it's in the title and the tweet, but this is only looking at expected passing situations, not all dropbacks. So think basically when a team is trailing, in 2nd and long, 3rd down, etc.

AND as we have told you for years an elite QB can make the o line look better. Proof is right there. Brock is clearly elevating the O line.

Seeing Miami and their quick throw offense number one shows those numbers also lack some context.

An athletic and tier 1 QB and scheme can absolutely mask a lot. Nobody has ever questioned that.

The issue is, "To what degree?"

IF the goal is to win a SuperBowl, this will cost you in the end just like it did with Mahomes.

You did question that though. Multiple debates with you regarding this.

LOL.

Only the degree. There's been a surge in athletic QB's over the years but very few ever reached a tier 1 level. The good-enough crowd only had Mahomes to pivot too and that proved false too...to a degree. I'm restating that here WITH Brock Purdy + Kyle's scheme.

People quickly forget last year that we lost 3 QBs excluding Trey because that was just a dumb play. I'm pretty sure a better oline would've significantly prevented that.

Nah. Whatever the FO does or doesn't do no matter how years of evidence is clearly the good-enough answer for winning SuperBowls.

Is this how they defend us exclusively because looking at the playaction dropback %, it looks like a majority of the NFL has increased their playaction % over the years.

What are those stats saying? Drop back % of playaction? It could be that Jimmy saw more 8 man boxes so playaction works better in those situations. We know Jimmy targets over the middle a lot so that might explain a little bit of why Brock uses less playaction.

How can he say it will or has cost us in the end when even he himself has stated we lost for a multitude of reasons?
