Young has some very good metrics, and he probably has the best tape of all 4 over an extended time, but one stat that does concern me a little bit is that completion percentage on the out routes.

That deeper out route is one of those throws that separates NFL QBs from college QBs.  At the pro level the difference between bad defenses and good defenses is a lot less than at the college level, if you can't successfully throw to a certain part of the field, you are making it a lot easier on the opposing defense.

I'm not saying its going to keep him from being successful, just something to factor in, you can't just look at stats.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
