I mean, he pretty clearly improved in that area this past season. He also clearly needs to take more shots down the field, but his deep accuracy has definitely improved since his rookie year.

I got some golf shoes with the BOA (not bank of America) system. It's legit awesome. I wish it was on every shoe made.

Can’t wait to hear you guys crying about how Dan isn’t doing enough or missed with some signings

Detroit. anybody that walked through those doors at the time failed

The narrative's always been that they limit the playbook because of Bryce not that he's incapable of completing a deep pass. If he threw 99% on a handful of attempts that totally fits what we've been saying. Calling it "efficiency" without any regard for volume is a stretch. Stafford had the most deep attempts in the league and is just under Bryce completion rate at 98.7%. Who do you think is better at it?

and Hell, we lock him in for 5 years on a rookie contract and let him test the market at 31. Plenty of productive edge rushers still getting it done at that age.

total nonsense. Big time throws aren't deep passes. as for the rest, it's not actually stats shaking out like that like some suggests because it's not stats and production.....as Bryce is graded on subjective imaginations of plays that also don't even happen. Incompletions. and if you are the best at something, you aren't at the bottom half in attempting to do such a thing. It's like naming some random backup RB with a small handful of carries that hit some draw plays for big gains that worked out well....the best RB in the NFL lol.

Exactly. It make no sense to pick up the fifth year AND spend 50M on what? At best, a qb competition where each competitor is making 25M+ or at worst a 25M+ backup. The team that overspends for him will be expecting him to start.

I can't see the team going out of their way for a QB next season, think that was their whole reasoning behind picking up Bryce's fifth year. I'm expecting a low profile draft pick and a vet to replace Dalton.

As I understand it, and I may be wrong, the stat is less about situational success and more about a nice throw into a small window. And then you can project that onto a situational deal. It has been a while but the definition was really broad and doesn’t focus on ‘time’ at all. The throw could be in the 2nd qtr of an October football game. A purely routine situation. It is a quality of the throw thing. They name these stats to impart importance to them. Big time. Deep. To me those aren’t really honest characterizations and it frustrates me. Kind of like we (or, I, anyway) tend to think of game winning drives as being a 4 minute or less drive brilliantly orchestrated by the QB when in reality it can include a score following a turnover on the first play of the 4th quarter, a couple of handoffs and the kicker comes in. If that is the deciding score, you get a game winning drive. That is the truth.

I don't know much about the first round guy, but I'd love Hill, Green should be a nice developmental project QB, throw in a fast safety and massive OT that can eventually replace Moton and I'd be pretty happy with that.

For me the time to take the chance was where the Packers got him (yet it doesn’t seem like they took advantage). Or where the Titans did (3rd round). Anyway Green Bay gave Tennessee a 7th rounder for him. Everyone is on him now. The ticket price has gone way up to where he is like betting on the prohibitive favorite. He would have to ‘win’ or you are screwed.

While I agree Bain got a lot of the double teams this year, Mesidor actually faced a ton of double teams in 2024 (along with Bain when healthy) and still had pretty good stats. The much better DT play Miami had in 2025 helped limit the number of double teams Mesidor faced. I actually think Mesidor has one of the best combos of speed + technique among edge rushers in the class (probably behind Bain & Bailey). Run defense might be a problem for him and he is not good in coverage (aka he needs to be strictly rushing the passer/playing the run every down he is on the field). Jarred Verse was old also (24 at the start of his rookie year), so I hope we aren't using age as a big knock on his draft rank. We could still get 5 years out of him before he hits his 2nd contract and then move on if he gets pricy his age 29/30 season. Medicals definitely need to be looked at closely for him, though he has stayed healthy the last 2 seasons.

We really should look into him heavily and see if he's worth taking a chance on. But it's the Panthers. They're dumb, so they won't. Stuck with the midget for another season.

In other news, Nick Mullens is the most accurate QB in the NFL... he has 100% completion percentage!!!!! (don't pay attention to the fact that he only attempted 3 passes)

Like Mesidor, Hill, and Wheatley, but would like to see a trade down at 19 (to like 25ish) if we take Mesidor and am not sure Hill is there at 51

Maybe PFF calls it Big Time throws for Bryce because since he is such a little guy, any throw pass the line of scrimmage counts as a Big Time throw... And it would have been nice if PFF included Big Time Throw attempts/game on that graphic also. Because we all know Bryce attempted like maybe 2 deep passes per game

Supposed to say "amused", but you can't edit

Well yes, because then their stats and metrics would start to reflect what we saw every Sunday in Autumn for the last 3 years.

Teams doubled (and sometimes tripled with a chip) Bain on almost every down, which left Mesidor singled up all the time. He's a really good player and if he's there in the 2nd round you take the shot. He's just not a first rounder at 25 years old with his injury history. Stats are fun, but if you watch the games you'll see who teams were game planning against. When they left Bain isolated he wrecked games.

He basically only throws it deep when the WR is high school wide open.

Don't like taking a 1st rounder that's that old. Basically get one contract out of him after the 5th year option and that's about it. Like Anthony Hill, but doubt he's there. Taylen Green is becoming the QB I want. Ephesians Prysock sounds like a Key and Peele name, so, sure.

I don't think we would trade up that much the way DM seems to covet draft picks. Although if the right player is there, I can quickly get on board with the "fug them picks" strategy. I'd rather have one elite prospect over one very good, one good, and one okay. But if the trade package involves a future first? Nope. Biggest thing for us, and other teams I think...will be wanting to protect 2027 picks because they're likely going to be like gold due to the QB class.

Bane?!

Lol. Sure thing buddy
