Jeff Saturday... he's against the Panthers for the most part for whatever reason

Didn't we cut him at some point? Either way it was a stupid commitment because both NO and the Panthers are better than the Falcons. I mean NO basically lost there whole team that game. Take Julio Jones away and the Falcons crumble.

It is very simple. 

He CLEARLY was talking about the dos and don’ts of playing QB.  Every coach he has had told him not to make the Funchess pass.  His current coach still will not praise the decision.  Bad things happen more times than not. 

Cam was talking about THAT throw.  He did the opposite of what he is coached.  His current coach still won’t acknowledge it as a good decision despite the result.

This is and was the only take. Thus thread not needed unless it had sparked controversy...or he confirmed that he meant the way we would've meant it.

He was referring to one play where he threw across his body to the other side of the field for a touchdown to funchess. He said "overcome coaching " cause every QB and coach knows throwing across the field like that usually ends up in interceptions. This wasn't referring to any of the Panthers coaches. Just up Football coaches in general.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
