Just what we needed… Pickett to have a good game so Tepper can walk into Monday’s meeting with Rhule and Fitterer and claim that he should have more say in who we draft.

no its more of "help me understand the process......."   basically every other rookie qb showed promise but what are we doing here

Pickett does everything just good enough and we saw that last night. Nothing is going to “wow” anyone but his skill set will play in this league. The value with Pickett is having a QB like him on a rookie deal. 

Although with most of these new QB contracts, QB’s like Pickett might soon be the play. Grab a guy who is the most pro ready and take advantage of building a really good team around them during that 5 year window

Folks, most other teams in the league have far better 3-6th stringers than us. Half our starters wouldn’t start on most other teams. I wouldn’t judge too early our rookie qb vs the others. 
 

Some teams also played their first string defenses yesterday while others were mostly backups. It’s game one of preseason.

I mean, you might just be onto something here.

The Pats basically did the same thing with Mac Jones last year and the Pats and Steelers are two of the very best ran organizations in the league.

I don't know if Pickett will be a star, but the "wow" factor is overrated.  What makes a qb a star is being cool and making accurate throws or decisions under pressure.  And that is something that won't really be known until he starts playing in actual games.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
