A guy that has actually played at a high level in the NFL. Not someone who may be a #1 in the future. If he had that safety net in this offense? Look out. I actually feel like the lack of having a "go to" WR is helping Love's development quite a bit. The last thing I want to see from Love is him locking in on a single favorite target. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why the YPA argument holds no water for me. Anyone watching can see he's not just dumping passes off like a checkdown artist. Every stat needs context so spouting them off like Mr. I Hate Quarterbacks is doing is misguided as all hell. Watch the games and judge the stats correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers show Love's depth of target numbers are fine. Once the completion % starts to climb, the ypa will take care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hurt in camp last year. Checks notes, missed 3 games last year. He was hurt in camp this year. Checks notes, missed 3 of 3 games this year. So, he's got 20 games he could have played in his career. He's played in 14. That math work? Rounding up here, but he missed 1/3 of his games so far. And he's young. Show of hands, who feels like he comes back on Thursday? (I do) Show of hands, who feels like once he comes back, he plays in the rest of the games? (I do not) I'll put the over under on how many games he starts and finishes at 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how to get some end zone throws in stats? I'll bet in the red zone or end zone, Doubs leads us in targets. Then let's look at third downs, I feel like when Love "needs it", he's looking at Romeo. For dam good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilltray Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) I'm going to keep mentioning Casey Hayward. First few years he was constantly limited with hamstring problems, but he got past it. Edited September 25, 2023 by spilltray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packer_ESP Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 He's still 8th in ANYA, which I consider a way better stat than YPA since it takes sacks and TDs/INTs into account. I'd also like to add DPI yards into that but I haven't found any site that does so since I'd want to see it for the whole league, not just Love.

Brat&Beer Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Love is 3rd in the NFL in TD passes, 17th in passing yards and 33rd in completion percentage. Eventually those rankings will come closer together. If the completion percentage doesn't come up, the others will go down. Of course, getting his best RB, best WR, and 2 best OL back would probably help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I think it's pretty obvious which one of those is going to come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not giving up on the kid because of the undeniable talent. You love to play the pessimist. While I agree with your post, I am at the point with Watson that while he can be exciting when he’s out there, I am not going to count on him until he shows I can count on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Why are we using completion percentage and not something like NY/A? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Did Watson have hammy issues in college? I don't remember that being the case, but I don't exactly go crazy on the draft research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
