I'd forgotten that people like the draft more than the games. You all wanting to compromise the season before training camp begins to talk draft order already.....sigh

Nope. I'm not a draft guy or an intentional tank guy. It's just that a Kyle Allen can get you a Teddy Bridgewater or a Derrick Brown, but a Jimmy Clausen can get you a Cam Newton. 

I'm half joking, but if Sam busts here, I'd just as soon have a top 5 pick next year.

Teddy wasn't moved on from simply because of arms strength but because of timidness and not executing the offense as Rhule and Brady wanted. 

Tom Brady doesn't have a huge arm but he has always been aggressive and a good downfield thrower despite not having a prototypical hug arm. 

Bridgewater isn't the worst qb but it isn't a question he lacked arm strength on the deep passes. I certainly can't recall him overthrowing our speedsters last year.

Yeah...not true.

Bridgewater's arm was never the issue. The problem was that he didn't have the courage to make risky throws when he needed to.

Walker's touchdown to interception ratio shows that he definitely has the courage, just not the accuracy.

Whatever you say.

Watch that Vikings game last year, beautiful play action missed DJ wide open. We would've won had we kept pounding. But going against his former team, if felt like the coaches wanted him to win that game with his arm.

Teddy ain't got the heart...I mean he didn't have that killer instinct.

I really don't know what happened to Teddy honestly. I don't think he ever had the arm strength to be a Top10 QB in the NFL or anything like that, but it never felt like he was afraid in college to make the passes.

Part of me thinks it's not that he is afraid to make the passes, it's that he knows he can't make them, and he knows what he can make, so he doesn't over-extend himself. Which is great until you need those longer passes down the field with the game on the line. 

He could make those passes in college (and boy was it fun!), because the speed wasn't there of the NFL game. And now it's there and he doesn't make them because he knows it's more bust than boom with his arm strength. 

And of course he missed some passes, which everyone seems to jump all over him for, but every QB misses those passes once in a while. It's just way more obvious and frustrating when you miss them when you're not making other plays to make up for it.

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

      LOL! We have ourselves a funny one over here.

      Would you trade Derrick Brown to get a top QB prospect?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      That’s why I love Jake and always will.  He was so fuging gritty and definitely was a gunslinger.  Like a not-quite-poor-man’s Brett Favre.  Like an economy version lol.  He was damn good.  Yeah, he’d throw a pick here or there, but more often than not, I trusted Jake.  He’d make some throws that really made you think, “damn, he’s even better than I thought.”  I loved that he loved to gamble, but more importantly, he gave his guys a fuging chance to make a play.  When people have been criticizing Tet for drops, it pisses me off, because they say it like these are some gimmes that he’s dropping.  but, at about 6’5”, if your whole body is moving one way and you have to stop or slow down to come back to a ball thrown behind you, or low, that poo is not easy.  Bryce isn’t really giving him a chance, and I can see why he’s dropping them.  Versus if you look at this highlight reel of Moose: at about halfway through is when Jake stepped in.  The passes he was throwing are CRAZY.  There’s multiple passes in there where he is throwing across his body while running the opposite way - and he still had the strength to get it on target.  Then there’s the throws where he lasers it in a spot only the receiver could get it - seam routes, out routes, over the top. The longer you watch, the more obvious it is that so many of these (what should be basic) throws are completely absent from our offense with Bryce.  There was a play today where he started to scramble, kept looking, looking, looking, then just threw it into the ground near the receiver.  Let them make a fuging play.  His best pass of the day?  The long one to Tet?  If you re-watch it. About 10-15 yards further downfield, XL smoked his man on a post route.  You get maybe 3 chances at that a game usually, and when you don’t even attempt it when it’s there?  That poo is so demoralizing.  I can’t wait for Bryce’s time here to be fuging over.  If they cut him tomorrow I would feel free.  I would feel like I just won the fuging powerball.  If they signed Heineke, Perkins, White, PJ Walker, or Hooker to start the rest of the year, I would be fuging ecstatic like we just trotted Cam out for the first time.  That how fuging life-sucking Bryce is as the QB.

      A historical perspective on just how statistically bad Bryce Young as a passer this season.

      Aren't they about the same size too? Why TF are teams all of sudden drafting these small ass QBs that have an EXTREMELY low hit rate at an already extremely low hit rate position?
