Bryce Young's first nine games vs the last nine games: Historically awful regression

Recommended Posts

First 9 games of his career:

198/319 (62.1%), 1,683 passing yards (187 per game), 9 passing TDs, 8 INTs

Last 9 games of his career:

148/264 (56.1%), 1,439 passing yards (160 per game), 2 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD, 5 INTs

But it's actually even worse than this. If you remove the Green Bay game - a statistical outlier - this is what you get:

125/228 (54.8%), 1,127 passing yards (141 per game), 0 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD, 5 INTs

That's right. In the last nine games, Bryce Young hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in eight of them. In fact, nearly 50% of Bryce's 11 touchdowns have come in two games: three against the Lions in week 5 (two of which were in garbage time), and two against the Packers in week 16.

This is just unfathomably bad.

If this was any other QB not taken 1st overall, they'd already be benched or cut. There's no excuse for it. This isn't about winning. It's about proving someone was right. 

If he wasn’t the first overall pick, he wouldn’t have won the QB competition because he would have had to play all the time Plummer did and it would have been obvious he’s not the guy.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
