JTB":2e07cixj said:There were plenty of plays where Russ would not throw it to guys in the middle of the field and instead went deep. This isn't a narrative, it's the truth. The Athletic just had an in depth article about it.....
Not that I care much anymore but it's undeniable that his play the last couple of years was not at the level to justify 50 M a year. And I'm a big RW fan
I saw the Atlantic thing and the first question I had was what was the down and distance. does no good to throw it 5 yards when we need 10.
As I said and posted in another thread the heat map shows we don't run many routes to the middle. In that same thread, I showed the stats for several Qbs to include Mahomes, and Rodgers Wilson's percentage of throws to the middle were on par with them. His completion % was also as high as theirs.
That said doe snot that means he hit every short pass that was there? No, no QB does. But it also doe snot mean he doe snot pass there. It just means he doe sit at the same rate as most of the top QBs.
