I saw his footwork and off schedule/timing throw issues as well as him bringing pressure on himself and I'm not an NFL scout. He wasn't close to being my #1 qb in this draft. He was 3rd and I'm questioning that now. I said it during the draft lead up, you can't trade to #1 and take Young. It had to be Stroud or AR

The bad thing is the footwork stuff was a problem in college. It just didn't matter 90% of the time.

Because they knew we would suck for the season. Some of the staff wanted to redshirt him too.

Because she's on the panel that makes final football decisions along With Tepper, Morgan and Fitt. She's trying to learn football. Which if she's in that position.... is good I guess.

He got compared to Wilson and Murray but the difference is that both of those players are naturally 205-210 pounds and thick and can escape sacks in the pocket with regularity. Bryce plays at 185-190 and doesn't have the frame to get up to 210 or so naturally. That is ignoring his footwork and his seemingly to be unable to correctly perform 3 step and 5 step timing routes because he gets off schedule with his extra hitches

He shoulda never been in the conversation for qb1 in the draft. I mean I'm not a scout and only played oline in highschool but watching his tape at Alabama...everything shows up 100%. Bad footwork, below average arm, slight frame, inability to read front 7 and being able to slide the line to protect himself. Inability to get the ball out on time for timing concepts on 3 and 5 step drops. I don't know what to say to anyone, I thought the staff woulda been able to fix the extra hitches, bad footwork and make progression on his line reading because of his intelligence... but....

It's Tepper. If it was up to Frank, he wouldn't have started game 1 or been named the starter to begin with. Well if it was up to Frank alone, I don't think he woulda been drafted to begin with... but I digress I don't think people actually understand how much he meddles with his coaching staffs and front office staff. Think Jerry Jones but worse because he gets into play call meetings

Beats the heck out of me. Lol it showed on his tape when I watched it and it wasn't mentioned by anyone. When I say show up, I mean 15+ times a game in college showing up.

I'll add this, his bad traits showing up and not having been fixed in training camp... Makes me question having him as my qb3. Maybe shoulda been qb5 or 6. I said it before the draft, trading up to #1 meant picking one of two qb's. AR because his floor is much higher than people think. His footwork is tons better than BY and it shows on tape. Or Stroud the player most ready to step in and play.

There was a reason he was my qb3 in the draft and it wasn't just his size. He also took a ton of pressure that he shouldn't have at Alabama. The reason it was all overlooked is NFL scouts try to get cute and think one trait can overcome a ton of issues in players. With Bryce that was his football mind. Which I question because of the extra pressure he cause while at Alabama.

He lead the draft eligible qb's with pressure, sacks and hits responsible for. His draft profile shows his frame and arm strength being below average. His profile also shows he struggles with timing concepts and plays well off schedule. If he's even remotely successful he will be the first sub 200 qb to do that and he will be the shortest successful qb in NFL history as well. So he would break the mold so much that he would accomplish two firsts on size alone.

Dalton ran the scheme just fine. It's the qb that Tepper drafted that's the issue with the playcalling and scheme fit. Not the headcoaches fault. Not the hc fault when the owner meets with you each week and demands you add to the playbook and scheme. . Dalton in one game, has 20% of the passing yards and 22% of the td's that Young has in 10 games. Frank's offense is timing based, take your steps and throw the ball. There is a reason why Bryce led all draft eligible qb's in pressure and sacks responsible for in the last draft.

Yea it's real and it's worse than I can explain. Just wait and see if other things from inside the building leak.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Reich was fired because Bryce was about to get benched after the last two games. Be damn what Tepper wanted. It wasn't some coaches, it was most of the offensive coaches involved. Reich, McCown, Brown and Staley. Couldn't really let Brown go, wouldn't have had enough staff on offense. So he got to stay.

Lie in public and coaches will talk behind your back to each other.

Canty mentioned on air that someone in the building texted him and told him that in the weekly meetings Tepper was demanding plays and schemes be added into that week's gameplan.

Of course it's coming, Tepper has someone at head coach that will listen and let him interject himself into gameplanning. Which he's been trying to do and word is its the reason frank took back playcalling because Thomas was listening to tepper on what plays to add for the week and schemes to add.

Reports coming out of the building that Tepper forced himself into game planning the last few weeks and demanded certain plays and schemes be used.

It was obvious on tape and it's why I had him as qb3 behind Stroud and AR. He lead all draft eligible qb's in qb generated pressure, hits and sacks. Meaning he was responsible for him getting pressured, hit and sacked more than any other draftable qb's and it wasn't close actually. All of his draft profiles mention his tendency to go off script and not throw on time. They all mention his arm strength and frame as well. It was widely known, scouts thought his brain and processing would make up for the above eventually. His tendency to go off script and wait longer than drop backs were designed for is also a reason his footwork looks so bad. 3 step and 5 step drops are mostly timing routes. Step , step , step, hitch and throw. Repeat for 5 step drops. They are also typically designed to go to one spot on the field with a quick read above or below the intial read. If not there hitch and checkdown or throw away. Watch his footwork during a game and you'll see what I mean. I still think he can be a good qb, but he needs more around him then Stroud or AR (if he stays healthy) will need to win.

I'm ok with the Mingo pick based on how the team is scouting with analytics. I wish they weren't so analytics driven though. Bryce needs a good team around him, he isn't going to elevate anyone, the offense they want to run with him from Alabama needs all-pro's outside at skill positions. I don't get why he was the number 1 qb prospect. All these things show up in his college tape. Bad footwork Doesn't throw on time and goes off schedule too much when it isn't needed. Bad reading of blitzes and where he needs protection. Small and thin Arm strength average None of that screams number 1 pick.

No, when the Vegas odds for the Panthers next coach went up Bill was on the list at like 5th or 6th best odds. He's also not the only person to mention it

2001 was completely ran by Jack Bushofsky and Hurney. even if no one wants to give Hurney any credit.

Young was my qb3 in the draft, I had Stroud and Richardson above him. Young had the highest floor but lowest ceiling ans it wasn't close. Add in the size issues on top of that and yea I don't see why he was qb1. Even his tape doesn't show qb1 in last years draft.

Ego.

Yea only for entertainment value.
