I agree his coverage issues are overblown, but no way can he be a single high FS in the NFL

there is nobody overblowing Landon's coverage issues as a zone LB/in-the-box-only-"S" in the middle of the field between the hashmarks. Landon himself says the same thing: "I can cover from the middle of the field to the numbers," he said. (he just straight up told you that he can't cover sideline-to-sideline, which is no surprise based on his crappola shuttle time, all he can be safely expected to do is hold down a little zone square over the middle while we pray they don't throw it there)

and people are worried he can't even do that well in the Major League but they are much much more worried about his man-to-man coverage ability. Everyone agrees he will get roasted by slot WRs which makes him a complete liability when going against OCs not named Shula, and especially on passing downs. Most agree he will get roasted by athletic TEs/RBs and there is a 50/50 opinion if he could cover scrub receiving TEs/RBs

People overblow his issues in coverage, he can cover. Play single high and in the box

I think he can cover in certain zones, but forgetaboutit one-on-one.

I'll give him above average football smarts too. But him vs slots/#1TEs is a 9-1 match up.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
