ESPN Analytics: Bryce Young 431 of 431 QBs since 2011 in yards per dropback

I mean yeah, he's averaging like 5 yards per attempt. That would've been terrible 20-30 years ago let alone in the modern NFL where all rules favor offense and particularly passing. Sure part of that is the offense and lack of weapons/protection, but a lot of it is still Bryce and his inability to threaten downfield. Plenty of other QBs throughout the years have done better with just as bad of a supporting cast and coaching.

Bryce Young's YPA is the second lowest in recorded history.  1st was Jawalrus' final season at 5.23 in 2009.  Derek Carr had a 5.46 in 2014.  Bryce is currently at 5.40.

It's bad.  It's also because of the personnel around him, but it's damn bad.

Wow. A team that is 1-10 happens to be statistically bad. Great insight. 

A few points to consider. 

Firstly, this isn't statistically bad, this is historically bad.  Bad stats can happen.  But seriously, it takes a lot to end up at the bottom of a list of 431 names.  Think about some of the names on that list.  Tajh Boyd.  Bryce Petty.  Nathan Peterman.  These are bad, bad players . . . and BY is at the bottom.  That's scary.

Secondly, he's going to get next season to turn it around.  There is nothing we can do this offseason to fix the QB spot.  If you bring in a guy, Bryce is done.  Now maybe he should be, but I don't believe you can give up on a guy you invested that much in after only one season.  No!  It doesn't look good right now, but he should get that chance.

Finally, we have to be honest.  By the middle of next season, we will know about Bryce.  And if it's a bust, we have to be ready to call it a bust and move on.  Let's not hang on hoping for a miracle.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

I'm pulling for him to succeed, but I'm not gonna pretend it's likely.

I watched that horror show yesterday, and honestly I wasn't sure if it was true about receiver separation and bad protection or because Bryce can't throw deep... but I was wrong, that man is working with absolutely nothing. Not saying he will improve, but I just can't make a judgment on him this year. It's a literal disaster.

We won't know exactly how much of this is Bryce's fault until he's under a new staff and has WRs who can get separation.

Well, we do know that it's somewhere between quite a bit and a lot just from watching the games if we're being honest. The awful footwork. The jump passes. The misses. The bad reads leading to INTs. The constant checks (kill! kill! kill!) into ineffective runs and screens. 

Bryce has been bad, y'all. It's very obvious. Yes, the entire offense is also had and that's not all in Bryce. But Bryce is a big reason why this offense has been atrocious.

    • Nailed it! Chiefs got #10 overall (and selected Mahomes) and sent the Bills #27, #91, and a 2018 first-rounder (ended up being #18) to pick the QB that has kept them out of the Super Bowl. 💀 Tbf to the Bills tho, they turned those picks into Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Tremaine Edmunds, and Siran Neal. Three out of four hits ain't bad at all, but that one for one for KC... ooh wee mayne.
    • Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.
