If we all agree JNo's best assets are his QB reading instincts, is it possible a team like Washington would work it into their scheme to allow him to free roam/gamble more?

Our team is built heavily on scheme.. but maybe there is a better way they are thinking of using him?

I know they also run a bunch of zone.

 

Im not sure with how their other corners or safeties are rated.. but I think that would be the best use of his 15m salery.

Is that possible? It'd be fun to try to scheme that up.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Yes, his best assets are his ability to read and react. That's why he's a great zone CB. That's what zone defense generally asks of a CB. He isn't great in man coverage because despite what a lot of Panthers fans think and what I tried to argue until I was blue in the face, he's a below average athlete for an NFL CB. Zone hides that. Asking him to cover one on one man style exposes that.  Gettleman was offering him great money for a zone CB. The Redskins paid him like an elite man cover guy and that's not what he is. Zone CBs are to the secondary what a run stuffing DT is to the DL. They're valuable pieces, but they aren't as valuable as elite man cover guys just like run staffers are valuable pieces but they aren't as valuable as elite pass rushers. Elite pass rushers and shutdown man CBs are the guys who make elite money on defense. It's why Short is gonna make a lot more money on his next deal than Star. The Redskins got a great player in Norman, but they overpaid big time for his particular skill set. If they're smart, they'll just accept that and let him play his zone role and not try to force him to be something he isn't. If they're dumb, they'll try to force him to be a shutdown man CB and he'll be a huge FA bust.

Ah hell, let's hope they're dumb. Norman is gonna make a ton of money from them no matter what. If they're dumb and force him into a role where he won't excel, maybe they'll cut him and we can get him back at a discount. A man can dream, right?

Just the poo about Captain Kirk says all you need to know about the Washington Redskins...they build around the defense, just ass-backwards...

The cluster-fyck that the Panthers have never fallen for. 

See you back in 2 years JNo. Not mad.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
