Cam's day

I was over 3600 I think

I had Cam's numbers better than Stafford's rookie year because I respect Cam's game so much and know that he was just so much more polished as a passer combined with the friendly offense and weapons we acquired.

the rest was the funny part.. ;)

or maybe I missed those posts early on..

TRD had the foresight to put himself in a no lose prediction.

He overshot Cam's numbers so that if Cam fell short he could use it to show that Cam was under performing and could fall back on "he did even worse than I thought he would" type response, but if Cam came close to those numbers he could use it to show how smart he was by predicting it.

I know your game TRD ;)

From his site:

# Yards per point often gives a team's offense credit for the quality of the defense, because the defense delivers short field position that leads to more points on less offensive yardage gained.

Isn't this the exact reason most of us are saying YPP isn't an offensive efficiency stat?

You lowballed Cam because you didn't honestly believe in him. I had my doubts but also knew the icon and entertainer he was and knew not even Manning was safe.

    • He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.
    • We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way. 
    • This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
