What good is a rocket if you don’t know where it’s going. Brady has half of the arm strength and I guarantee his stats on this are far superior. How many attempts of over 30 yards does Brady have the last two seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have Josh's talent and all I am saying is are your ready not to be in the playoffs if Josh is your only choice? This is super dramatic. Deep balls are fun, but the don't make or break an offense. I am way more upset about the execution errors; specifically, dropped balls. If we didn't have so many, most of our offensive troubles go away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r00tabaga Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I think he honestly put too much air under it. He has a strong enough arm to lower the trajectory and make it more of an accurate play. He wasn't very good with the Deep ball in college as some here have noted so maybe he can have that be a point of emphasis in the offseason cuz I'm afraid it's too late to work on that now.

But one of the reasons he terrified me as a draft pick was we are hoping a guy who never really was dominating consistently in the Mountain West would be a better player in the nfl. mahomes, Watson, Jackson were dominant college players. While being good in college doesn’t prove anything, not being great should worry fans more. But he has plenty of season left to show it so fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m interested in the comparative number of attempts of over 30 air yards from other QBs. I’d guess Brady is very low while others, like Mahomes and Watson are up there with Allen. There is no agenda in my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a meaningless stat unless you compare to league averages. I'm guessing there are QB's who haven't thrown a pass that's travelled 30 yards in the air over the last two years. Maybe it also means that we shouldn't be trying to throw passes that travel 30 yards in the air. Also, does this include Hail Marys? What is the league average on completing Hail Marys?

I was hoping there was a single source for league wide stats in this area. 36 is a lot of attempts of over 30 air yards, but I’m not surprised as Allen led the league in air yards per attempt last season. I’m guessing it’s way down this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
