Another Tua piece...

Always cringe when people associate passing aggressivity with yards per attempt... Here's a pro writer for NFL.com looking the wrong way...
Part of that maneuvering is knowing he played too conservatively last year. Tua averaged just 6.3 yards per attempt, third from the bottom among qualifying QBs

You're right its not the best way to judge aggression but it is a way to judge how successful you are with that aggression.

A low average means you aren't hitting many of the shots you're taking. That isn't all Tua either, its the passing offense as a whole.

Either way that is a number you want to see go up this year.

So are we saying Tua has to fully mature this year? Josh for the bills looked better last year, his 3rd. Do our QB get the same courtesy?

Those of us who realize 90+% of the time, even the great ones need some time to get acclimated to the NFL, are giving him all the benefit of the doubt. Others, not so much.

Have you ever went back and looked at the Bills forums during Allen's first year? Friggin' soup sandwich.

Good article, although many will not accept it as reality, this is the year Tua sinks, or swims with fish :)

A bit dramatic.

More than likely Tua will just need to show progression which should be easy given the context.

If an opportunity arises in the off-season they feel is too good to pass up, they’ll pull the trigger. Otherwise Flo will continue to develop Tua.

YPA is just a measure of how efficient a passer/passing offense is... nothing to do with how aggressive they are downfield. Drew Lock is top 5 in the NFL in intended air yards and only has a 6.6 YPA. Drew Brees was bottom of the league in IAY but still managed a decent 7.5 YPA, seems counter intuitive, how the hell does a QB throw for 6.3 air yards on average and ends up with a 7.5 YPA... Comp% + YAC, thats how.

So yeah, there's absolutely no way to tell if the YPA figure is related in any way to downfield aggressivity without looking else where.

Lol you know the standards. Tua was supposed to be fully matured and as good as Rogers and Mahommes and everyone else day 1.

If not then he’s a complete bust. Also we’re not going to mention those previously mention QBs sat and learned and weren’t coming of serious injury
