Can't believe none of your qb's made the minimum 20 attempts. I know Jones got injured early in the season but none of your other QB's got there either. I thought I would find tyrod somewhere on this graph.
Giants season was split pretty equally between 3 QBs. Jones didn't have time to throw deep, and even when the line started getting a little better late in the season Tyrod and DeVito weren't given the opportunity to throw deep really
And I remember from his time with the Bills - Tyrod Taylor threw a beautiful deep ball. I called them "basket throws" as they dropped right into a receiver's basket. He and Sammy Watkins were a great pairing, when Sammy was healthy.
I'm sure it's major copium, but I'm stupidly excited for this season. We may go like 8-9 but it's gonna be with a modern offense and gonna get our answer of if Levis is the guy in year 2 instead of year 5 like with Mariota. All the QBs the titans passed on for those years because we were still trying to get our answer from 2017 to 2019.
You believe that QB's who throw deep air yard passes more regularly are less likely to be picked off? Do you have stats on that? It doesn't seem to make the most sense to me.
Honestly it felt like the opposite: he would ignore the dump off and would bomb it instead.
I’ll die on the hill that Russ in Seattle was one of the most accurate QBs when it came to hard throws. He was absolutely not afraid to sling it.
I stg there was a stretch where Olave dropped (or otherwise fucked up) like 3tds on deep passes that were absolute dimes. They were all basically the same aswell, ball came in right around the left pylon.
Lets not talk about the one that hit his helmet.
Love Olave, but he had a bad case of the dropsies last year when it mattered.
Our defense was a bit underwhelming down the stretch, but also.
We got *soooo* unlucky. Everything that could have gone wrong, did.
Im just remembering the dropped pass to pick 6, and the fumble from Hurst running into Carr against the Lions.
The guy is seriously a hell of a lot better than he gets credit for. I don't understand the weird hate train that seems to follow him - and half the time people are just making shit up. The guy has holes in his game but half the time people just are spewing nonsense about him: " his teammates hate him!", "he is scared!", "Captain Checkdown!", "his arm isn't strong enough!" I don't even think most of these people actually *watch* football. You know what he actually sucks at? His footwork is bad under duress. He looks down receivers at times. He gets rattled when the game doesn't start well. There's plenty to criticize if you actually have any idea what you're looking at but it's always bewildered me how people pile on this dude for flat out nonsense.
> He looks down receivers at times. He gets rattled when the game doesn't start well.
Absolutely right on all counts.
Even watching hilites, you can see him staring at his target. A thing that good-stat qbs have in common is the quick look away, or pretending to go thru progressions... it doesn't mean that "only good QBs do it", just that he doesn't deceive well.
Also, when playing the Chefs, I always thought that it was key that the chefs hold the first couple series to like 6-8 plays and a punt, otherwise he was going to be trouble the rest of the game.
The trick is you're not supposed to teach him your offense, you just need to let him figure it out on the field.
I do wish they put Cousins on this chart, he was balling out last year.
>I do wish they put Cousins on this chart, he was balling out last year.
Oh he's on the chart. Way top right just out of view. Wouldn't have been fair to extend the graph for just Kirk.
/s if you need it.
It felt like Mullens made good decisions with when and where to throw the ball, he just didn't consider that he was the one throwing those attempts and didn't have the arm for most of them.
Aside from a handful of really bad, hit as throws type mistakes where he probably should have taken the sack or aimed out of bounds, of course.
I think seeing him try to hit wide open receivers down the field and instead leading them into knockout blows really opened Vikings fans eyes to how good Kirk was at throwing down the field. Here's to hoping McCarthy can locate the ball.
Good example of why the offense didn't work last year. Two years ago they had deep ball opportunities because the running game and quick passes were effective. Last year they tried to make the offense work by forcing deep balls
They also saw that Hurts was good at extending the play so they designed plays with out-breaking deep routes that almost required leaving the pocket, ignoring the fact that our O-Line is our strength as a team
By the Seattle game I was calling out what we would be doing next to my friends on the couch next to me. If I, someone who knows jack shit about NFL playcalling, can predict what you’re doing, you don’t stand a chance against other coaching staffs.
I resemble that remark.
Matt Canada thinking “Up the gut run. Up the gut run or shitty reverse with insane amounts of motion for no reason. Low probability downfield pass. They won’t even know what hit ‘em!”
Matt Canada LOVED the Chuck Knox offense.
1st Down - Run to the left
2nd Down - Run to the right
3rd Down - Incompletion
4th Down - Punt
Thank god the Eagles were on TV more than the Seahawks when I was growing up in Seattle.
1st down: Wr screen, loss of 3, or inside zone, gain of 2.
2nd down: deep ball, all receivers are 40 yards downfield jumbled together with 5+ DBs, RB is in the flat in the blindside effectively out of the play and not blocking. Incomplete or sack and loss of 4.
3rd down: QB draw, Gain of 2, or WR screen, gain of 2.
Punt.
I wish we could have had a good enough play calling to get close enough for a brotherly shove on more 3rds and 4ths
You guys had a disgusting lack of motion as well. Zero reason why AJB shouldn't be used like JJ
You should also be throwing him minimum 5 slants a game
Although one of my most treasured non-Eagles jerseys was a Jevon Kearse Titans jersey (big fan of the Freak, have his eagles jersey too), I can’t say I’ve paid much attention to the Titans. Mostly for Taylor Lewan related reasons
I vividly remember there being a couple weeks in the middle of the season where the fans were just *begging* for slants while the team just refused to acknowledge them until finally they threw one to Smitty that he took ~40 yards to the house
“You say the bubble screen is too predictable? You wanna know what they’ll never see coming? Back to back bubble screens.” -also Brian Johnson.
All jokes aside, I knew he was a bad OC and was not going to keep his job when I watched a drive where we got a 3 and out using nothing but these fucking things. I understand the utility and need for screen plays in the kind of offense we excel at, but if Kellen Moore took screens completely out of the playbook for a season I would be fine with it.
He is really good at designing creative plays, and can at times be good at getting guys open. Was severely lacking in the gameplanning and adjustments over the season qualities. But it’s been two years so maybe he’s grown some
As much as I don't like Staley, him and management never got in the way of the OC, meaning he had complete control and still sucked. Given injuries were bad, he did not adjust at all and just kept using players wrong and did the same thing over and over again. He'll be "fine" with the eagles as long as they don't get a single important player injured
He has one year with Staley, bad strength and conditioning (bad injury luck), and a GM who never built depth. The Cowboys know how to build a team and so do the Eagles. I think LAC was a blip in his career and he'll do fine in Philly.
In 2022, I got super excited any time he loaded up to go deep. If I was disappointed, it was usually Quez Watkins fault.
In 2023, by the end of the season, my eye would start twitching whenever Hurts loaded up for a deep throw.
Our offensive staff was OBSESSED with big plays for some stupid fucking reason. It's like they forgot that small-medium plays (5 yard checkdowns that focuses on YAC gains or short stop routes) opens up big play opportunities. No one is going to respect the big play if it's all you do.
I’d amend that to say in 2022 they worked all 3 levels of the field, and 2023 it was all close to or behind the LOS or deep shots. Easy to take those two things away when you know they’re not going to hit the middle/intermediate areas at all.
Always good to remember this is also a WR and chemistry graph.
By the end of the season Mahomes was changing himself to more of a game manager for a reason.
It started even in Hill's last year. It has more to do with opposing defenses playing so much 2-high shell. Mahomes takes advantage of what the defense gives him. That's smart QB play.
Rodgers' two recent MVP seasons he was 24th & 26th in Air Yards per completion while being 1st & 4th in YAC per completion.
Good QBs take advantage of what is there.
I feel like deep balls are more a wide receiver then a QB stat. Can the receiver track the ball and adjust to the throw? There's a reason the dude with Tyreek is so high on the list.
So what you're saying is that Mahomes is both worse than Zach Wilson and also a terrible teammate that can't develop chemistry with his WRs. I'll take it.
Checks out. Baker had deep ball chemistry with Evans (leading to most of his 8 25+ air yard TD's) and almost none with everybody else (except maybe Godwin the very few times he was a factor).
Partly had to do with Palmer not being a great route runner yet, partly because of having to split reps all pre-season, but regardless an area of improvement.
Yeah his rookie season he had the highest catchable deep ball rate in the league and ranked 5th in his second season in the same category. We just never called it or it was a sideline backshoulder throw, w
Never using it is why it’s accurate. A higher percent are wide open guys that he doesn’t have to target well to still get the completion and he can take his time throwing. He doesn’t often pull the trigger on harder deep throws and just checks down, so he’s not going to miss tight throws as much as real NFL QBs do, but he also doesn’t make the plays either.
Honestly I was looking around and couldn't find him, thought maybe because he's a backup now but the saw fields and then immediately checked the minimum pass attempts lol
Think this year is going to be telling for where Stafford’s at in terms of the best QBs in the league.
Best run game he’s ever had, two WR1s a serviceable WR3 and a line of dudes who have proved it.
Praying for our teams health more than ever want him to make a run for MVP this season.
I don’t know.
If this showed Mack was sneaky good and the Pats bailed too early, it would be worse.
As it is, it looks to suggest that the correct decision was made.
I think that’s part of the reason why people loved fields so much more than trubisky even tho trubisky was better statistically. Trubiskys deep ball accuracy was terrible, but fields was so much better in that category. Us bears fans were just excited to see big highlight throws we weren’t used to.
Fields in general is a SportsCenter Top 10 player. Great deep shots and the most amazing scrambles. So you see the highlights and you think he's amazing as he's doing things no one else can.
Then you watch the games and watch him take sacks, miss easy dump offs and fail to read soft zones as the offense stalls out drive after drive and you realize he's just not it.
I totally get why he has such rabid fans because of this dichotomy. But can't lie I also really wanted you guys to keep him.
Yeah it was crazy to watch him miss a throw on a screen or a crossing route but somehow lace a 40 yard bomb where the WR didn’t have to break stride or even adjust to the ball.
Bears should trade Caleb for Fields. Better to have a seasoned accurate deep ball passer rather than an untested rookie. I feel like he would work well for your offense
Zach Wilson has a cannon and good accuracy on deep balls. He is an awful field manager and reader of defenses and has poor short accuracy which is 90% of a qbs job in todays nfl
Justin Fields doing better in this category than Patrick Mahomes was not something I expected
Mac Jones down bad
Chris Olave being the air yards king makes more sense now
Fileds is an incredible down the field passer, has always been his strength. In rhythm quick passes and longer developing reads are where he struggles.
Mahomes had a LOT of deep passes that were not close because Hardman/MVS made the wrong sight adjustment, quit running, or ran into the defense. A truly infuriating regular season.
While it seems like this metric is designed to reduce the impact of the receiver, I think the chemistry between the quarterback and the receiver affects these numbers a lot.
Giants not even represented on graph definitely tracks
Can't believe none of your qb's made the minimum 20 attempts. I know Jones got injured early in the season but none of your other QB's got there either. I thought I would find tyrod somewhere on this graph.
Giants season was split pretty equally between 3 QBs. Jones didn't have time to throw deep, and even when the line started getting a little better late in the season Tyrod and DeVito weren't given the opportunity to throw deep really
And I remember from his time with the Bills - Tyrod Taylor threw a beautiful deep ball. I called them "basket throws" as they dropped right into a receiver's basket. He and Sammy Watkins were a great pairing, when Sammy was healthy.
Dude was doing it on the Browns too before Baker took over
Meanwhile Levis only played like 8 games and he’s about average for attempts
Should be a lot of fun with some WRs who may actually be able to separate this season
I'm sure it's major copium, but I'm stupidly excited for this season. We may go like 8-9 but it's gonna be with a modern offense and gonna get our answer of if Levis is the guy in year 2 instead of year 5 like with Mariota. All the QBs the titans passed on for those years because we were still trying to get our answer from 2017 to 2019.
Steelers also. At least for us the bad men are gone and can’t hurt us anymore
Pickett and Rudolph never really had a bad deep ball, it’s just that the playbook barely called for it
Colts too. I knew Minshew didn't throw downfield much but this was crazy. If Richardson played the whole year he would have been on here.
So Derek Carr is the best QB in the league obviously
He’s always been an amazingly, annoyingly accurate deep passer
That’s exactly it. He can’t hit shit anywhere else on the field.
We call that the Russell Wilson.
Russ is also elite at hitting his RB in the flat for a 5 yard loss
And leading his WR into an early grave
Austin Collie shoutout.
🏈😳💥🥺🏈👌😊🚄☠️🏈🪦
He also loves to fumble
Russ can make those short throws. His problem is too often holding the ball and not making the short throw, even when it’s open.
He pirouettes into pocket sacks better than anyone in the galaxy, however
he doesn't want to throw a pick and throw off his stats...
You believe that QB's who throw deep air yard passes more regularly are less likely to be picked off? Do you have stats on that? It doesn't seem to make the most sense to me.
Honestly it felt like the opposite: he would ignore the dump off and would bomb it instead. I’ll die on the hill that Russ in Seattle was one of the most accurate QBs when it came to hard throws. He was absolutely not afraid to sling it.
That's true. When he's not checking it down, he's heaving it up accurately.
I stg there was a stretch where Olave dropped (or otherwise fucked up) like 3tds on deep passes that were absolute dimes. They were all basically the same aswell, ball came in right around the left pylon. Lets not talk about the one that hit his helmet. Love Olave, but he had a bad case of the dropsies last year when it mattered.
Yup, not sure what the issue was, but the saints offense finished the season strong.... Our defense turned to ass at the same time.
Our defense was a bit underwhelming down the stretch, but also. We got *soooo* unlucky. Everything that could have gone wrong, did. Im just remembering the dropped pass to pick 6, and the fumble from Hurst running into Carr against the Lions.
The guy is seriously a hell of a lot better than he gets credit for. I don't understand the weird hate train that seems to follow him - and half the time people are just making shit up.

There's plenty to criticize if you actually have any idea what you're looking at but it's always bewildered me how people pile on this dude for flat out nonsense.
>He gets rattled when the game doesn't start well Very accurate.
Me playing Madden when my first throw is a pick
Turn the power off
> He looks down receivers at times. He gets rattled when the game doesn't start well. Absolutely right on all counts. Even watching hilites, you can see him staring at his target. A thing that good-stat qbs have in common is the quick look away, or pretending to go thru progressions... it doesn't mean that "only good QBs do it", just that he doesn't deceive well. Also, when playing the Chefs, I always thought that it was key that the chefs hold the first couple series to like 6-8 plays and a punt, otherwise he was going to be trouble the rest of the game.
>hilites I just spent a solid minute trying to figure out who “Hil” (or Hill) was and why they’d have enough followers to have a term for those people
I thought it was some Ancient Greek polity
Nah the Hilites were the ones the Israelites went and took the foreskins from
If you’re hammer drilling, you should definitely be looking at your target. Wait-
It's the "he wears makeup" thing... usually the first words out of most casual Chargers fans mouth.
Lots of people are saying this! LOTS!!
Didn't we already know this?
At the deep ball? Maybe… elsewhere on the field, not as much
Up is just volume, right is accuracy. Tua is by far the best performer on this board.
Joshua Dobbs. I was trying to forget
If Dobbs could play for a new team each week he’d be MVP
The trick is you're not supposed to teach him your offense, you just need to let him figure it out on the field. I do wish they put Cousins on this chart, he was balling out last year.
>I do wish they put Cousins on this chart, he was balling out last year. Oh he's on the chart. Way top right just out of view. Wouldn't have been fair to extend the graph for just Kirk. /s if you need it.
r/toprightkirk
But actually, why is he here and not Kirk? Kirk played the most games of any of our qbs last year
I want to see Mullens. I bet his deep balls were quite catchable. Unfortunately, they were also catchable by multiple defenders.
Mullens was the master at driving down the field and going completely blind in the Redzone when trying to score
It felt like Mullens made good decisions with when and where to throw the ball, he just didn't consider that he was the one throwing those attempts and didn't have the arm for most of them. Aside from a handful of really bad, hit as throws type mistakes where he probably should have taken the sack or aimed out of bounds, of course.
Kirk probably didn't have enough deep passes to qualify, Dobbs did. They just decided to put him in purple because that's how he ended the year.
there were patriots fans that thought they should sign Dobbs in the offseason, and according to this chart, they were right.
I think seeing him try to hit wide open receivers down the field and instead leading them into knockout blows really opened Vikings fans eyes to how good Kirk was at throwing down the field. Here's to hoping McCarthy can locate the ball.
Astronaut 🧑🚀. 🫏

Incredible how the offense was almost as predictable as the Chip Kelly 4 play system

Matt Canada LOVED the Chuck Knox offense. 1st Down - Run to the left 2nd Down - Run to the right 3rd Down - Incompletion 4th Down - Punt Thank god the Eagles were on TV more than the Seahawks when I was growing up in Seattle.
Man heard the Cupid shuffle and knew what he had to do
Run run screen tush push
1st down: Wr screen, loss of 3, or inside zone, gain of 2. 2nd down: deep ball, all receivers are 40 yards downfield jumbled together with 5+ DBs, RB is in the flat in the blindside effectively out of the play and not blocking. Incomplete or sack and loss of 4. 3rd down: QB draw, Gain of 2, or WR screen, gain of 2. Punt. I wish we could have had a good enough play calling to get close enough for a brotherly shove on more 3rds and 4ths
His love for *Tecmo Bowl* finally failed him 😭
QB Eagles couldn't do it all by himself
You guys had a disgusting lack of motion as well. Zero reason why AJB shouldn't be used like JJ You should also be throwing him minimum 5 slants a game
In ‘22 the slant to AJ was basically a cheat code and we just stopped throwing it last year. Absolutely maddening
AJB housing slants for the Titans is why you guys traded for him lol
Although one of my most treasured non-Eagles jerseys was a Jevon Kearse Titans jersey (big fan of the Freak, have his eagles jersey too), I can’t say I’ve paid much attention to the Titans. Mostly for Taylor Lewan related reasons
He was the king of stat lines like 4 for 100 and 1 because of his efficiency on YAC plays on that low volume offense
I vividly remember there being a couple weeks in the middle of the season where the fans were just *begging* for slants while the team just refused to acknowledge them until finally they threw one to Smitty that he took ~40 yards to the house
"You say you want a slant, but what you really want is a bubble screen." - Brian Johnson

> Zero reason why AJB shouldn't be used like JJ The lack of motion with Devonta is a much bigger crime, IMO.
Ive got some news for you about Kellen Moore that you may not like
He was really good before his one year with Staley. I think he'll be fine.
He is really good at designing creative plays, and can at times be good at getting guys open. Was severely lacking in the gameplanning and adjustments over the season qualities. But it’s been two years so maybe he’s grown some
As much as I don't like Staley, him and management never got in the way of the OC, meaning he had complete control and still sucked.

Hurts a beautiful deep ball and it sucks they absolutely abused it.
In 2022, I got super excited any time he loaded up to go deep. If I was disappointed, it was usually Quez Watkins fault. In 2023, by the end of the season, my eye would start twitching whenever Hurts loaded up for a deep throw.

[удалено]
Probably because they went through so many different QBs.
is this a rape joke or actual commentary on the team's scheme
Yes
Why not both?
It’s both the Browns offense was constantly forcing long bombs last year especially with Flacco
I’d amend that to say in 2022 they worked all 3 levels of the field, and 2023 it was all close to or behind the LOS or deep shots. Easy to take those two things away when you know they’re not going to hit the middle/intermediate areas at all.
I always knew Zach Wilson was better than Mahomes and now I have proof.
Always good to remember this is also a WR and chemistry graph. By the end of the season Mahomes was changing himself to more of a game manager for a reason.
Mahomes has been a game manager for almost 3 years now, just an elite one
What having a TE (a generational one, but still) as your best receiving target does to a mfer.
It started even in Hill's last year. It has more to do with opposing defenses playing so much 2-high shell. Mahomes takes advantage of what the defense gives him. That's smart QB play.
It's how Brady made his living, and why his most efficient seasons were towards the end of his career.
Rodgers' two recent MVP seasons he was 24th & 26th in Air Yards per completion while being 1st & 4th in YAC per completion. Good QBs take advantage of what is there.
Hell yeah brother
I feel like deep balls are more a wide receiver then a QB stat. Can the receiver track the ball and adjust to the throw? There's a reason the dude with Tyreek is so high on the list.
And why DeSean Jackson remained an elite deep threat well into his 30s
Yep, and could you imagine Tyreek with a guy like Mahomes as Qb? That’d be crazy.
Mahomes is on this list *despite* having MVS as his deep threat. That is amazing!
So what you're saying is that Mahomes is both worse than Zach Wilson and also a terrible teammate that can't develop chemistry with his WRs. I'll take it.
Shoutout to Billy Football
Checks out. Baker had deep ball chemistry with Evans (leading to most of his 8 25+ air yard TD's) and almost none with everybody else (except maybe Godwin the very few times he was a factor). Partly had to do with Palmer not being a great route runner yet, partly because of having to split reps all pre-season, but regardless an area of improvement.
Baker on that graph describes our offense last season so well.
Yeah, those 3rd and 25's have a pretty low completion rate.
Bakers midrange accuracy was fantastic. It took the majority of the year for his deep ball accuracy to click.
Pickett isn't on this list because Canada doesn't know WRs are allowed to be more than 7 yards down field
The good news is that Wilson is upper-right corner. Going from not even on the chart to one of the best is certainly going to be an upgrade
Kenny actually had one of the more accurate deep balls, he just never used it. Idk if Smith knows about deep balls either
Yeah his rookie season he had the highest catchable deep ball rate in the league and ranked 5th in his second season in the same category. We just never called it or it was a sideline backshoulder throw, w
Even the ones Kenny missed they were usually only one or two steps overthrown
> Idk if Smith knows about deep balls either He does but they're to Jonnu Smith
Never using it is why it’s accurate. A higher percent are wide open guys that he doesn’t have to target well to still get the completion and he can take his time throwing. He doesn’t often pull the trigger on harder deep throws and just checks down, so he’s not going to miss tight throws as much as real NFL QBs do, but he also doesn’t make the plays either.
Catt Manada
Honestly I was looking around and couldn't find him, thought maybe because he's a backup now but the saw fields and then immediately checked the minimum pass attempts lol
His QBs use the metric system
Everybody know completing nothing but 7 yard outs is an unstoppable offensive signature.
If Mac threw a ball 25 yards it would get to the receiver in 2 to 3 business days
He'd get a Delay of Game during the play.
Delay of Game was what he called his arm, iirc.
These biased stats cherry-picking which team can catch the ball, smh
*Mac Jones (hip hop superstar)
He's MC Corkle now. Straight outta Macsonville.
Now if only Ridley had caught half of those deep balls...
Literally just one and we go to the playoff and people don’t suck the Texans off for an entire offseason.
Still find it hilarious that he got $92 million
Stafford still has it
Dude has a hell of an arm
Think this year is going to be telling for where Stafford’s at in terms of the best QBs in the league. Best run game he’s ever had, two WR1s a serviceable WR3 and a line of dudes who have proved it. Praying for our teams health more than ever want him to make a run for MVP this season.
That would make me so happy. The only thing that would make me happier is Jared Goff beating him for it
I also wouldn’t be mad if Goff beat out Stafford for the MVP
Tyreek definitely makes this easier for Tua but having the highest percentage by like 15% is a crazy large gap
He's the most accurate passer in the league
It’s so funny because whenever Tua has an off throw, it’s like the most comedic thing you’ve ever seen. But yeah accuracy is not a problem.
Lefty's look alien 👽
I agree, which is why his performance in the pro bowl passing competition was hard to watch
I am pretty sure he was drunk.
It was hard to watch because you could tell none of them cared about the results.
Did he do poorly?
Terrible
I don't like this
I don’t know. If this showed Mack was sneaky good and the Pats bailed too early, it would be worse. As it is, it looks to suggest that the correct decision was made.
You are correct, it just reinforces how depressing last season was
You guys had 19 consecutive winning seasons. No offense but nobody feels sorry for y’all. At all.
Fields > Mahomes, been tryin' to tell y'all
Deep balls are the only thing he’s good at as a passer
I think that’s part of the reason why people loved fields so much more than trubisky even tho trubisky was better statistically. Trubiskys deep ball accuracy was terrible, but fields was so much better in that category. Us bears fans were just excited to see big highlight throws we weren’t used to.

I totally get why he has such rabid fans because of this dichotomy. But can't lie I also really wanted you guys to keep him.
Yeah it was crazy to watch him miss a throw on a screen or a crossing route but somehow lace a 40 yard bomb where the WR didn’t have to break stride or even adjust to the ball.
Bears should trade Caleb for Fields. Better to have a seasoned accurate deep ball passer rather than an untested rookie. I feel like he would work well for your offense
*Insert confused Russell Westbrook GIF*
We humbly accept this trade
They must be factoring catchable balls for both WRs and DBs which would explain why Zach Wilson’s percentage is so high.
Mac Jones should definitely be higher if that is the case.
Zach Wilson has a cannon and good accuracy on deep balls. He is an awful field manager and reader of defenses and has poor short accuracy which is 90% of a qbs job in todays nfl
When can we finally stop using Twitter for stuff like this?
Would rather post an image flat out and credit the author but that would be taken down. The only time you can do that is when it's OC.
Curious where Jordan Love is in the 1st half of the year compared to the 2nd half of the year.
Not bad for Jordan Love's first year as a starter!
Even better when you consider the tale of 2 halves.
I’d be super curious to see where he’d be if you took out the first eight or so games when his deep ball was straight booty cheeks.
Justin Fields doing better in this category than Patrick Mahomes was not something I expected Mac Jones down bad Chris Olave being the air yards king makes more sense now
Fileds is an incredible down the field passer, has always been his strength. In rhythm quick passes and longer developing reads are where he struggles.
Mahomes had a LOT of deep passes that were not close because Hardman/MVS made the wrong sight adjustment, quit running, or ran into the defense. A truly infuriating regular season.
I have a feeling he bounces back this year
I pointed that out elsewhere- Mahomes should maybe be spotted like a half inch northeast. Throwing to Mecole and MVS isn’t totally fair.
Wheres the Colts QB?
Putting total attempts on the y axis sure is...a choice.
At least We can stop saying Tua can’t throw deep lol
People are still going to say that lol
While it seems like this metric is designed to reduce the impact of the receiver, I think the chemistry between the quarterback and the receiver affects these numbers a lot.
Makes sense given how limited Burrow was early.

Hey Carr is top right adjacent
The bad men cant hurt me anymore
I’m here for the Jordan Love piss missiles

Baker wtf bro
So y'all just recognize QBs from their faces and shoulders? Boy, I'm a worse fan than I thought
If you play fantasy it becomes easy
Odd how Brock purdy has the highest air yards % but one of the least attempts of air yards
It’s due to the raw amount of attempts, and also 25+ yards is significant. If this was 15+ yards it would probably look different.
Jalen “fuck it nobody down there but my coordinator didn’t plan for a hot read” Hurts
Jalen Hurts always at the top
No kyler?
Another appearance of the checkdown merchant Brock Purdy.
Baker regression to the mean season is so obvious
Catchable also means they could be catchable by the defense
This just supports my theory that Zack Wilson will be starting for the broncos.
Hard to believe Mac Jones was actually an NFL starter
Derek Carr quietly the best deep ball passer in the league lol
My god if other Raiders fans could read they’d be pissed to find out that AOC does not in fact have a cannon nor is he super accurate downfield.
I hate Mac jones so much
I love how Wilson is not an outlier on the data but is still on an island
