Quote:Percent of Passes either Screens or less than 5 yards ------

 

46% for Manziels with 22% of that being screens.

 

41% for Bridgewater with only 9% of them being screens so yeah he does throws alot of 1-5 yard passes but very few screens unlike Manziel/Carr/Bortles.

 

47% for Bortles with 22% being screens.

 

59% (good lord) for Carr with a whopping 33% of them being screens.

 

Of the 4 Bridgewater has the second highest percentage of pass going 20+ yards with 14%. Bortles only has 11% same with Carr. To me this is impressive in that he doesnt haev the evasion ability of Manziel to run around and them heave up a ball to an open WR once the D breaks down. He actually moves in the pocket to buy time.

 

Bridgewater does his work in the 5-15 yard range with very little screens suggesting he doesnt rely on YAC nearly as much as the other prospects. And while Manziel does throws the highest percent of passes in the 20+ Range this comes from his improv ability and not from reading progressions and standing in the pocket. RG3 had a high percent of downfield passes at Baylor due to this as well but quickly learned the NFL doesnt play that game. Same with Vick at VT actually.
