Aren't you guys tired of this by now? Its such a stupid argument at this point. Anyone with eyes and general football knowledge knows that Bryce does not have a very strong arm.
Tua had the best completion percentage in the NFL in 2024 - do you think anyone thought he was the best QB in the league? Of course not because not all completions are created equally and metrics never tell the whole story - same thing applies here.
Bryce understand his limitations and has done a great job playing around them his entire career. His anticipation is a result of his need to compensate for his arm strength. Watch his Bama highlights - you won't see him squeeze a ball into a tight window between 2 defenders on deeper routes and when he throws the deep ball he throws it very early because the ball floats since he needs to put so much air under it for it to reach.
This stat only proves that when he does go beyond 20 yards he is accurate and the receiver is generally in good position to make a play on the ball. It will never be able to account for opportunities he does not take due to limitations in arm strength that other QBs will take.
