So apparently, Dalton threw a lot more over the middle but things did not go well. Goff is a machine over the middle.

My understanding of this is what happens when a QB faces a defense that effectively covers targets.

Probably an indication of being a one read guy if you're a lot more to the right. Not a good look for Lawrence.

How would anyone know who the first read is supposed to be?

By watching the tape and watching the QB and seeing where he looks first?

Seems kinda obvious on that one, no?  lol

And yes, I know sometimes QB's will look off a DB, but in general, you can tell who the first read was when watching the tape post game.

For those wondering, top left quadrant is where you want to be. Bryce cooked 

How often QBs throw to tight windows and their throw open rate on those tight window throws.

So according to this chart, Dak Prescott's stats are inflated because his targets are always open and yet he still has the least percent of throwing them open? yeah, overrated

I am confused is this telling me mahomes and jackson are bad?

The explanation for that chart is below. I would always take data with a grain of salt but the implication is that guys like Mahomes and Jackson throw to tight windows less often and aren't as good actually throwing it away from coverage to give their guy a better shot.

Top left quadrant is not where you want your QB. This means they're not seeing the open receivers and throwing blindly to a point that is double or triple covered. Threading the needle is not what you want a QB to do regularly at this level. It's high risk and low reward as it will hurt a receivers YAC and increase the chance of interceptions/tip drills. This was Mac Jones territory last year. You won't see Mahomes, Jackson, and Goff in that quadrant.

Or maybe, just maybe, we have receivers who can't get open?

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
