It's the super-rare thread not called "Bryce sucks," "Bryce can't play," "Bryce can't finish drives," "Bryce is the worst QB who ever lived," "Legette sucks," "Legette sucks but not as much as Bryce who is the sole cause of all the problems in my life," "Bryce is costing us games," "When does Bryce get benched" or "Bryce ruined my marriage".

His decisions certainly will.

The long leashes afforded Young and Legette (particularly) has me wondering: not asking Nicole’s fav because we know that answer. But who is the player most likely to be Big Brass Balls’ favorite?

I kinda understand going for 2 more if you have the personnel or a play that really might work. Dave has neither of those.

Rozeboom needs to get better before he's a JAG.

There's a ton of consistency. Linebackers miss far more tackles than they make. Safeties, one in particular, takes poor angles all the time. The quarterback consistently plays every first quarter with his eyes closed, the WRs other than two consistently look like they're in the UFL and the entire defense celebrates when it holds a RB to a 15-yard carry.

He was always critical of DJ Moore, a player 100x as good as XL.

It’s not his fault because he’s got a southern accent and he’s tall. Ask any NFL talent evaluator worth his salt and he’ll tell you those are the two most vital metrics for a WR. This effort, rote running, catching, bullshit is meaningless. And he doesn’t drop passes anyway. Young either throws them too hard or too soft. T-Mac didn’t play any better than XL Sunday, anyway, which is proof it’s not XL’s fault.

Guys, be patient with XL. Sure, he’s shown absolutely nothing and doesn’t know where to like up or seem to care, but it’s OK because reasons. It’s the quarterback’s and coach’s fault he can’t run routes or catch. He got hit hard once and everyone knows, no WR has ever had a good game for the remainder of their career once they get lit up once in a game. Besides, no WR could ever put up decent numbers in this offense. Just please ignore Thielen and T-Mac.

And even if he were, he wouldn’t cowtow to Tepper.

0-1 on those.

He made some nice throws in the second half but he just doesn't make the right decision often enough. Hell, his last TD pass to Renfrow was in such a tight window. It was a great throw, but most of the time I expect passes like that to be carried back for a TD on the other end.

Ryne Robinson got snubbed again!

He got the largest cheers of any player, by far, at Fan Fest.

I think he probably missed a couple and the pass rush caused him to miss a couple. So in that case, it comes down to play design: if your QB is limited in his arsenal, run the plays that, oh I don't know, worked on the previous possessions? I understand Arizona's defense tightened up a bit on the last drive but hell, they tried tightening up the one before that and couldn't.

Yeah I would too, I'm just saying that dialing up deep shots from Bryce every down was dumb as hell.

An argument could be made that the 2024 draft was even worse than the 2023 draft. You could also easily argue the worst drafts in franchise HISTORY are: 2024, 2023, and 2022. That's why you're seeing what you're seeing every Sunday.

The playcalling was stupid as hell again.

OP will demand 0-17 and still create 3 rage threads after every loss.

This is an XL thread. You brought Bryce into it. There are 500 Bryce threads. How can T-Mac make things happen whereas Legette is a net negative everywhere (literally)?

Kinda but not really. If you took Bryce’s 2023 game against the Colts, or his 2024 game against the Chargers, and translated that to a WR you’d have almost every Legette game. Young being bad is a separate issue; Legette being unplayable is its own.

No, it’s not. He’s unprepared, unmotivated and unsuccessful at every facet of the game. The QB not being very good is not an excuse for a WR loafing it to the LOS and half-assing routes. It hasn’t stopped T-Mac from being an impact player.

I was surprised to see Tech suck that bad.

Hunter RenGOAT in the 4th today.

Regardless of the scoreboard, that was a good drive.
