Kalen King, now I remember why that name sounds familiar. I drafted him in Madden 24.

Nice, hopefully that is the last of having to watch Bartholomew be complete ass

Deejay Dallas is a great signing, veteran return man.

Cool.  Another Bryce can't throw deep derailment.  

Pushing the ball down field is not an issue.  Throw that on the trash heap with all the other things Bryce has already proven wrong.

Now that's an addition I could get behind.

I mean, those numbers aren't wiping away the issue. 

30th ranked pass O

32nd 40+ yard pass plays

26th 20+ yard pass plays

31st yards per pass attempt

The website's job is too sell excitement entering season.  Out of the nine stats, only one really zeros in on getting downfield and that is the efficiency aspect.  So it's not a # about when you do it or how much you do it.....it's just rating efficiency when you happen to do it (which isn't a lot for Bryce in a passing tree scheme that generally requires it). 

because if Bryce did go downfield with the efficiency rating suggested and they weren't limited in volume....the passing stats above would be flipped on their head and we wouldn't be bottom of the NFL there.

they claim it is a scheme issue. 

but they are claiming a scheme issue for a guy has had a lot of recent off field issues.  Commissioners exempt list last year for some cocaine, assault, etc   Think he got off on all of it but the coke.

No clue, Pats fans are confused. Maybe Vrabel doesn't like him or something came up. He had an assault and cocaine possession accusation last fall but that was dropped before the season was even over.

I see the article he linked referenced the big time throw metric. Never seen that used so often before Bryce Young. That data would have you believe Bryce is a better big time thrower than Josh Allen Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Sound a bit far fetched? I can buy into optimism but anyone that actually believes that right now before Bryce embarks on a key prove it season is not existing within reality. I'd love to see it though. Time will tell.
