Bryce is elite at deep throws

Most of Bryce's most impressive deep passes are under similar circumstances where someone could say it was more of a defensive breakdown if that is your measuring stick now.

The fact that you had to go back too last season to find a defensive breakdown on a Bryce deep throw tells that’s a lie.

He's not elite because he barely attempts them. Its why we lost to the Saints twice. They were daring us to throw and he didn't want to. Wake me up when he actually beats defenses daring him to throw

Hey you. Stfu

JMO, but a deep ball passing threat has to be able to make that throw anytime, from anywhere on the field. Bryce has been able to make some deep passes, we've seen it. He's dropped some beauties. I still don't consider him a premier deep ball threat because he can't make that throw from everywhere. He's not stepping up into a crowded pocket and making a deep throw. To be elite, that throw can't only come from certain spots and under certain conditions.

I’m not really buying that. He’s made some really accurate deep throws lately but he’s not what I consider a “deep ball” kind of guy. It doesn’t feel like the deep ball is a threat anywhere on the field. 

I watched him warm up last Sunday, anything over 20 yards was floated

Just to clarify bad info. 

he is not 8th most in attempts.  There is only 1 starting QB in the NFL he throws deep attempts at a higher rate than. 

8th in big time throws is not a numbers that represents deep shot attempts.  Big time throws is a made up PFF stat that includes things like tight coverage on a 5 yard route to the sideline

Well, The OP actually provided the stats.  While inknow how people are about PFF, he at least provided them in his post. 

Where are the stats that you are speaking of?

You could say the same thing about most QB's. The only time you couldn't is when it was a "big time throw"

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Just to be clear. I've been watching football for many years with many different QB's here and on other teams. I've never before seen such a heavy emphasis on this "big time throw" metric before. And I've seen ultimately mediocre QB's make some really nice throws in a Panthers uniform.

Kinda reminiscent of the S2 test pre draft.

I love football.   I've watched my entire life.  

Watched a lot of prolific passes since the 80's. 

The number I've seen with what I would consider, cannons,  that were also what I would consider accurate enough to be considered elite in my book, are few and far between.  In fact,  the most accurate deep ball throwers didn't have cannons.  

The QB's that have won the most superbowls in the history of the game, dont have cannons either.  The GOAT, regardless whether you consider that Brady or Montana, didn't have a cannon at all.  Their deep throws we're much more accurate though. 

Hell of a perception the masses have been painting on the huddle, since Young has been drafted, which doesn't jive with the history of the game.
