Deep ball accuracy. Josh Allen #1

Does anyone know if this calcuation takes YAC into account?  A 5 yard screen pass that the guy takes 80 yards to the house doesn't demonstrate deep ball accuracy and could skew the stats.  That said, the Bills' YAC is one of the lowest in the league (if not the lowest), so if YAC isn't taken into account, these stats are even MORE impressive for Allen.

Throws 21+ yards past the LOS.

Read it.  It's a study of throws that meet a minimum air yards distance, so no, there are no 5-yard screen passes in this data.

 

One amazing thing is that Allen has the highest completion percentage, the highest accurate throw percentage, and the highest number of accurate throws that were incomplete (I'd guess some of those were throwing into double coverage).  It looks like he was the best deep thrower by far, with only Stafford and maybe Burrow at least within range.  

 

Can't wait to see what it will be like when Allen gets good.

Kind of feels like Allen breaks this stat, like he's gotten better dropping it in a bucket but still has room to grow there, but he throws frozen ropes at such a long distance that he throws the whole thing off.

So crazy that a couple years ago we considered this one of his weaknesses. Josh Allen is a man on a mission to not just improve his weaknesses but to turn them into strengths, and even become the BEST at them.

 

Honestly, I've never seen anything like it. He is supremely gifted.
