With all of the QB pro days it’s easy to get caught up with who is throwing the ball the furthest or the most completions in shorts and t-shirts so it might be nice to have some actual game time stats to compare these guys with.

We like to talk about elite traits but at the end of the day actually giving your WR a chance to catch the ball might be the most important trait.

Same stat but for 15+ yards since 2019

This doesn’t guarantee Pickett will be good or that Willis will bust but it’s interesting none the less.

Now let's have a look at Pickett's other seasons. You know, when he was barely even mediocre.

https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-quarterback-rankings-all-130-fbs-starters
 

“With Jamie Newman now gone, Pickett is in the conversation for the most accurate quarterback in the ACC, as his uncatchable-throw rate on passes thrown past the line of scrimmage was first in the ACC in 2019. His performance under pressure was exceptional this past year, too, as he converted pressure to sacks at the third-lowest rate in the Power 5 while earning a 27th-ranked passing grade under pressure. That said, Pickett failed to crack the top 100 when it came to big-time throw total, so he'll want to change that in 2020.”

Sounds like he was accurate and avoided sacks, but also avoided big time throws in 2019.

My boy Carson Strong did THAT and 4186yds 36tds 70%completion on one leg. 

All the hype goes to the other lesser QBs though.

It's all good.

On average, accuracy is one of the traits that translates the best to the NFL.

historically yes

Josh Allen has been a bit of an exception, also If I remember some of Herberts accuracy metrics were not the best coming out.  The NFL tends to be a bit of copy cat league, I really think Josh Allen's success helped someone like Trey Lance get drafted as high as we did.   All of a sudden it is in vogue to take the toolsy guy and hope he can improve his accuracy.  That same thought process will probably get Willis drafted a lot higher than he would have in the past.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
