Sidecar Falcon Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Pitts is the hot name getting thrown around lately. I’ve seen a few posters stating that he’ll take our offense to the next level. If Ryan puts up similar numbers as he did last year with Pitts, and Smith at the helm; Would you address the QB position after that season? If no, why not? What stats would you expect of Ryan with Julio, Ridley, Gage, Hurst, and Pitts? CADirtyBird, xSICKxWITHxITx and MoFalconsFan56 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 6 games of a 100+ passer rating, 9 of 90+, and 11 of 80+ (82ish is about average). He had 2-3 stinkers, but overall 2020 was an above average season for Ryan in comparison to the rest of his career. All that while getting calls from one of the worst OCs in the league.

autigerfan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The only stats I care about are W & L's. Does our first round pick make us better in 2021? I hope the answer is yes. papachaz, Doug Carlton and Diesel_Bird 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons why it may be prudent to address the QB position depth this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo Falcons Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'd give Ryan 2022 as well before I figured him to be on the downward slope. But of course if he has an uncharacteristically down year then I'd start thinking about drafting his replacement. I'm not expecting him to have a down year and especially not if given Pitts. Of course there's injuries and bad oline play but you can't put that on him. Sidecar Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 What if Ryan has another season similar to his MVP season and the defense let's him down again. Have we forgotten to all the times the defense have given up game winning drives the past 2 seasons.

takeitdown Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 First year struggle is possible in a new offense. But honestly, if the OL is playing well, I'd expect 4500 yards 30 TDs under 15 INTs YPA close to 8. Anything less than that, unless we're running a ton, is a problem.

There is absolutely no way, Ryan struggles if everyone is healthy and we effectively run 2 TE sets with Julio and Ridley on the outside. I’m serious... There is no way the offense struggles with that as our base set lol dirtybirds233 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Kent™ Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 This is way too broad. How about you put wins and losses down. Nobody cares about what stats they have unless the stats are wins. Macintez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See last seasons MVP I'm hoping it's close enough to Shanny's offense that there aren't too many. I actually don't think Ryan is done (he's been the main reason for any relevance the last decade), but I sort of see a 3 year window for him and I hate to lose one of those to getting used to the system. But it's entirely possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Ryan played just fine last season dealing with Koetter. Now his plays will be called by a man that made Ryan Tannehill a pro bowler.

He did struggle more than what some people want to admit. And his struggles were part of the reason why the offense was very up and down....far more than some here want to admit. Of course everyone here will just blame Dirk and play calling...no matter what....even when Ryan missed on throws that he should have made that were open...and had he made the throws the offense would have scored more points. Getting Julio healthy will help. Gage's and Ridley hopeful continued development should help. Getting Davis and hopefully a home run threat in the draft should help. The continued development of the young guys on the line will help. Hopefully getting a defense that will keep a lead that the offense gives them will help. I am hoping that those things will help Ryan not press as much as he did in 2020 because he was off last year more than he normally is.

Depends on the kind of struggle in this hypothetical. If the OGs are getting blown up and he isn't having time to throw...you do one thing. If the timing between WR and QB aren't great due to a new system and you see some instances where QB and WR aren't on the same page, you do another. If the QB isn't able to make throws you need for the offense to work, and you see him underthrowing passes, missing the 15 yard outs with too much float...then you do something else (probably get a QB).

Knight of God Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Pitts!!! That's the pick, you guys think a QB is going to come in midseason and light it up, some Willie Beamon moment. No. Get a weapon, that one extra first down and move TF on. JDaveG, slick0ne, Macintez and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the 2nd TB game and KC, none of those teams were legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
