As long as Bryce is our QB, I have to believe the odds heavily favor whoever is playing us.

Agree. There may be one or two times where he hit someone in stride or put it out there for a WR to go get it but I struggle to recall them.

I think this is likely a comfortable Atlanta victory. They have a pretty punishing running attack that should give us fits. Obviously, if Bryce turns the ball over early and often, it will be a hole we have to dig out of like last week. I don't think they are going to take their foot off the gas as much as the Cardinals did.

Not much to tear down on the roster. A few contracts to dump but really pretty bare bones due to years of poor management and not being able to get more expensive people to come into their mess. 100% on holdovers. The problem is the Teppers will be a part of the hiring at some level, which they have failed at in every way. I can't see a way around that hurdle unless it's pure luck at this point.

Like I said, it doesn't matter how far he can or cannot throw the ball. Most (95%) of the game is played within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage anyway. Having a big arm is plus for sure but not completely necessary. Height and weight is up there and I would argue more important than arm strength. Accuracy and being able to function under pressure is priority number 1 if you ask me.

A serious mid-week question: If you were forced to pick who'll win straight-up for this week's game, who's your choice? Carolina or Atlanta? Pros for Carolina: finally, a home game. Carrying over some of the excitement from last week's last 5 minutes. Division rival, chip on our shoulder to prove we can win, etc. Cons: some key injuries, XL. And, well.... (waves hands around) all that other stuff Pros for Atlanta: uh, they won last week? (reason for the question: weekly office football pool has the matchup on the sheet and I'm debating which to go with)

we have the same OLine and 2 1k rushers from last season. Is the run game bad because teams are stacking the box because there is no fear of Bryce beating them deep?

The Cardinals game was crazy. Everyone with the facemasks with fangs on them. Night game too. The city is really ready to go crazy for a team I believe, we just can't get any kind of consistent results. Combined with the Hornets/Bobcats it's just giga depressing.

I think his placement on deep balls is more often than not, just bad. When it comes to downfield balls, Bryce generally makes life hard. You actually don't need a cannon for the vertical stuff on the sidelines. Some of the best deep throwers really are just well placed lobs. . Now the deep middle? Yeah, I like a strong arm. Bryce never really sets up a WR to go get it. If you get in position and beat your guy he is going to turn it into a 50/50 letting the defender contest it or make you have to worry about staying in bounds.

We need a full scale tear-down and rebuild. Done properly this time. No more holdovers from the previous regime. If Morgan goes, Canales goes, all the scouts and front office personnel go and all the assistants go. Hire someone to actually consult and build an organization, not just put together a staff.

Well im sure some were drops if you look at each one. I'm not interested enough to look. It doesn't matter if he can throw it a mile at this point. He's just not an nfl qb.

I think the coaches don’t want opponents to see his limited range. I don’t think it’s a secret at this point though.

Every pass over 30 or more in his career has been incomplete if NexGen is correct. I don't think it is all on the coaches just not asking him enough.

I'm not saying he has a big arm. I'm saying he at least can chunck it 40 yards. Why we don't take more shots is a mystery.

In the nfl he hasn't thrown many at all. Thats on the coaches.

That was Frank's excuse after the game when he was asked about it. Young was visibly upset on the sideline and in his interview after the game. All he would say is the coach makes the decisions and he trusts the coaches. When asked about his shoulder he said he felt fine.

There's always going to be mistakes in the draft, it's a crapshoot in a lot of ways. Our problem isn't just bad drafting, though it's a big part of our problem. Don't oversimplify it. It seems like Tepper and his gang of clowns sit around and see if they can come up with new ways to fug up a football organization. We draft bad. We make bad decisions in FA. We give big money to the wrong players in house. We hire bad GMs and coaches. The scouts are either ignored or completely suck. There's not much of anything that we do right. It goes far beyond just the draft.

I’m suspicious of his arm for sure.

I can't find an incompletion over 44 yards. And I can't find a completion over 28. Not saying they don't exist but NextGen doesn't have anything greater for either on his passing charts. Bryce probably could get it 50 but like most big throws he makes he isn't going to make it unless he pretty much has enough time to get set

I think he's has some 40 yards in the nfl but they are rare. Under Frank he never had the time to throw one a majority of them. Under Canales I've yet to see one either. Whether it's Young or the play call is yet to be determined.

I have seen him do 45 yards I think. Not saying he can’t do more, that’s just what I remember seeing. I won’t need Canales’ input here. I never heard that story but Reich playing Bryce when he thought he hurt his shoulder does not make real good sense to me. I mean, he is okay to throw everything else and take hits but not to air one out? It isn’t a good play with him anyway. He’d drop 15 yards and have to do that run up to launch it and would probably get smacked by a defender.

You've seen Young throw a 50 yard air pass in the NFL? I cant remember one but I usually stop watching before the end of his games.

I only watch because it's free and I can do other things at home while it's on. Well that and I like to laugh.

Maybe, but a good QB knows where his check down is supposed to be. Young is a deer in headlights once the action starts.

It infuriates me when Canales touts players " Had a great week of practice" especially pertaining to Legette then proceeds to crap the bed on game day. Canales is so fugging lame. Their great practices don't mean poo if it doesn't translate to the field on Sundays I beat the table for Legette, boy was I sorely mistaken.
