From the episode

So far this season on throws of one to 12 yards under a 2.5 time to throw... Bryce Young is third in EPA per play and 12th in success rate right now. Last year, that was 39th and 33.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Young improved quick-game efficiency (3rd EPA) but struggles in collapsing pockets.

Young showed improvement in quick-game execution this season compared to last year; on throws of 1-12 yards under 2.5 seconds to throw, he ranks third in EPA per play and 12th in success rate (vs. 39th and 33rd last year), suggesting he's not ruining plays with quick decisions; however, he struggles when the pocket collapses and space condenses, particularly against aggressive pass rushes like the Browns, where he can't navigate interior space as effectively as taller quarterbacks.
