any port in a storm I guess

Too much to ask picking in the middle of the third round. Unless you are historically lucky. Hell you need luck in the 1st to get that. The devaluation of the position is hard for me to understand when I look at the difference great MLBs have made to defenses over the years. Defense needs a good QB too. MLB is the QB of the defense.

Across the league. 5 straight years of decline. Deep pass attempts have fallen to just 7.7 per game in 2024, down from that 2019 peak. Air yards per attempt are at 7.7 yards this year—the lowest in over a decade. Overall passing yards per game have tanked too, from 496 in 2020’s early weeks to a 403 in 2024. This trend is a result of defenses playing with two-high safety schemes designed to prevent deep passes, forcing offenses to seek yards after the catch on shorter throws. Two-high safety calls are everywhere now—up from 44% of dropbacks in 2019 to 63% in 2024—forcing QBs to take shorter throws instead of risking picks on bombs. Add in more presnap disguises, faster pass rushes (QB pressure up to 30.1% of dropbacks), and lighter, quicker D-linemen, and it’s a nightmare for deep shots. Offenses have adapted with emphasizing power run games to counter deep coverage and fast but leaner pass rushers. Rushing attempts per game are up to 27.9 per game average with top teams significantly in the 30+ attempts. QBs are emphasizing more short and intermediate throws so that the few deep passes they attempt have a higher completion percentage overall than in years past. So to everyone who is frustrated with lack of deep passing, it’s all cyclical and right now emphasis on the run and taking more calculated shots is the way to go.

Even though Bryce does creep into nearly every discussion at some point, there is other stuff to engage with. If he was doing that I missed it.

We desperately need to pick the best MLB in the draft this time around. We will never find another Luke, but we have to get someone back there that can run the defense on the field, cover weaknesses and correct mistakes in real-time, along with diagnose the opposing offense based on personnel, alignment and pre-snap movement. And they need to be able to hit like a freight train, cover like flypaper and tackle like a rotweiller. Not too much to ask.

So AI’s big solution is to have all your picks in the first three rounds??

Nadeu is ready tbh.... out of him and Blake he was always the far superior prospect.....

His noodle arm impresses you? Lol

Beat the Bills and I wonder if Tepper's patience starts wearing off smelling playoffs and he gets involved again.

Well you know, that ain’t my list but argument’s sake, wasn’t Daniel Jones a scout team player last season at one point? Wasn’t Baker that here at one point? Surely there will be some kind of path out of this, if ‘we’ decide want out.

all the other bryce supporters watching him get dragged

Probably not

Pretty sure you get in big trouble with the NFL if you lie about the injury report. He's been DNP all week.

I think he misses this week and depending on Daltons performance, he could play next week (basically rush him back). If Dalton plays well, maybe Bryce sits two weeks. Don’t think the sprain was that bad, but they would probably like to play it safe.

Wilson is okay. He’s Rozeboom in my opinion. They put him on a big contract and started playing young guys over him, so he wants out.

He hasn’t been practicing, he has been DNP both days. He has been working off the side doing stretches. He doesn’t seem to be walking with any type of limp though. So either there is soreness he isn’t showing or Canales is trying to confuse the poo out of the Bills. This Mazda add is horrible. You can’t click on anything without it taking over the entire screen.

I think it’s less about deep passes and more about pushing the ball down the field in chunks but they just don’t know how to articulate it. Either way the list is horrible.

The only one I would even consider would be Mac Jones and that’s because he’s following a similar career arch as Darnold

lol. I still haven’t figured out what announcing that you’re leaving is supposed to do. Just leave. These long time posters have some big egos. Bryce is way too inconsistent to be crashing out over.

I dont get the fascination with poor information.

Residents of a graveyard would be more positive than most of the folks around here.

Rage quitting over Bryce Young is the funniest thing I have seen here since that diehard Jets fan that came over with Sam Darnold rage quit this place.

There have been real, actual statistical analysis of these sort of things. ChatGPT spit out a dimestore version of those. People, stop relying on current AI for information. It's atrociously bad.

It has been funny to watch the transformation in Indy when they realized AR was not going to be the guy and got a "distressed property" QB. If there is an offseason to make such a move, it's this offseason.

A large chunk of the Huddle apparently is so starved for "deep passes" that they want to get blown out week in and week out as we lead the NFL in DTD's.
