Answer because it requires a better-than-AVG QB that can take over a game and make magic. those don't grow on trees and even PC knows it. AS to the Bailing himself out yeah whatever you say. By the way, do you have a link to these career 3rd down numbers? I am guessing not because as most of you are saying well this year and last was bad so they all must be bad. So let slook at it
2021 3rd down
59% complt 5.6 ypa not good
2020 complt 72% 7.5 comply HMm that's good
2019 72% 7.3 ypa That's good
2018 62% 7.7 thats still good
2017 58.3 7.1 again not good
2016 62% 5.5 again thats good
2015 70% 9 ypa thats good
2014 66% 7.1 thats good\
2013 64% 7.7 ypa again good
2012 58% 6.3 ypa not good.
So let's see out of 10 years he has had 3 bad seasons on 3rd down so that's 30% bad
To put it in perspective the GOAT Drady out of 22 years he had 2 years he only played 1 game so that leaves 20 out of the 20 he has 7 with below 60% complete that's 35% bad.
So sorry your narrative is not correct
The stat on 3rd down to focus on is conversions as much as it is completions. Not completion percentage. Russ's completion percentage on every down is fantastic. And why is that? Because defenses give us the quick, easy read because we will take it. So yeah, great that its complete... for our punters stats maybe.
But if it's 3rd and 8 and your quick bubble screen that you complete every time you throw it gets 7 yards... you're punting.
Or if you got sacked on 3rd and 3 because you held the ball and didn't hit the open guy and now it's 3rd and 12... but complete a 9 yard pass, you're punting.
It's third down completions and third down conversions, which have been not great for a long time.
And yes I now realize I said 3rd down percentage in my post. That was a mistake and you were right to jump on it. His percentage complete on 3rd is good.
as a side note and perhaps to change the narrative, the last 2 games were they went full-on Waldron they were
59% on 3rd down and 50% on 4th. So if they stay with that style of offense we are good.
You can't be serious.
You say that the Waldron offense was on display for 2.5 games. You, therefore, think you know enough about him to deduce his entire scheme, playcalling tendency, and playbook from 2.5 games?
If you think Waldron was only calling 2.5 games this entire season, you (and we!) know precisely jack $h!t about Waldron. That is absolutely nothing for a sample size.
Have you even once stopped to actually think about how precarious your fleeting, barely-there narrative on this situation is?
No, but given that means PC ball was on display the rest and we sucked I can say better try what was working than what was not. Have you even bothered to think period instead of just coming up with BS to argue about?
Le me make iit simple
14.5 games we suck
2.5 we are awesome
logic says let's try more awecsome.
Oh but thanks for finally admitting we only used the Walrdron offense for 2.,5 games, that also means that you admit PC meddled again.
