No. They are accurate. It’s not a QB stat. It’s an O line stat. It includes pressures of any kind against a drop back from any player on the team.

That’s why I said, “the panthers are ….stat” instead of “Bryce young is pressured etc”.

Edit: I should’ve said pressures on drop back instead of “QB pressures”.

I’ll add to this:

Carolina panthers via PFF

27th in Pass Blocking 32nd in QB pressures allowed 26th in Receiver efficiency - This includes separation and route running. 27th in Rushing 27th in Rush Blocking 

All of this leads to The QB struggles.

For perspective, Houston via PFF: 16th in Pass blocking 17th in pressures allowed 15th in sacks allowed 3rd in receiver efficiency.

I’m not saying our coaching staff is the solution but is absolutely too soon to make a call one way or the other.

However, I do believe we win the first 3 games if Thomas Brown was calling plays. I appreciate the shift to him mid season.

In two games with him as OC, we move the ball compared to constant punts. I’ll take that as “Progress”. This team does play better than the Rhule teams with all the talent.

Aside from that, our offensive players are:

29th in pass blocking 27th in run blocking 27th in receiver separation 27th in overall receiver efficiency 26th in rushing efficiency And all that equals 28th in passing efficiency.

A lot of this is injuries and miles sanders being a complete flop and a rookie qb who is learning with no help.

I’m not sure anyone, anywhere in the league could do anything positive with this.

We would be having the exact same conversation if we took Stroud over young. Young is in an un-winnable situation. I feel for the guy.

With all of that being said, this offseason will dictate what success Young, and the staff can have. It all starts up front. If Fitterer or someone new can build an appropriate line, the running game will follow, pass protection will be easier, Young can grow.

Note, I do think we can win 5 games this year. But we will see.

I always felt this way about Ricky Proehl. Just a guy that would take a hit over the middle.
