A historical perspective on just how statistically bad Bryce Young as a passer this season.

[SCO96]

1977 was a landmark year in NFL History. Defenses were so dominant that season that the league had to change rules to limit their effectiveness. Drew Pearson led the league in receiving yards and he didn't even crack 900 yds in a 14 game season (870). The passing yards leader was Joe Ferguson who finished the season with 2,803 yards. He averaged 200 yds game. Pass blocking and pass coverage were relaxed in 78' in order to favor passing game. This marked the end of "dead ball era". DB's were no longer allowed to contact a receiver more than 5 yards downfield after the institution of the "Mel Blount Rule"

1977 Average yards passing per game (team):  141.9

1977 Yards per attempt: 5.9

This season Bryce is averaging 154.0 yds/game and 5.7 yds/attempt in his 9 starts. 

Let's put this into perspective. The type of numbers Bryce is putting up in 2025 were deemed so unacceptable in 1977 (48 years ago) by the NFL rules committee that they actually changed the rules to increase passing efficiency.

Every rule favors the offense now, and Young is passing at a clip that would make him an average QB during the Disco era.

He's cracked 200 yards one time this season (328 yds in week 2 against the Cardinals in a loss)

Tyler Shough passed for 282 yards in 2nd career start. Bryce has only passed for 240 yards in his LAST 2 STARTS COMBINED.

Bryce Young's has passed for 364 yards in his last 3 games.  That's only 82 yards more than Shough had in week 10 against Carolina. 

I think in this case the the numbers/statistics tell the story of what is really hampering the Carolina Panthers. 

PS--Sorry for the typo in the Topic line.

We know, he’s dogsh*t. He can’t make NFL throws past 10 yards consistently

He's only passed more than 250 yards 5 times. FIVE in almost 40 starts

[Bear Hands]

And we're talking 250 yards in today's NFL.  

[Bear Hands]

Also the YPA has plummeted the past few weeks to that mentioned 5.7 YPA.  He's back to the all-time historic lows.  Any even moderately respectable struggling rookie should be above 6.0.  It's insanity.

He can't move the ball.  Getting stuff batted, can't see around the line, can't set and step up in the pocket.  Basic f*cking fundamentals.  Still.  Since day 1, throughout year 2, it's year 3.  He's the same guy he's been even since Bama.  Wayyyyy too many stalled drives.  Can't do anything.  No vision.  Terrible decision making.

Can't extend with his legs (only looks good relaitve to 38 year old over the hill QBs) 

Can't lead guys on even intermediate throws most of the time.

And this kid ain't growing.  

And when he does put some touch on a pass beyond 10, are we really supposed to just gaze in awe?  It's f*cking terrible.  Always has been.  It has been mind numbingly clear we've won despite him.  He's done a few minor things in clutch time any middling QB could eventually do once or twice.  

My patience is over.  I was off the train, but I'm now off the reservation.

Sean Glennon/Kyle Orton territory with how bad his advanced metrics are.  It's atrocious.

I counted 12 games and 10 we lost so he was playing from behind and got garbage stars in most of them

Take Justin Fields. Eliminate his ability to run. Make him smaller. Boom Bryce Young.

7 more games. 7 more games and he will be gone. Believe.

Fields is a guy that actually has a lower percentage of sub 200 passing yard games.

Yeah, I think those two are on a tier all of their own. Not sure how you can win games with either. Bears moved on and are better off for it. Our turn next.
