STACKED’s take
Young's consistency jump and elite middle-field precision (72%) fuel MVP-caliber performance.
Young demonstrated a considerable jump in consistency with 300+ passing yards in multiple games; the 'lows' aren't as low and he still puts up well over 200 yards instead of well under. On 41 attempts, Young completed 8.5% more passes than expected, including the 3rd and 14 strike to Teteiroa McMillan that's the 18th most improbable completion of the season so far per Next Gen Stats. Young generated an EPA of 0.47 even while pressured at a rate that's more than any other quarterback in the NFL. According to TruMedia, Young has a 72% precision pass rate in the middle of the field, the highest mark in the league. The source argues that Young's development and ability as a passer—handling unblocked defenders and choosing between multiple routes—is elite in many aspects, rivaling the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
