This is an ignorant statement made to support your anti-Bryce bias. Deep passing is down league-wide.https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/player-stat/gross-yards-per-passing-attempt?season_id=21

Go watch the Chiefs, Dolphins, 49ers, etc. Most of the top offenses in the league are based on short, quick passing games in one form or another.

Next time try to bother actually knowing something about what you're talking about before you post more of your smart-ass nonsense.

you are looking at throws over 20 yards and I am talking about yards per attempt as a whole which yes dipped in 2022 but is back up this year

edit to say this chart shows https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/NFL/passing.htm

yards per att and actual yards gained slightly ticked down from 7.1 - 6.9 and 6.9 -6.7  Not a huge deal but down.  Not sure what the first chart showed it going up and completions % doesnt fluctuate that much since 2018 hovers in the 64 range with a high 65.2

 

 

 

There were 3,416 attempts at least 15 yards downfield during the 2022 regular season, the fewest in any season since 2006.

But when quarterbacks did let it fly, they were pretty successful. Completion percentages on those attempts of at least 15 yards downfield was 45.1% -- the second-highest completion percentage in a single season since 2006.

 

If I am misreading that chart then I stand corrected but to me the yards per attempt is going up

this is also interesting and it seems like the data is skewed, maybe from covid I dont know

 

7.9 in 2020  7.8 2023
