[GRAPH] Bryce's accuracy + separation for WRs

These charts can be misleading

There are numerous examples where Bryce isn’t pulling the trigger on throws with guys open

His slow processing time is definitely attributing to some of the separation issues on these graphs 

 

Even with those skewing it to a degree, this is pretty terrible data. I’d say both correlate too. If WRs aren’t separating and dropping passes with CBs sitting on predictable routes then rookie QBs are going to get more hesitant to throw the ball. His footwork isn’t going to get better either until we fix the interior of the OL. We need a new center and depth for when BC returns. BC’s injury killed our OL.

I really don’t think the OL has much to do with his overall footwork

The game is moving way too fast, he’s processing slow and he’s becoming scared/hesitant. His footwork will improve if his processing time speeds up and he begins to trust what he sees. Right now it’s all a mess and imo it starts with his brain

Be honest though, there's WAY more examples of the WRs not getting separation than there are of Bryce not pulling the trigger. That's not even all on the WRs, that's on the scheme doing absolutely nothing to give them space to work with.

The offense is a mess top to bottom.

I agree this entire thing is a mess but Bryce deserves some of the blame for sure

This is also for passes 5+ yards downfield. Young has a 63% completion rate so not horrible there but he also has the lowest YPA by far of starters at 5.4. Only Daniel Jones was also below 6 YPA.

He barely throws the ball deep so of course he’s going to skew more accurate. Our WRs are poo so they aren’t helping him at all but this graph is borderline useless for Young because he throws downfield less than any starter in the NFL.

I do agree that this needs more context because even an idiot with a TV (hey, that's me!) can see that Bryce shares his fair share of the blame.  But even then, Bryce shouldn't be sitting in the top left.  He does need more help.  He also needs to play faster, that would help his WRs.

I do think that Bryce is very accurate and has the ability to play with great anticipation.  There has just been a train wreck of a season which has him thinking too much, overthinking, and not playing fast and lose.  Part of that is him, part is the scheme, part is the rest of the offense, and a large part is the vaunted coaching staff.

That's such an outlier metric wise. It's also telling that the guys on the chart that are the furthest outliers are in very unique situations.  

Mac Jones: Genuinely terrible

Jimmy G: Genuinely terrible

Bryce Young: Has the 3rd lowest YPA in the modern era for starting QBs (min 8 games), but his first read is rarely open

Tua: Highly effective offense he's running, his first read is often open.  But he's also going above and beyond on deeper throws this year.

this chart can be misleading since it only shows his actual throws.  young is indecisive and slow to react. this is not on the receivers.

on plays where he doesn't think and just reacts, receivers are miraculously open. it's the reason why he's so effective in an up tempo offense.

this offense would be so much more effective if it was a run heavy, play action scheme. it takes pressure off the offensive line, and it puts young more in his element when it's time to pass the ball.

Ironic since his “processing” was supposed to be a major asset. Just goes to show you can’t expect a rookie to be a savior, especially with so little help on offense.

    • 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
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
