Yeah while many are undecided or already writing him off in the NFL, he was a very good college QB. My Auburn fan hood hurts saying that BTW.

https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2024/01/alabama-sets-school-record-for-sacks-allowed-in-a-season.html Looks like last year they broke a school record for sacks allowed. That's without Bryce playing.... The previous high was in 96?

Here is the stat for total yards not just one WR.

Yeah you were right. I think Snow was thinking of Ben not wanting to come here.

He was awful last year for the Eagles. You might be thinking of Ben Johnson?

Another thought is maybe this is part 1 of many to develop this offense. Get the run game going to open up the passing game and make life easier on our QB early on. As he progresses (in theory) you can really open up the offense. A physical running game can really inspire a team to play more physical on offense and defense which is what Dan Morgan wants. Remember the Ravens, Niners, and Dolphins has top offenses and also top running games.

If there is a good balance it’s great. A strong running game can demoralize a defense. We also need a great passing game. Russ could also kill a defense through the air in Seattle plus they had an elite defense. When teams get a lead or we need to score fast we have to be able to spread them out and have our QB pick them apart quickly.

Ok? We are talking about top QB picks who didn’t throw at the combine.

Polar opposite seasons in 2018 and 2019. A level of scheme fit is necessary. Below-average arm strength and average release quickness. Tends to work into more condensed areas of the field. Steep drop in accuracy on intermediate throws outside the numbers. Requires top-notch timing for out-breaking throws as a pro. Saw nose of ball dive on some throws field-side. Spotty high/low combo throws against long boundary CBs when they play it low to high. Early issues handling Clemson's disguised blitz packages. Scheme created clearer reads and easier one-on-one throws. Took sacks he didn't need to Burrow’s arm talent was actually his weakness. This is his draft profile weaknesses on NFL.com. He was smart not to throw with Herbert at the combine. Also this was about top QB picks not throwing at the combine not arm strength. I’m just stating it’s becoming more common lately minus Kenny Pickett. I think you are just holding this against Bryce because you are frustrated at our situation and I understand that.

Gary is no Garry…

We should have drafted AD to have an even more Texas draft. AD, Brooks, and Sanders.

More recently Joe Burrow.

He might be my favorite rookie. I’d love for him to become our next 3rd Leg Greg!

He is an easy coach to cheer for. I hope he works out for us.

They are projecting him to be cleared by training camp. He appears to be ahead of schedule. They still should ease him in early on. “Honestly, as far as rehab goes, it’s good,” Brooks said. “I’m out there, I’m running, I’m about to start cutting. So I’m progressing well. I’m right on track on where I need to be. For me to get back to camp, it’s also just a blessing. I feel like this injury’s a blessing from God just being that it gives me a chance to focus on a lot of other things.

Thank you for your service Juan.

It keeps the big DTs out of his space. I believe that's what he is implying. Georgia's talented DTs were able to get in the pocket limiting his view. That's why he wanted to roll out. If you are going on size of the OL vs QB then Tua at 6' even isn't seeing over Robert Hunt last year.

Seems like he is a large sized WR that actually plays like it! AD was my guy, but I am excited to see what XL can do.

Without a doubt one of his worst games. He got pressured early and remained off all game. He got happy feet and could never really settle back down.

I would be hesitant to judge an Reich Ramble quote last year as he contradicted himself on the regular. The first thing he mentioned "point blank" was simply confusing the defense. To me he was talking about other teams doing this like the Saints (I doubt he thought Brees was limited), and himself in the past (I doubt he thought Luck/Wentz were limited). After mentioning what all Dalton can do he talks about how he can come in a execute one play well and not many QBs can do this (which is not even true). I think he was just giving his vet praise and mentioning he wanted to use him more than just a backup AKA he can do multiple things. I will say your under center comment holds some weight though. I originally took it as you implying Reich saying Young was a physically limited QB and Dalton can do things he can't physically do he benched him. (even if he believed this it would be dumb to state to the press) Under center and different formations for a rookie not comfortable with that on fourth down makes some sense. In fact he put him in later in the year on 4th and short and did the fake handoff roll out for the first. So maybe that was the case?

Not when the GOAT Dalton played!
