Next Gen Stats: Cowboys vs Seahawks
On the heels of Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard's statement that he views Aaron Rodgers as the best deep-ball thrower in the NFL (and perhaps of all time), Nick Shook dives into metrics from Next Gen Stats to rank his top 10 deep passers in the league right now.
NOTE: Deep attempts include any throws that traveled 20-plus air yards. All stats are current heading into Thursday night of Week 4.
Thanks for posting. I think that my interpretation of a "deep pass" is different than this analysis. Though Goff may have had to audible out of a play intending to go over the top (or was forced to check down post-snap), I haven't seen McGoff attempt anything along the lines of what we have seen Wilson (or other QB's) do.
I suspect that it's more of a situation where McVay is adapting to the personnel he has on the roster.
