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

also a pro-Young thread if you squint hard enough.

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

Wildcat with Miles Sanders for the remaining 1/3 of snaps.

What percentage was he in shotgun?

I wonder what happened.

 

…and now I’m sad.

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.

99.9999999%, he took 4 snaps from under center in college.

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.
