Shotgun usage over the past 22 years. I wonder what happened after 2011?

And still a third of the snaps are under center. Still need your QB to be able to do that… not saying Bryce can’t, he didn’t at Bama but that’s just the offense they run. On the staff to evaluate without the film proving he can, and I trust them to do just that

67% is a far cry from the 90%+ that the cards have been in shotgun since drafting Murray. We will be the same if we draft Young, it is necessary for him to be able to see the field. He cant take 7 step drops every play in the NFL, tackles wont hold up against speed rushers and he will get killed by a huge guy coming off the edge.

The primary reason for shotgun is to give more time to beat the pass rush. As highschool and college offenses moved more and more towards spread offenses with more receivers and fewer blockers shotgun became dominant. This trickled up to the NFL. QBs are unlikely to have much experience under center

The San Francisco 49ers set a new record by going shotgun (or pistol) on 99 percent of plays in 2016. This was Maximum Chip Kelly like the NFL had never seen before. 

(2-14) record

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
