I initially saw BM listed at 5'10 but he is listed as 6'1" the same a Brees and my hero Johnny U.  Who didn't seem to have as many batted balls. 

How the hell is he getting so many batted balls.  I can understand some pressure is causes them, but it seems he has more than his fair share.

Is it team recognize that BM doesn't get much height off his out passes.  

I hope our tape review team can give a bit more insight.

don't think height is issue; look at drew Brees and Russell Wilson

cam had a lot of throws batted down also

Yeah its more arm angle and release point than height.  Murray is a damn midget and he doesnt get many. Cam is 6'5" and he had the most in the league.

Panthers cannot overcome any loss of down plays with the current offensive juggernaut......

Word is out-jump in bakers throwing lanes.

OLmen need to punch the jumpers in the gut.

Baker needs to adapt some, maybe add a pump fake or two 

fuging call some plays that allow Baker to roll out in open space, one of his strengths....

Ok I've said this a million times.

 

It's the Olines job to get their hands down.

When the defender jumps you punch towards his balls. They will instinctively bring their hands down in a flinch.

Or they jump and you cut them (unless this is now illegal but it shouldn't be in the free blocking zone) that brings their hands down as well.

Still, on a per-pass level, Mayfield's 2.46 percent passes batted down mark is the second-highest rate in the league among the 30 quarterbacks that have attempted at least 1,000 passes since 2018. The only quarterback with a higher percentage over that span is 6'5" Cam Newton at 2.56 percent.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
