I always thought the whole tipped balls thing was overblown simply because..it wasn't like he was play againt OL that were 5'6 in college lol Of course NFL players are way more athletic and stronger but height is height  

Batted balls are a symptom of poor offensive line play, ACKTWUALLY.

Generally agree. But it really wasn't a problem last year either when oline play was particularly poor.

Should note that Brees also was pretty good at not having passes batted down.

Not sure about 2024 but Mayfield still had an issue with batted passes in his first year with the Bucs. He is 6'1" which is still short by NFL standards. It's possible it's a case of something Mayfield does that telegraphs to a defensive player when he's going to throw.

Honestly I feel like the difference is Mayfields passes come out on a flatter trajectory with more velocity.... which would lead to more

It's this, a lot of the guys with much stronger arms do get more tipped balls because they don't need to put the same arc on their passes.

That and OL play does contribute.

I never bought into worrying about this anyway.  Cam had plenty of batted balls here so it obviously wasn't a height issue.

I Never harped on the batted balls as much as his other concerns. The thing is qbs who can drive a ball with velocity tend throw it at a lower trajectory anyway so that leads to more bats. Bryce passes are more loft oriented so they have a high arc when leaving his hands. Those are just harder to bat.
