Dude you're all over the place.

Bryce definitely played better than average down the stretch last year. That's what I said. I dont think it's controversial, and I think it's true based both on stats and by actually watching him play.

He was the 6th rated passer by PFF during the last 8 weeks. In no world is that below average

 

sure, the 6th best passer the last 8 weeks of the season.  The problem is when you start shrinking numbers.....averages can get really weird and can present false info/narratives.  You can see that everywhere in life. 

for example, he only broke 60% in 3 of those 8 games.  In only 3 of those 8 games did he surpass the average passing yards per game. 

remove the last 2 games of the season.....and where does he finish in the final 6 or on the season as a whole.    People are most definitely overinflating Bryce's play.   And it's largely because of the drastic change of what he was to what he became.  Which was HUGE.  But in comparison to the rest of the league, above average doesn't pass the eyeball test.  For example, people largely are remembering him playing well vs Philly.  He was BAD that game.  XL just happened to drop a pass he shouldn't have and Philly played horrific all game.  Or looking at the stat sheet and claiming he was great vs AZ.  He wasn't.  He was literally one of 11 that game just not messing it up.
