Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

We will disagree on the hiding part. Protecting from turnovers is how I saw it but not worth a million words.  
I thought the receivers were given better balls than normal, as a result of the QB being sharper with his throws.  
At the same time when you have games with 11 completions they aren’t getting a lot of chances compared to 31 or whatever it was.  

the WR/TEs overperformed against a bad team.  Especially after the half. 

I mean, if Bryce Young never came out after halftime, everyone would basically be ready to bench him for good.  That wasn't a "confident" guy.  First half was basically the textbook Bryce game.  Scripted opening drive was good and a bunch of nothing. 

Bryce didn't throw any more deep balls than the week before vs the Saints.  What changed this game is our WRs just got open and did a lot with the ball in their hands vs a bad team in the 2nd half. 

I mean, props to Bryce on wanting to stay in and rebounding some in this game.  But largely the narrative is a random half of football is argued we should think something different now about him.  Which makes no sense 2.5+ years into what is a very consistent QB in terms of what he is and isn't overall.

Passing chart had 3 over 20 I think. The Legette TD and another completion and an incompletion. All over 20 yards.  An incompletion at 19 or maybe 20 yards. So you could technically probably say 4 throws 20 or more.  
 

That seems high to me compared to the norm. 45 throws and 10 YPA are both way high.

He averaged 2.2 going into Atlanta.  3 shot attempts is the most consistent number that pops on his pass charts.  5 games w/ 3 attempts.  His high was Miami with 4.

Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

I used to think that stat meant something special. Turns out, a fraction of the time… a GWD is really some special thing  

It is about like when people say a fraction of this or that, but they actually mean a small fraction. 1/1 is technically a fraction. Handing off one time at 14.58 in the 4th quarter, then calling the kicker in… is technically a GWD. Woot. Call the HOF committee.

And like I already showed, only two games of of 10 here fall into that. The numbers are likely similar to other QBs.

I am not making it Bryce specific. Haven’t been for a while now, once I understood the nuance of it.
In fact the only time I have mentioned it in relation to Bryce this time around that I recall, is to show that another QB could get the same credit for that handoff scenario as Bryce did for his actual last possession on Sunday. Which is unfair. 

My point is it is a shitty indicator in general.

Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

 

Except in most of those games he doesn’t have that type of stat line.

In a majority of the games if you take out the scripted drive - which the first few weeks didn’t amount to much at all half the time, there wasn’t a lot of meat on the bone. 
Even Sunday he had 130 and a TD in the first half, in his probably best game ever. 
His bad games were bad. 
This week will really be interesting. If he plays.

Well in the past they didn’t open the playbook. I’ve been saying they should stop being conservative and let Bryce sling it. No coincidence his yardage went up.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
