I'm not sure how they calculate these though. How do you get a 46% from 14 passes.
At worst, he had 5 (36%) uncatchable throws. You could maybe argue 6 (43%), but I think the last incompletion on the slant to Benjamin was catchable.
1 - drop by Aiyuk
2 - TD to Sherfield
3 - completed short pass to Gallman
4 - completed End zone throw to Woerner
5 - Drop by Cracraft
6 - completed out route to Cracraft
7 - Drop by James
8 - overthrow to James
9 - near pick to Woerner
10 - overthrow to Woerner
11 - completed dump off to Sermon
12 - near pick
13 - incomplete sideline to Benjamin
14 - incomplete slant to Benjamin
If you ask Chris Simms he puts the Aiyuk drop and others on Lance...
How that dude gets so much respect I don't understand. Guess because he says things with such conviction that it comes off to some who didn't watch things as truth?
Wilson didn't have any hurry up offense snaps. That's when rookie's are at their worst because they have to process information that much faster. Fields had a few snaps but Dolphins played him completely differently than the Chiefs played us. Chiefs are an attacking defense even in those situations and one of the near picks Lance threw(Crock broke it down very well) they baited the hell out of him by giving him a man look on that side before the DB released into zone and almost picked him. Dolphins basically played prevent, rushed 2-3 and allowed him to take all the underneath stuff he wanted with 0 pressure.
I don't remember Jones' game at this point but he did what you'd expect for the most part.
Also that stat shows him to be the top guy at accurate throws as well. We all knew there would be inconsistency. It was his first game vs a team who is a SB favorite and as a result becomes pretty deep...hell Baker is a former first round pick, playing with their 2s/3s. And I'm pretty sure I saw Juan Thornhill out there with the backups as well.
No reason for people to panic. This was all expected and personally I'd rather have Lance going through some adversity vs thinking "This NFL thing is pretty easy"
