6th in the league in 40+ yard gains while passing.

Let us not confuse them with passes thrown over 40 yards in the air. He is 3 of 10 on passes thrown over 40 yards.

Most of those 40 yard plays were short passes.

It is like that with almost all of the QBs....
 
Files and dalton are probably the guys that have the most 40 yarders that covered the most air.
 
There is a classic book called "how to lie with statistics" by Darell Huff. A must have for any statistician or anyone who loves to use stats. I love RT and he is getting better every week. But this is a total misrepresentation of his long ball. He entered the jets game LAST in the league in completion percentage on throws over 20 yards. His % has only gotten worse as between the last two games he hit 1 - to Clay yesterday - and again, that was an underthrown ball. The statement that catch/run is the same for all the other QBs is not true. The fact that RT is dead last in long ball completion percentage says that every QB is better at the long ball than him right now. Let's not confuse the facts with statistical manipulation.

EVERY ASPECT OF RYANS GAME IS GETTING BETTER - remember when we were killing him for not feeling pressure and extending plays or running? He's getting GOOD at it now. The long ball will come. I think it's mental as he keeps underthrowing them. Which would be fine if chucking to Calvin Johnson - but he's not. Wallace and Hartline need to be led out in front. I believe he will start hitting these. He's the real deal. But right now, his long ball accuracy is bad. Last place = a lot of room for improvement. He'll figure it out. Brady couldn't throw the long ball in his first year of extended play when he dunked and dinked the pats to a SB win over the Rams. RT is way more developed than Brady was at that time. Just sayin.

Impossible, he can't throw deep. :err:

Maybe his deep ball is not exactly perfect yet, and he is a work in progress, but obviously he can kill you deep if you give him the chance. Thanks Dave :up:

Exactly, and many of these passes were 15 yards or more, so we are not talking about a QB that just throws screens and lets his receiver do most of the work.
 
Calling that pass to Clay "underthrown" is really nitpicking. a yard further and it would have been "overthrown". He dropped it in a basket between the receiver and the sidelin where only Clay could get it and Clay barely had to slow down. I think most NFL QBs would be proud of that throw.

Hahahaha, WHAT? Is someone seriously saying that wasn't a great throw? Wow.

not saying that. I'll take the result every time. I'm just saying that he has yet to LEAD anyone down sideline yet. It would be nit-picking if he had a bevy of throws that went deep and over the shoulder for TDs but we don't have a single one yet. Just a lot of misses. But read the whole post - I'm saying he's getting awfully close to "elite" status.

it is nitpicking because was it or was it not completed? I bet you Wallace drops that same pass

That's fair. And I may be being a bit unfair to Ryan. I just want to see some of the deep balls lead the receiver, you know, the way Marino used to do :). Again, I stand by my review of RT - which I think he has progressed remarkebly this year - week to week. His pocket presence has gone from liability to strength suddenly. I expect the same thing is going to happen with the deep throws!
