Haven't seen a ton of their games but I know they wanted to move to a more traditional offense this year.
my udnerstanding is that they tried to be more traditional with their passing attack and it wasn't working, so they resorted to what he does best - rushing the ball. he's never been all that impressive of a passer. His stats in his MVP year were really good but it was mainly cause teams were so worrieda bout his running ability that they were hesitant in their reads and that created massive passing lanes. He's slowly become worse as the years have gone on, his injuries too.
similar to how hurts is hurting right now and they're hesitant to rush with him like they want to, which is hampering his ability to pass because he isn't a very good pocket qb.
He's having one of his best passing years.
Well he's one of the highest paid QBs ever, so he should. It's still not all that impressive to me. Idk what his YPA.YPC are though, if it's low - then his completion % isn't all that impressive. (Similar to how Geno smith leading the league last year wasn't all that impressive because of how he did it).
Lamar is an exceptional football player, he's a good qb. I just think his unbelievable mobility is what makes him so hard to defend. I don't think he's a bad passer, just don't think he's great at it either.
like SmokeyJoe said - his weapons aren't that great though. I wouldn't say they're bad but losing that TE was a huge loss for him. From the stats I've seen - they're a top rushing team and really good defense. I'm curious to see how they do against us, we are by far the best team they'll play this year.
Either they're forreal or products of a favorable schedule. I suspect they'll be tough because of how well coached they are.
Lamar has almost identical pass attempts to Purdy, but only 13 TD's, 2 yards less per attempt, and about 20 points lower on passer rating and QBR. And yes Andrews is out for the year. Zay Flowers is an explosive rookie WR but that's about all they have for weapons. I'm guessing we'll be a 6-8 point favorite at home.
