No...the counters were there, Young can't execute them.

24 year old "project"... That usually doesn't work out very well

I mean, Frank Reich knew right when he saw Bryce throw that he was doomed. Both of these coaches have seen a lot of QBs during their time in the NFL, they're not stupid. Bryce Young has been forced upon them by Tepper. Forced Reich to get on board with drafting him, and forced Canales to try and "fix" him. Bryce realized early that he doesn't have the talent to make it in the NFL. You could just see it in his face during his rookie year that it was over. He knew deep down he could not make the throws. He doesn't even look for the deep ball anymore because he knows he can't physically make the pass.

I like DC. I liked that after game 2 last year - which was game 2 as him being a head coach, he benched Young. I like that he has those balls. I was then confused when he didnt start to feature Rico after his run. DC is in a tough place with Young. He has an offence he wants to run but a QB that cannot do it. So do you bend to try to work with what Young can do.. or force your system?

Yeah This is a big part of the challenge. It’s the blind leading the blind without established guys. At the same time the saying is you lose a game fle every rookie you start. Still, I like that we are playing young guys overall.

Oh he said a lot. He’s spreading blame. It’s a classic tactic for shielding a single person. You spread it out evenly so instead of one person getting hit with a club, everyone gets a tap on the hand. You protect the individual but eventually lose everyone else after the hand taps add up. He’s going to rug flip him, watch. He's playing the nice guy “trying to make him successful” and defend him, and protect him, and then towards the end of the year, he’s going to rip the rug out from under him.

That man, and most NFL coaches, can talk forever and not say one fuging thing.

There are multiple clips https://x.com/BillSimmons/status/1967654543887663143?s=20 This is a consider a drop when the ball is high https://x.com/PolymarketBlitz/status/1980113094094508035?s=20 And for every drop pass Trevor must lead the league in dropped ints, just this pass game vs Houston they dropped 2

The play calling and now the words have been strongly suggesting that Canales is trying to navigate his way through a lack of a QB.

Also if it reads funny, I tried to type it as accurately as I could without changing anything, I wasn’t trying to be sloppy.

Hey, tbe first pro game for Bryce vs the first for Cam, nothing needs to be said. EdIt/PS each showed us exactly who they were, first time.

I went back and watched the press conference from Monday again because I wasn’t really paying attention at the time. He’s telling us what’s going on, but we are just dismissing it as coach speak. Here it is in text. Reporter 1: When you say with confidence, do you think Bryce is confident taking those deep shots, or are they being called? What is going on with that? Canales: Yeah it’s a mix of all those things. Reporter 2: What needs to happen for your deep passing game to open up a little bit? Canales: Chemistry, timing, it’s everybody. Protection-wise, was.. um, finding the right opportunities, coverage-wise, um.. and then it’s just you know, the timing and me to you factor- getting the guys down there and giving them opportunities to make the plays. Reporter 3: Is it fair to criticize the lack of vertical threat you guys had, like Xavier Legette had a post wide open but the ball got hit up, there are opportunity there but drops, play mishaps, etc. Are you pushing the ball downfield with your play calling or do you feel like there is a disconnect with the production? Canales: In general it’s a group effort, yes lets get some more opportunities, um, to have those plays come alive- I will call them more when we have more success with them and those things come alive for us, but we have to keep working together, we have to keeping taking those shots in practice to make sure we are comfortable with them and uh; certainly for Brad and I to look at the pass game, coverage, and what they are giving us, uh pretty simple. When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them. Um, so that we uh, are a balanced offense which um, does play off of the run game, which we have got going but now let’s get the pass game going so we can really attack with an offense that I visualize for us. Reporter 4: Calling and Bryce taking more shots back last season… why have you gotten away from it if it’s as simple as what you’ve said about kinda getting too reliant on the success of the run game? Canales: By numbers-wise we are about the same, I think it’s just a matter of chemistry, the full group getting comfortable with those things and then making it come alive. Reporter 5: Is Bryce comfortable taking those deep shots? Canales: We will have to just keep growing as a group and make sure that you, we are at the time on task, the trust factor, the me to you factor, the.. all these things you know, and grow. Reporter 6: What do you think will help the trust factor? When you say that do you mean between receivers and Bryce? Staff and Bryce? Or play calling and Bryce? Canales: all those things and you know, it happens in practice and uh, we’ve had these things come alive in practice and we got to make sure they make it to the game. Reporter 7: If you’re not seeing success in the vertical game, is there a way to alternate your approach to open up more YAC opportunities? Canales: That could be a strategy as well, throwing and catching on some of the short/intermediate stuff um, but I do know you want to stretch the field at times and we get these vertical shots called and we try to make sure we are attacking the right coverages and then from there it’s confidence and the me to you factor which happens in practice. So what I got out of that was he is calling it but Bryce isn’t throwing it. It sounds like Bryce is checking out of it for better coverage match ups and / or thinking he doesn’t have good chemistry with some of the receivers. Also how he totally skips Reporter 5’s question is damning as hell.

Yea it does, I hope he heals and can come back. That said if you cut your hand deep enough to sever/ completely tear your extensor tendons, I'm going to think there's some major nerve damage as well on top of the difficulty of relearning to use your hand.

He’s the same player he was since freshman year at Clemson

It's mid November. After Saturday, there's only two weeks of regular season left. I know, time flies. Yes, mocks are ramping up all over the place. Styles and Cooper Jr. are studs. Beck isn't a bad option for QB2. Not sure about he O-line guys.

By the time Cams bad games came he had awesome games first for extended time.

They gave this man his own sandwich

At least Shenault is a threat to do something with the ball in his hands. XL hasn't even shown me that. Doesn't seem to have great vision and as a runner and goes down easy. Honestly, XL doesn't look long for the league and Coker and probably Tremayne too should've already leapfrogged him on the depth chart.

Or the 49ers take a dump, Bryce gets carried to victory, and completely redeems himself with another GWD where he doesn’t compete a pass.

wtf that sucks about Legault. Wow I hate that for him

Oh yeah. I have said the same type of thing and no one bought it. They weren’t in the market. If you are inaccurate at +/- 35 yards, it can accidentally land right where you wanted it.

Legette can’t run routes or catch so I’m not sure what a better QB does. He’s Shenault 2.0. Not like as in improved but he’s the second coming of Shenault. Borderline useless player that’s only place is a few meme plays that will lose their effectiveness as soon as they hit film.

Legette doesn’t circus catch. He can’t regular catch. That ball in the end zone required turned shoulders and putting up two goddamn hands. Circus catch, get real. Circus clown statement.

And?
