Chunk plays are 20 plus. 

About deep balls. If I am at the 20 facing the end zone. I’m in the Red Zone. Throwing to the goal line makes it a deep ball? 

So 20 is deep. And 40 is deep. And 50 is deep.  It doesn’t really synch up to my way of looking at things. 20 has to be medium to me.  

 

A deep pass is usually at least 20 yards according to PFF. I mean you are getting into a quarter of the entire field past that. This isn’t including YAC obviously. 

A deep pass by PFF standards is any pass that is targeted and travels at least 20 yards in the air, past the line of scrimmage.

I would never use that standard. Don’t care what they say. PFF, pfff..  This is sort of like what is left or right of center politically, the goal posts shift according to the goals of the person setting the boundary lines. 

I really can’t agree to this 20 yard standard because it completely devalues a true deep ball. 40 inthe air, or in PJ’s case, was it 63? It was crazy. Ansd it wouyld only rate ‘the same as a 20 yard throw. That just doesn’t work for me and it has absolutely nothing to do with Bryce Young. Really, it doesn’t. Which, I get that a Young fan would be fine calling 20 yards downfield ‘deep’ but I don’t think the world would make that a standard just for him. So I am not saying that is the reason.

I think ‘chunk plays’ serves to fill the gap and reward thew 20 yard type of stuff.

According to PFF Brock Purdy was the best deep ball thrower last season.

NFL typically considers anything 20 plus in the air past the LOS a deep pass. You have to think these QBs are 5 plus yards behind the LOS on most plays so the ball is typically traveling over a quarter of the field in the air before any YAC happens. Here is the NFL trying to quantify it

One a side note people talking about Young’s 55 yard pass making Johnson slow down need to realize some HOF QBs max out in the 60s and that’s without accuracy/timing. 

In the 20 minute mark they do a deep throw challenge with the QBs trying to keep their passes in bound and they have running starts. Manning was 69 and 65 maxed out. Expecting these 50 yards passes like it’s something normal is a bit extreme (I know you weren’t the one doing it).

Yeah okay. I need better than lumping a 20 yard throw in with a 50 yard dime. For instance.

There is a difference, okay? It can be rather large.

NFL, PFF, DGAF, ESPN, none of them ask me but they should because they have it wrong.

Lol I get it. I think a 50 dime is just a freaking highlight play. It’s like it’s own thing. I mean that’s launching the ball half of the field on the money.

And there are people who can do that. Like one of 5 or something. And at 40 the odds are better. 

I am not asking for that but at the same time don’t want to settle for that ‘20 yards is a deep ball’ thing.  

good night

The time needed, scheme needed, and WR needed for a 50 yard pass to be a normal thing is pretty rare. I think sometimes they just launch it up and the elite WR like Hill track it down. It’s an amazing thing no doubt but definitely not a typical deep ball. Think of a deep pass as a 3 pointer and a 50 yard pass as a Curry/Lillard logo 3 pointer.

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
