which are the only stats that matter. I think 7-9 are reasonable if CMC doesnt miss a lot of time.

And, as somebody asked before about Winston, didn't he miss a lot of games?  The answer, yes.  The raw number ignores that.

Since 2018:

  • Winston, played 38 games, started 32, 1,176 attempts, 4% int rate, 66 TDs (5.6% rate)
  • Darnold, played 50 games, started 49, 1625 attempts, 3.2% int rate, 54 TDs (3.3%)
  • Mayfield, played 60 games, started 59, 1924 attempts, 2.9% int, 92 TDs (4.8%)
  • Allen, played 61 games, started 60, 1999 attempts, 2.3% int rate, 103 TDs (5.2%)
  • Goff, played 61 games, started 61, 2233 attempts, 2.2% int rate, 93 TDs (4.2%)

The problem with numbers is people can hurt themselves with them.

Heck, PJ Walker has only thrown 8 picks in his 2 years, which is 1 less than Rodgers over that same period.  That is some pretty rare air........sorta.......if you turn your head 30-degrees when you look at their stats.

Mayfield was not on my choice, but I've come to terms with it.  We didn't break the bank or give away the farm with him, and for now it is a one-year commitment.  That said, let's not BS how good or bad he is.

Baker is going to throw 25+ TDs, but he will also throw between 13-15 ints 

yep, right on. to compete with that, Panthers will need a top defense on the field. Just like players in the past with similar stats/traits… a la Tannenhill, Favre to a greater extent etc.

The only stat that will count is wins.  Who cares if he has 15 ints and we win? The top 10 highest thrown interceptions list is littered with hall of famers. 
 

darnold threw ints but also never threw us back into a game. He was fine with a lead and protection.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
