I'm not sure I 100% agree aside from he needs a lot of shotgun to get comfortable, but he is going to have to be able to line up under center as well. Whether we use roll outs or deeper drops to adjust this for him is anyone's guess at this point. I kind of like that they are building an offensive roster that will fit 90% of QBs instead of going all in on creating a unique offense for a QB that we aren't 100% sold on at this point. If we did create a special Bryce offense and he doesn't become the QB he was projected, we would be stuck with an unusual set of players on offense for a more traditional QB. The route they are taking makes it easier to move on from Bryce if needed.

Thats a win for Canales given the circumstances.

Awesome! We need as many rookies as possible to contribute to this roster.

No comment on the thread derailment. I’ve been digging marinating them in Italian dressing overnight and the grilling up with whatever sauce/seasoning you want. Top notch!

What kind of chicken are you cooking?

That's above my paygrade.... (I'm too old/dumb to know also)

Check out those veggies @Zod!

He had arthritis in his knee as well which is progressive. Chubb is the one who had the nasty injury in college I believe...

Any updates from OTAs today?

Don’t question Juan. Just let him be.

I don’t think they even play the same role. Mingo should develop into a big slot IMO and XL can be the X big catch radius outside WR. Different body types and different playing styles.

Wait is Bryce bigger or not? We need more pictures!!

He just wore a more fitted shirt and changed his hairstyle lol. I remember when that article came out.

Sanders is also huge. Look at his arms here.

Dak was the best QB in the league statistically speaking. He struggles in the playoffs, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t retained in Dallas. If they can win in the playoffs again they will fire McCarthy and probably throw stupid money at someone like Ben Johnson.

Gonna have to bring the GM in to yell at the locker room. (Joking)

I feel like halftime adjustments were an issue for Ron? Maybe I’m remembering it wrong.

Agreed. Part of letting it play it is just sitting back and seeing how Bryce does this year. I do enjoy the offseason and trying to figure out roster building strategies/philosophies though.

I’m not propping him up. I’m saying his offense isn’t Fox ball as they found success through their QB despite their running game being bottom tier. That could never happen in Fox football.

All offenses need a QB to challenge the defense. Bill O’Brien had Bryce doing this at Alabama. It’s why Jamo went in the 1st round. You need great deep threat WRs to make it work. Geno was great at it in Seattle because they had DK and Lockett plucking the ball out of the air deep. That’s just good football. A running game they just respect plus a WR that can track and adjust to deep balls is part of the formula. Too much of this “deep ball thrower” is labeled on the QB vs the WR and scheme. I’ll keep going back to Tua wasn’t a good deep ball thrower until he got deep ball receivers. Also Miami has installed a solid running game to complement this. Canales is trying to build a complete NFL offense and if someone like Bryce can’t operate in it, then we will simply find a QB that can.

I guess you missed the point. His rushing attack was dead last yet his team still performed. That’s not Fox/Rivera ball. His QB also had a career year. Remember the same QB that played for us in the same division and was so bad he was cut? Carroll coached after Lynch as well. In fact Canales was more involved in the more recent offense with Geno Smith and a good rushing attack. People are taking him wanting a rushing attack and assuming that means we are shutting down our passing attack. Again many of the top offenses like SF, Miami, and Detroit featured strong rushing attacks.

Didn’t they win a playoff game? Also Baker was in the same decision the prior year and sucked so bad he was cut…

How did an offense that is just a continuation of Fox/Rivera football make the playoffs with a bottom of the league rushing attack and feature a QB having a career year? I’m not saying it’s going to be great but it seems different than Fox/Rivera and maybe more Seattle IMO.

Deep ball passes are typically more of a WR stat. It’s why Tua’s deep ball game looked terrible before Hill/Waddle and much better when they arrived. The WRs make the adjustments and make the catches. Even Burrow mentioned “Chase is down the field somewhere. All I need to do is air it out.” If an arm is capable of getting the ball down the field the rest of the formula is timing and WR adjustments. The arm strength issue would fall more into zipping passes into tight places or making throws while avoiding pressure when your feet aren’t set IMO.
