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.

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      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???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
