ESPN Analytics: Bryce Young 431 of 431 QBs since 2011 in yards per dropback

I mean yeah, he's averaging like 5 yards per attempt. That would've been terrible 20-30 years ago let alone in the modern NFL where all rules favor offense and particularly passing. Sure part of that is the offense and lack of weapons/protection, but a lot of it is still Bryce and his inability to threaten downfield. Plenty of other QBs throughout the years have done better with just as bad of a supporting cast and coaching.

Bryce Young's YPA is the second lowest in recorded history.  1st was Jawalrus' final season at 5.23 in 2009.  Derek Carr had a 5.46 in 2014.  Bryce is currently at 5.40.

It's bad.  It's also because of the personnel around him, but it's damn bad.

Wow. A team that is 1-10 happens to be statistically bad. Great insight. 

A few points to consider. 

Firstly, this isn't statistically bad, this is historically bad.  Bad stats can happen.  But seriously, it takes a lot to end up at the bottom of a list of 431 names.  Think about some of the names on that list.  Tajh Boyd.  Bryce Petty.  Nathan Peterman.  These are bad, bad players . . . and BY is at the bottom.  That's scary.

Secondly, he's going to get next season to turn it around.  There is nothing we can do this offseason to fix the QB spot.  If you bring in a guy, Bryce is done.  Now maybe he should be, but I don't believe you can give up on a guy you invested that much in after only one season.  No!  It doesn't look good right now, but he should get that chance.

Finally, we have to be honest.  By the middle of next season, we will know about Bryce.  And if it's a bust, we have to be ready to call it a bust and move on.  Let's not hang on hoping for a miracle.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

I'm pulling for him to succeed, but I'm not gonna pretend it's likely.

I watched that horror show yesterday, and honestly I wasn't sure if it was true about receiver separation and bad protection or because Bryce can't throw deep... but I was wrong, that man is working with absolutely nothing. Not saying he will improve, but I just can't make a judgment on him this year. It's a literal disaster.

We won't know exactly how much of this is Bryce's fault until he's under a new staff and has WRs who can get separation.

Well, we do know that it's somewhere between quite a bit and a lot just from watching the games if we're being honest. The awful footwork. The jump passes. The misses. The bad reads leading to INTs. The constant checks (kill! kill! kill!) into ineffective runs and screens. 

Bryce has been bad, y'all. It's very obvious. Yes, the entire offense is also had and that's not all in Bryce. But Bryce is a big reason why this offense has been atrocious.

    • I turned to the NFL Network and they are playing the Wildcard Game against the Rams I think we gained a lot of respect around the league we hung in there for a while into the 4th Quarter 🙂
    • Does anyone know for sure if the game tonite will be on HBO max?  That is where I watched the last one and only access I currently have- I am in SE NC and no broadcast stations carry the games.😖
    • take a  look around the league at other young Qb's such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted by teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  Bryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history of the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying
