IT'S HERE: The 2020-21 Deep Ball Project is finally out. See how accurate your quarterback was throwing the ball downfield! https://brickwallblitz.com/2021/02/16/the-2020-21-deep-ball-project-part-1-3/
At the super young age of 43 Tom Brady threw the most down the field of any QB in 2020, and it wasn't even close.
Despite playing with Greg Roman, Lamar Jackson finished as the most accurate deep passer under pressure. 5 attempts, but hey it counts.
No one threw for more air yards in 2020 than Tom Brady.
No one threw for more deep passing yards in 2020 than Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers threw more touchdowns on deep passes than any QB in 2020.
Patrick Mahomes' receivers screwed him over more than any other deep passer in 2020.
Remember when I said a certain QB was one of two to be accurate on 60% of his deep passes and was a QB many weren't expecting?

That QB was Derek Carr. He was also the most accurate deep passer into tight windows.
Kirk Cousins was the most accurate deep passer throwing to his left, just barely beating out Russell Wilson.
To the middle of the field, no QB was more accurate than Mahomes.
Derek Carr was the most accurate deep passer throwing to his right and it wasn't even a contest either.

CAM!
Let's check deep accuracy in clean pockets and holy shit Matthew Stafford.

ALSO WHO'S THAT TIED FOR SECOND WITH RUSSELL WILSON?!?!
Josh Allen is the most improved deep passer I have ever seen. He was first in accuracy on throws of 21-25 yards.
No quarterback was more accurate on throws of 26-30 yards than Lamar Jackson, though Derek Carr came close.
New Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was accurate on all 7 of his passes of 31-35 yards.

Dwayne Haskins and Cam Newton didn't even attempt any passes in the area.
Thanks to stupidly small sample sizes Andy Dalton and Dwayne Haskins were the most accurate deep passers on throws of 36-40 yards with a combined FOUR attempts...

More impressive are quarterbacks like Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, and Matthew Stafford.
Dak threw one pass of 41+ yards so this doesn't really count. On the other hand, check out Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, and Justin Herbert!
Daniel Jones was a very pleasant surprise this season in terms of deep passing. He also finished 8th in accuracy from the shotgun.

In first was Derek Carr, with Rodgers and Mahomes not too far behind.
I'm crying at how Brady was the most accurate deep passer outside the pocket. He had two attempts but this is still funny.

Also check out Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Mahomes!
No quarterback threw more Inaccurate Completions on deep passes in 2020 than Teddy Bridgewater.
