Bryce Young: one of least efficient qbs in the league past first read

[frankw]

Andy Dalton also had a "thumb sprain" last year after those horrific losses to the Bears and Commanders. I put as much stock in this talk from the team surrounding his thumb as I do any other source of propaganda.

How was he able to do 10 pump fakes and hold the ball in all those sacks?? 

 

You grip things with your fifth and fourth finger. It’s why that’s how you have a firm hand grip. Or if you’re deadlifting that’s generally where the strength of the grip comes from. 

when throwing the ball, the thumb acts as a backstop and fulcrum for the rest of the throw. If you can’t guide it you’ll lose accuracy and power. 

like serve a tennis racquet without using your thumb. You wouldn’t be able to get anything on it, and you couldn’t reliably hit the ball anywhere.

Left to right is efficiency per pass past the first read, so yeah obviously Mahomes is far right  

Top to bottom is how often the qb throws past his first read. Fields looks off his first read the most often, while Carson wentz lmao 

another way to read this, top right is spreads the ball around and does well when they do it. 

bottom left is rarely throwing to second or third read, sucking when they try (again, carson)

From what I can tell, Bryce is about league league average on what percentage of the time he throws past his first read, but well below average on how efficient he is. 

Not a great cluster of QBs to be stuck with. Rattler was just benched. 

fields just doesnt know what his first read even is lol

thanks for being honest but thats just not reality, and even if it was the 20th best qb just isnt going to cut it.  But again I appreciate your true thoughts

I mean i respect his honesty.   But it's just not factual based.

I just don’t understand, where and when has he consistently shown top 20 qb play?

Does that mean you think 20 will cut it?

Not at all. Just saying he’s not as bad  as some on here make him out to be. He’s still a starting caliber QB but jury’s out if he should be the face of the franchise after his rookie contract ends. He must  get into top 10 type of performances consistently to justify a second contract and / or bring someone to legitimately compete and push him to be better.

I get it. It's just hard to wrap your mind around that it's THAT bad and Morgan/Tepper didn't see any reason to bring in any QB competition this offseason. 

And that, is a helluva lot more concerning than anything else
