Is Malik Nabers Qb Proof?

[GloryDays]

He's not so special that if the OL only allows a very short amount of time before a QB gets hit that he will be effective.  NFL CBs can tie him early for a split second to screw up any effectiveness.  It's about the OL.

We've seen the horrific stats about the amount of time DJ has had to throw before pressured or sacked, and I wonder if anyone can find those stats for his rookie year. 

For the hell of it I just watched a video of his rookie highlights and while granting they were highlights he was doing a lot of things that he supposedly now can't do - throwing the ball down the field, throwing guys open, putting the ball into tight spots, hitting guys in stride so they could get YAC, etc.  But I also noticed that his protection seemed to hold up better than it did in 2023, which seems to have been a tipping point. 

So I wonder if he really did have more time in the pocket in his rookie year or if that impression was just an artifact of watching a highlight video.  I do know that his rookie OL gave up just over half the number of sacks than the 2023 OL but I'd really like to compare those 'time to pressure' stats if anyone has them.

BTW, watching that video reminded me of what a beast Golden Tate was in getting YAC.  And how good Sterling Sharpe was back then.

2.5 with a pressure rate of 29%

2.5 with a pressure rate of 29%

Isn't 29% really high?

[Jclayton92]

Isn't 29% really high?

Yeah but I don't know if it's relative to games played that season because he started less than most.

[Trench]

Nabers on this team could open WanDale and Hyatt to have explosive plays

Playing more game may improve or worsen the stat.  I dont think that matters.

I cant wait to watch Nabers play.  Injust hope it's with real blocking and throwing and timely playcalling.
