QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

His noodle arm is averaging 7.5 yards per attempt to Bryce’s 5.8

Mac Jones IAY/PA(Intended Air Yards/Pass Attempt) is 7.5

Bryce Young's is 7.7.

So if you want a QB that regularly targets deep passes, Mac Jones is not your guy.

For reference(these stats only exist from 2018 onward) these are some notable other passers in the NFL:

Josh Allen: 8.8

Lamar Jackson: 8.7

Patrick Mahomes: 7.6

Jared Goff: 7.0

CJ Stroud: 8.4

Jayden Daniels: 7.5

Drake Maye: 7.3

Anthony Richardson: 11.2

Sam Howell: 7.5

Jameis Winston: 10.1

Malik Willis is still an unknown, but Jameis (Pick 6) Winston is an interception waiting for a place to happen.  

Winston sets season record for interceptions returned for td's

Willis is really a 3rd string QB at the moment. He is in a place that suits him, behind a young, potentially franchise QB with no pressure on his development timeline. That is exactly not the case here.

Personally, I highly doubt he will ever develop more than being a middling backup but we will see.

Mac Jones is about to be the next Darnold /Mayfield / Jones. Hell, he might even replace the starter on his own team. 

You’re joking right?

What we need is not a guaranteed percentage, it is the capability and willingness to roll deep when the opportunity is there, can be a realistic threat to do that, and thereby keep defenses more honest.
And if/when he sees a guy break open going down the field can adjust his plan and take advantage. 
We don’t see any of that really. Thatks about all I am saying, I rarely express it right.

That metric would be one of the better indicators of what you are describing. I would disagree what we don't need percentage. Hucking the ball deep for low percentage is just basically Anthony Richardson. You see how much they have improved since he was replaced.

Again, I think most are really hyper focusing on a relatively small aspect of Bryce's flaws. His poor mechanics and his lack of being able to make quick reads lead to the overwhelmingly majority of his lack of success/consistency. His arm strength and targets downfield are much smaller aggravating factors to that lack of success.

This is someone ignoring Kyle Shanahan's impact on QB's. Before and after, for that matter.

I think maybe I misinterpreted what the percentage represented because I missed the start of that little thread and it was before I had my coffee. I was responding in the context of a certain percentage of the attempts have to be deep, and I was like well no I don’t think that is required just be willing and able.

Jones has basically looked like Purdy because Jones and Purdy are about the same level of player. The Niners were idiotic to pay Purdy like a franchise QB.
