I know this gets poo pooed… rather frequently. But. Our WR room is technically better (at least on paper , for that type of statistic). Why did this just disappear? Why do we not even bother looking at those last ten games (coaching staff, not reddit) and see where things worked and where they didn’t.
This topic is obviously hot. But I’d really love to see us at least try to push the ball like we were in the final ten.

I say fuck it let Bryce sling it
Even if there’s some picks At least make them think they have to try something other than stack the box for Rico
Isn’t 7th and 5th still really good? I thought all the advanced stats say he sucks.
He’s trash. His last 2-3 games which made the stts way better were fluke
I don’t know why people expect Bryce to suddenly start slinging it. The past few weeks have been all Dowdle and clearly the coaching staff has been focusing on the run game. It’s their fault for not mixing in actual passing plays. Dowdle is great but Bryce needs rhythm. Every QB does. Offenses need variety. Being 1 dimensional is bad.
I was told Bryce has never done it and can’t do it.
Chemistry with the receiver corps and confidence of the QB to throw it to them And the receiver to be on route to catch the ball.
Wtf are these stats
Hell yeah. We’re still 5th in “big tim” throw rate.
That’s a stat I can get behind.
I doubt they even run barely any deep routes in practice. Probably not since camp where they would clip some nice catches
He needs roids
He’s not good at nfl football. That’s all.
Fuck, he’s only 5th in throwing it to BIG TIM now? What 4 QBs are giving BIG TIM all their attention?
7th and 5th being in red is hilarious to me lmaoo
Most of his deep throws were to Adam so maybe that’s a part of it
Rico
It makes a massive difference to play with no pressure on.
If I’m Tepper, I’m telling Dave to not worry so much about the play offs. Don’t get me wrong, by all means try to win games and keep that goal in mind. But the main priority should be trying to play a more aggressive style of offense. Sling it if we have to. Don’t be afraid to take shots. Is it crazy to say winning games by relying on Dowdle isn’t doing anything for us long term? We can be a run first team yes, but we definitely need more balance to our offense and we really need to pose more of a threat deep down the field. If we do this, I feel like we can have more of an understanding of what we need in this offense. Maybe it’s just better playmakers than the likes of XL. But my gut says it’s BY. The point I’m trying to make is we should let BY play like last year and see if he can recreate last years play or improve on it. If not, then yall in the comments gotta just give up on BY. As of now he just simply isn’t good enough.
Cool. More PFF stats. Despite every year actual NFL players, coaches, front office staff telling the world that PFF grades and stats are bad, people continue to latch on to them as factual. They define a big time throw as-
“A big-time throw is a high-difficulty, high-value pass. They are characterized by excellent ball placement and timing, typically on deeper passes or into tight windows.
These throws can also occur under challenging conditions, such as when a quarterback is under heavy pressure but converts a potential negative into a positive play. Other examples include tight-window throws in the red zone, where space is limited, or perfectly placed 50-yard shots down the field.”
So people who keep using it as proof that Bryce is a great deep ball passer are misapplying the stat.
It is truly baffling that after 37 starts, one of the worst performing qbs in the league still has guys like OP swinging from his nuts. I believe there is no level of failure that could move these people off of Bryce at this point. You just have to chuckle, ridicule then move on.
Weve already traded/lost so many QBs. I dont think Bryce is the issue at all.
Bryce hurt his throwing shoulder in the game against the jags. The play calling reflects a team trying to hide the fact that the qb can’t sling it downfield. Source: my extreme cope
Idk who this Big Tim guy is but who cares about throwing him?
Big time throw is a made up, subjective PFF distortion mechanism.
Don’t forget the offense achieved the fewest first downs in the NFL last season and 2nd worst time of possession.
You can’t have an actual propensity for making big time throws if you can’t move the chains. Likewise, this year, you can’t be top 10 in the league if you’re ypa is around 60th in the league
Thelian? Just my guess. It just seems like that part of his game has been nonexistent all season.
Kirk anyone? 👀👀👀
I think it’s an o line issue, really just consistently… But fuck I’ll take a .500 season
You understand that when you are as physically limited as Bryce stretches like last year are statistical outliers right?
The more he does something the more his results will fall to the typical result.
This is who he is. What you are seeing is what he has always been.
My question is fucking “why though?”
He was whipping ass and taking names those last few games. Why not now? Did the play calling change that much
Seems like every week we have to get on here and tell Dave the obvious shit. We have nothing to lose. If your intention is to make the playoffs while “hiding” Bryce, what the fuck do you think is going to happen if we were to get into the playoffs. Teams aren’t retarded and the 1-5 saints figured it out
Teams have more tape on him to study. Maybe he is throwing lots of pics in practice. They should just let him improvise more because he seems to respond to those situations pretty well.
Ya’ll do know that defenses get paid too right? Defenses got tape on him and made adjustments, it’s not that hard to understand.
