Please add thoughts about the best player in the draft.  Jesus...it is like this guy was perfect in the best league in college football.  He went to the natty and won it from behind.  Damn,  if he is Peyton Manning or better he is worth all picks for us?  His film is ridiculous.

But is it the player or the system?? He wasn't that player the year before..

I mean, you can honestly make a very compelling argument that he had the best single year in college football ever.

Everyone wants to put it all on the system, but then...

That's what impresses me about Burrow. He keeps his head about him and while he may not have Brett Favre's arm, the guy seems to be able to deliver the ball the same no matter what whether he's set in the pocket and able to step up or running for his life throwing back across his body like you're not supposed to ever do. I mean, that's a 40 yard throw across his body while on the run. I don't want to hear that this guy doesn't have an arm.

OL actually did a good job.  There was really one guy pressuring him but looks like two then he threw in almost triple coverage.  Safety was completely lost and another CB never turned his head around.

Did it work or not? The difference between an elite franchise QB and a JAG is the ability to make the plays you're not supposed to be able to make. You don't coach guys to make the types of plays that Cam made in his prime, that Aaron Rodgers makes, that Patrick Mahomes makes. You either can or you can't.

If this QB is Peyton Manning he is worth our draft.  Just don't want him to die in Cincy.

He had a very solid team around him which helped him and his success.  Will be different story in Cincy.  That OL blows.

I'm not convinced he goes to Cincy. I think they might Eli their way outta there. That organization has zero desire to field a winning team and they'd just drafting them to ride his hype for a little while.

I added my previous comment.  I have seen other college QBs make amazing plays in college just took come to NFL and fall flat.  I’m not saying he will be bad QB in NFL, I just don’t think he will be Manning like.

Peyton manning was Peyton manning  all thur college not just 1 season...

How can we blame the player for being a one year guy when he was only in that system one year? The previous offense that LSU was running would've had John "a punt is not a bad play" Fox begging for a little more offensive aggression.

If the over/under is Peyton Manning, yeah I'll take the under.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
