What would it take for Rivera and McDermott to put in Young?

I actually just posted this in another thread but its more suited for this one. 

Cortland Finnegan is my biggest worry. Wilson picked on him the entire second half. He just doesn't seem to have it anymore and the speed of AZ receivers are gonna eat him up. He doesn't seem at all fast and he doesn't finish plays which is one of the reasons Luke lit into him yesterday. At this point would it be better to send out Lou Young for some plays. He has no game tape on him and he can at least run a sub 5.0 40 yd dash. Teams would obviously go after him but thats what they are already doing with Finnegan. I know you cant make changes for such a big game but is the reward worth the risk?

Yeah because Kearse was on McClain all game (for the most part) and Kearse finished with 110 yards and two TDs.  Young couldn't of done any worse.  

You can't put all 110 yards and two TDs on McClain. At least 20 yards and one TD was on Norman misplaying that ball in the end zone. 

Finnegan is the concern, especially with Fitzgerald in the slot.

All of that wasn't on McClain. I mean, he completed for a guy who hasn't really had the chances to do anything. I highly doubt that a guy who hasn't even practiced with the 1s yet is going to so better, especially going into a game where he has to defend Fitz or Floyd.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

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

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
