I want you to look closely at the numbers, in particular scroll down the chart that shows incompletion info. Look at the percentage of poorly thrown and passes defenses and compare the 2. What do you suppose that means? To me it means that wr's aren't open and he's had to force throws. Throws that should be caught but there's not enough seperation.

Ya that was a good read. Makes me feel a little better but at the same time, the yards per throw is obviously going to go up bc its not the same West Coast dink and dump offense. A 60.8 completion percentage isn't exactly something brag about. His Passer rating is pretty average though better than it could be, but I stand by what I said. I think he has clearly grown a lot this year but I do not want to settle for an above average QB. I want a 25+ TDs per season guy minimum. I hope he can reach his original 30+ potential some season soon. At least his confidence is on the rise again, that's crucial.

This is a little nitpicky for me personally. I mean to suggest that Bradford is better at Brady at anything right now is tough.

Idk if fisher would ever let this be a 30+ passing Td team that really isn't his MO from teams past

Wasn't saying Bradford is better than Brady but the numbers tell a story that Bradford doesn't have the same weapons. He is very accurate.

The league has evolved since then. Plus he's always had great RBs and SJax is gone after this. And his best QB was McNair who was a duel threat guy too. McNairs highest attempts per season were 492, Sam's was 590 his rookie year, different coach but I'm just saying the QB's are different too. And if you want to talk about this season.. Fisher's FIRST season with Bradford.. he's already on pace for 517 attempts.

Under Fisher.. McNair averaged almost 28 passes per game. Bradford is averaging 32.3 this year.

Sam should be throwing at least 25 a year with what we expected of his potential and should hit 30 a couple times at least.

Agreed here.

I think as Givens and hopefully Quick mature he will scratch those types if numbers
