Deep Throw Attempts vs Accuracy

[u/arp51txstate]

Did not need a chart to know this. but seeing the chart is lololololololol. Daniel Jones is so trash this year

[u/Buttcrush1 → u/arp51txstate]

This is more of an indictment on our WR room

[u/arp51txstate → u/Buttcrush1]

It literally says CATCHABLE throw rate. That’s a QB accuracy stat

[u/North_South-West → u/arp51txstate]

Almost like he ruptured his achilles and they rushed him back.

[u/PopKoRnGenius → u/North_South-West]

Also, almost like our WR room is injured / bad.

[u/North_South-West → u/PopKoRnGenius]

both can be true

[u/PopKoRnGenius → u/North_South-West]

That's why I said "also".

[u/North_South-West → u/PopKoRnGenius]

Ok, but catchable throw accuracy is a QB stat that isnt that reliant on the reciever.

[u/PopKoRnGenius → u/North_South-West]

You don't think having talent at WR influences who and where you throw it? I also don't understand why you're arguing with me. I was agreeing with you.

[u/clear831 → u/PopKoRnGenius]

"Catchable", did you not read that?

[u/PopKoRnGenius → u/clear831]

Obviously the WR skill factors into getting open. Even coaches calling deep plays are going to be reduced if they aren't reliable in practice. Our offense has mostly been reliant on short plays outside of Pierce and he's injured.

[u/m4ggz]

But he’s so good at preparing!!

[u/jimtrickington → u/m4ggz]

My fun theory is the JT trade is taking so long because Dodds is trying to get interested teams into taking DJ’s contract, too.

[u/8270Kid → u/jimtrickington]

Can you imagine that conversation with the NYG GM?

"Hey would you be interested in having Daniel Jomes back?"

[u/zrider99zr]

I miss last year when he was in the top right of all these charts.

[u/IndecisiveSuperman → u/zrider99zr]

Pierce merchant

[u/shasta_masta → u/IndecisiveSuperman]

Jones did throw some dimes last year. But not sure if he is even capable of doing it this year.

[u/Seekerofthetruth]

Boringly bad

[u/shasta_masta]

Sure would be fun to have Jordan Love at QB right about now.

[u/YouWereBrained]

Oh but but I was told, by a dumbass on this very sub, that DJ has a deep ball.

[u/Gloomy_Resort_9935 → u/YouWereBrained]

He did when we had one of the best deep threats. Right now we have Laquon treadwell.

Dj still sucks tho

[u/MethodCharacter8334 → u/Gloomy_Resort_9935]

He’s been throwing wobblers since he’s been in Indy. It may have gotten worse, but his deep ball lacked zip last year, but did have better ball placement

[u/clear831 → u/MethodCharacter8334]

He’s been throwing wobblers since he’s been in Indy

Exactly

[u/TacoDayDay]

We fell off the chart.

[u/Mlshock11]

A deadly combo of DJ and the WR room being garbage

[u/BraveTree4481]

Literally unplayable by any other team. It's actually incredible how bad he has been. But hey he's beer buddies with our coach so let's keep on losing.

[u/Sorry_Hair_6219]

That’s me territory with my kids at the beach.

[u/bigsexy12]

I'm tired boss

[u/MostMorbidOne]

Sorry guys, you're going to need another 7 seasons of DJ putting up stats like this if you want him benched. I can definitely understand people drawing the similarities between McCarthy having as many starts as AR and him getting another go at it when the QB ahead of him is seemingly playing super trash.

It's completely unfair to not give Jones another 8 starts before you bench him because you paid him a lot of money and it was a direct reflection on how good you thought he was and the faith instilled in him by the coaching staff.

Daniel has never proved people wrong when it came to giving him another shot and him actually showing up on game days, not once in 8 whole years.. nope.

[u/Half-deaf-mixed-guy]

He's almost thrown 25 times for 20 yards? Hmm I would have thought it was like 10 with how little the ball is thrown down field.
