So you’re saying our former QB didn’t have a knack of throwing Receivers open, that’s weird because I always thought that was one of the things he excelled at

C’est la vie, to each their own

Nope. I'm saying the receivers have to be able to separate in order to get open. They have to be able to run good routes and have the knowledge and ability to know how to do it. McVay's offense does more to help them get open than the QB ever does.

Disagree. A QB's eyes, ball placement, body language, decision making, poise, scrambling, predictability and many other things can affect yards after the catch and the WR's ability to get open. So does scheme, blocking, running game and the ability of other WR's as threats requiring attention and coverage.

There is no doubt a WR can also contribute to openness and YAC as well. Route running, moves, speed, vision, ability to break tackles etc.

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one

Aw don’t go getting your panties in a wad, perhaps its just a coincidence and a QB throwing Receivers open has nothing to do with YAC, it’s not like you’re the Lone Ranger with that take

Then again if certain comments offend you, can’t you just pass, you don’t have to come across as the Thread Sheriff my man

Peace

Yep and I use it to great effect whenever I think someone says something laughable

Kupp is a badass. Praying we have him this year in the playoffs. Losing him has been a huge hit in two playoff seasons and it cost us the Super Bowl in '18 IMO.

What in the actual fuck are you even talking about? I didn't even have a take on that, haha. Maybe a nap is in order... You seem cranky. :-)

Peace....

Agree. It seems odd that this is even a point of debate and discussion.

Many factors can influence Yards-After-Catch but a Quarterback's accuracy, timing and ball-placement certainly have an impact.

Snip

Everyone focus' upon the WRs to judge this air attack. But IMO the Ram RBs are completely underrated. McVay simply hasn't emphasized their receiving talent. Aker, Henderson, and Funk are all good receivers. I saw firsthand how a good receiving RB can impact the game if that part of the passing game was emphasized by the OC. I watched Tomlinson and Rivers just tear up defenses and that roster wasn't nearly what this Rams roster is. It was QB Rivers, RB Tomlinson, WR Vicent Jackson, and TE Antonio Gates. Those 4 were the offense. Right now Stafford has Kupp, Woods, Higbee, Jackson, Jefferson, Akers, and Henderson. Some of the reserves on the Rams right now could probably be starters on other teams.

Yeah, I miss how much Gurley caught the ball and yacced it up for huge chunks and TDs. I often wonder what happened to that part of McVay's O--I guess our backs have to block so much now.

An alert crafty Qb can cause dbs to move with his eyes. A good Qb can throw receivers "open" as well - think yac. That said, clearly receivers bear the brunt of getting open.
 
No one has mentioned that the fake hand-off helps get receivers open on some plays and even if you classify Goff as an average QB or below, you have to admit he had one of the best fake hand-offs in the game. But then again, that only worked if you had a good running game going.

We are just saying you can make very good to great receivers even better than they are with good ball placement.

There is no hope for tools like Brandon Gibson and Brian Quick
