Wouldn’t you rather just have Christian McCaffery, DJ Moore…

This is a media narrative that needs to be killed off.  Purdy doesn't get significantly more YAC than any of the top 10 QB's.  Here's a quick table:

image.png.90e62f2b53b9b0acff8efd08bac963dc.png

Purdy gets 32 fewer yards per game from YAC than Mahomes does . . . and no one is remotely saying Mahomes benefits overly from YAC.  Purdy gets 18 yards per game more than the LEAST YAC - closer to the bottom than the top!

The other thing that then pops off the page is that Purdy has thrown far fewer passes per game than the rest of this crew.  So with fewer attempts and YAC differences largely irrelevant Purdy has put up top 10 yardage numbers.  The only remaining answer is that Purdy throws it farther downfield than these other guys.  Yep, Air Yards per completion checks out.  The only guy who throws it farther is Stroud.

The truth is that Purdy is a top QB this year.  Maybe it doesn't last.  Maybe the situation in SF changes.  Anything can happen.  But credit where credit is due.  The guy has played exceptional football this year as a whole.

Bonus round, because we're the cursed fan base of the Carolina Panthers:

If Stroud had played 16 games this year, his line would be - 4393 yards on 342 completions out of 541 attempts.  Yes, CJ Stroud would be the second leading yardage QB in the league.

Watch the games. Every QB in the modern NFL gets a ton of YAC yards as screens have largely replaced a lot of the outside running game. Where Purdy gets significantly more yardage than other QBs is on the intermediate routes. Shanahan does a great job of scheming up crossing routes that create opportunities for YAC. His scheme is brilliant. I don't see any other offense getting the type of YAC that SF does on their passing beyond the LOS.

I'll take...

Brock Purdy, CMC, Isiah Pacheco, Chris Rodriguez, Adam Thielen, DJ Moore, Parker Washington, Trey Palmer, AT Perry, Andrei Iosivas & Zack Kuntz

... over...

Young, Sanders, Hubbard, Blackshear, Thielen, Mingo, Chark, TMJ, Shenault, Smith-Marsette & Thomas.

The lesson here is a better offensive roster can be built with 6th & 7th round picks over the last 2 years compared to what Fitt has done with a ton of expensive draft capital & trades over the past 3 seasons.

This, I feel, is the ultimate, "I told you so" outcome. I could go back to this time last year and pull hundreds of posts from dozens of posters who were saying the exact same thing:

"We need to do everything possible to get a franchise QB. Darnold won't work. Baker won't work. No more retreads. I want to get off the 6 and 7-win roller coaster."

 

Well, what do y'all know. You monkey pawed that wish. We got off all right. We're looking up through 20 feet of dog poo at 6 wins, and are liable to get worse before we get better.

Mediocre is the launching pad for a good team. Pushing all your chips into the center and going bust helps no one. Embrace mediocrity, meatheads, because it can always be worse!

Meh.

What it really boils down to is we did not need to keep Darnold or Baker. We did not need to trade to 1. We could have kept Moore kept this years first rounder and drafted Levis at 9 or even traded down and still taken him a little later and been better off than we are now.

McCaffrey probably privately requested a trade and he’s in the ideal place for his career. They should NOT have traded DJ Moore, especially when drafting a rookie QB. I said it the day they traded for the #1 overall pick, you need to have solid receivers around a rookie QB. I can’t believe Fitterer still has a job. 

He definitely requested a trade. I remember how the media at the time kept suggesting he go elsewhere and he sounded more open to the idea each time. Then Mama McCaffery showed their hand. 

CMC was the entire offense and we didn't even get a first round pick back, I can't see Rhule doing that willingly.

      Souring on Canales

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I have no strong opinion either way. I mean, for those who are out, do you really expect Tepper to hire anyone better? So far, Canales has probably been his best coaching hire. Granted, that's an extremely low bar to clear but I'm just saying it's not like there's a line of great candidates beating down the door begging to work for Tepper. Going 5-5 with the worst QB play in the league isn't terrible. Now with that said, I expect to start getting the hell beaten out of us now that the Saints have shown what I thought was obvious all along - sell out against the run and stack the box and absolutely force us to have to throw the ball and it basically makes the game unwinnable for a Bryce Young QB'd team.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By amcoolio · Posted

      You're letting your hatred for him cloud your judgement, you can't say with 100% certainty that Bryce can't play anywhere else, especially since everyone here said the same about Darnold and Mayfield and are now backtracking to say "well they had the skills all along"... absolutely nobody was saying that at the time. You are forgetting that the Panthers are currently a poverty franchise that taints everything they touch, it is absolutely in the realm of possibility that Bryce sits for a few years and then looks like Mac Jones does right now. But I agree that it won't happen here, and the Panthers have to move on.

      Official Week 10: Saints @ Panthers Gameday Thread

      That was me. Overall it has tightened up. Kickoffs are good. FGs are good normally. Punting game is good. PR isn’t bad. I didn’t see what happened on the block, who let the guy through. I knew we were putting a couple of new guys out there but thought they we gunner types. Chisena.
