Matt Moore one of the best throwing over 20 yards

from Pat Yasinskas

"Moore’s having great success throwing the deep ball. Moore has the NFL’s best passer rating on throws of longer than 20 yards with a minimum of 10 attempts. On that type of throw, Moore has completed seven of 17 passes for 246 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 128.1 passer rating..."

Delhomme only had a 34.1 passer rating on throws longer than 20 yards.

Moore also is leading the NFL in passer rating on throws between the numbers with a 123.0 rating. That's better than New Orleans' Drew Brees, who is second in the league in that category, with a 115.8 rating. Before Delhomme went down for the season with an injury, he had a 61.4 rating on passes between the numbers.

But, this is meaningless...:rolleyes:

Can't be, according to local experts he has no arm strength.

Here's another interesting stat. Out of the QBs in the NFL this year, Matt Moore has the highest percentage of his passing attempts going for 40+ yards. Here's the breakdown:

% of Passing attempts completed for 40+ yards

  • Matt Moore - 5.2%
  • Donovan McNabb - 4.2%
  • Aaron Rodgers - 3.1%
  • Tony Romo - 3.1%
  • Matt Shaub - 2.8%
  • Ben Roethlisberger - 2.7%
  • Eli Manning - 2.5%
  • Philip Rivers - 2.5%

This suggests that we may have the most explosive passer in the NFL. How much of that you can credit to Steve Smith is up to you, but Matt Moore is definitely proving to be a great downfield passer.

Seven completions....amazing! I can throw a ball 20 yards and I'm not an NFL QB. Apparently Pat never took a statistics class or he'd know that stats are highly skewed in small sample sizes (10 attempts sample).

Yes, he does have a relatively weak arm or we'd be talking about passes over 40 yards.

I'm not sure what is going on with the Moore-crush here--whether people hate Jake that much or they think this guy is a legit starter.

I know I'm going to called a hater, that's fine, at least I'm not the one man-crushing all over Moore.

    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
    • This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
