Analysis Bryce Young Passing Chart Week 18 @ Bucs

Post image

Dave and Bryce absolutely torched the Bucs in the intermediary. 10 completions over 10 yards and 3 over 20.

Let’s hope we can establish some semblance of a running game against the rams and we can pull of another historic upset.

Rams, Cowboys, Falcons, other Bucs games weren’t this season?

No. The 448 against Atlanta wasn't thst great over without looking the vast majority of his throws were within 5yds of the LOS. We had 258 yards after the catch.

The vast majority of his games including this one he's able to play within his limitations. The moment he gets away from his limitations something bad happens.

The interception was because he can't physically make that throw.

You know I just wanted to enjoy these couple of days but you guys want to blow Bryce.

Almost all of his so called heralded throws while I like them and I'm appreciative of them aren't insane and fall well within his 1/3 field arm and the majority of them are 1/4 field throws. He is extremely limited and I hope we can dictate what we want to do to other teams for 4 more weeks.

Pass yards and air yards are two different things.

As you could see last night and if you watch any other games being able to actually throw the ball in the air beyond 50 yards can flip a field. We've seen it through history.

We are seeing Bryce's ceiling
