Chad Ford is a tool. This guy uses his reputation to stir up fan bases to pressure front offices to choose the player he told them they should want, improving his odds of "being right."

 

All 2012 he was beating the drum about how the Bobcats should pick MKG, stirring the pot, so of course the buzz was all about MKG, with fans making up their minds that they wanted MKG, and since Charlotte was all about MKG, there you have it. He was high on the Bobcats' list, he'd just won the title (because Kendall Marshall was injured), and since Charlotte wanted MKG, it was an easy decision for the Hornets despite his offensive limitations. 

 

Anyone who doesn't think the media understands the power it has to shape public perception, and as a result, decision-making and outcomes, doesn't understand much.

Didn't Kentucky beat a Kendall Marshall lead UnC team early that year?

At Rupp, and barely, on a last second blocked shot. On a neutral court, odds are a more experienced UNC team, that was on a mission, would've steamrolled them.

Against a team full of Freshman who by the end of the year was a much better team.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
