Bryce Young's average stats over a whole season would be...

[TN05]

Current Bryce Young stats:

• Attempts: 269
• Completions: 166
• Yards: 1,514
• Touchdowns: 11
• Interceptions: 7

Over a full 17-game season, this comes out to:

• Attempts: 468
• Completions: 313
• Yards: 2,859 (168 yards per game)
• Touchdowns: 21
• Interceptions: 13

In terms of yardage, this would rank as the 19th-best total in team history, only slightly ahead of 2006 Jake Delhomme (2,805), who missed 3 games. It would even rank behind 2023 Bryce Young, who threw for 2,877 yards in only 16 games.

The only quarterbacks who started a majority of a season in team history with worse passing numbers are:

• Kerry Collins (163 yards per game - 201 if you exclude a game he missed most of due to injury)
• Jimmy Clausen (145 yards per game over 10 starts)

This is statistically on pace to be Bryce's worst season ever. It's year 3. We have two good running backs, weapons at skill positions, and an offensive line that works. Zero sign of progress from a statistical perspective other than Bryce having a lot of game-winning drives. But guess who also had that? The Golden Calf of Bristol, and once the Broncos cut him they won a Super Bowl within a few years.

I said it in the game thread, but Jameis would be putting up MVP numbers with this cast.

Where would this rank if spread out to only a 16 game season?

Because remember, this is only the 5th season of having 17 games, so even with an extra game over 26 of our seasons in franchise history and it still only would rank 19th best (and again, that's ignoring how some players didn't play 16 games in those other seasons like you said)

If Jameis was our QB this year for 17 games, T-Mac would have won OROY, there is no question in my mind about that.

The game winning drive thing -- If nearly all of his wins have to be game winning because we can never win by more than a score, that's not clutch.  That's just playing the odds.  

He's 8-9 in one score games, those 8's final drives were classified as GW.  But when you compare to the games when he had the same amount opportunity presented, it's a sub-500 metric.

Probably could insert 10 or 15 different names we could have picked up this offseason and still say the same thing.
