his left hand is covering up part of the ball because the ball has already passed him.... Tom Brady wouldnt get this kind of defense on an errant pass...  If you want to believe that this was on the RB ... go ahead... its assinine, but go ahead.

I don’t think it was on the RB. Most RBs can’t make that high catch. It was overthrown. If you watch the actual video you can see it get deflected off his hands though. Then the commentator actually says it got deflected off Montgomery’s hands. Your picture is misleading is all I’m saying, but I think you know that.

i wasnt trying to lead to anything with that photo... the point of the photo was to show that the ball is way over the dump offs head.. and should never ever have been deemed as a "catchable" ball by any party.

Pretty much. Then used his 1 INT as proof he can’t read a defense…. He needs work as a passer, but that’s getting just silly.

thats not at all what I did... I called out that his last pass was an INT, while alluding to the fact that protecting the ball is an issue he has had since he came into the league.

 

but go ahead make this a thing.

so weird watching these posters who watch these games hoping to see these players make a mistake (and obsessing over every one) because they so desperately want to avoid drafting a QB

(or draft some mid round future backup they “discovered”)

This^^. Evolving opinions based on evolving play be damned, some just want to bash when the opportunity is given. 

I've been lurking here and decided to join in on this prospect talk, it's just silly.  And now we're dissecting a single throw by Justin Fields lol.  

We should all want to see ALL of these guys looks as awesome as possible, it's only for our benefit to have some great QBs to choose from.  I want Levis to look better, I want Richardson's accuracy to improve, I want Stroud to look absolutely perfect.  It's as if some are actually more intent on having hard-lined unwavering stances and being right about it, waiting for the second to say a guy blows. 

Stroud had some really damn nice anticipation throws today, great moments, had a bad end of game.  That's really it. 

Showed strong ability, lived up to his hype, the D fell apart, and he couldn't will the team downfield and made some mistakes at the end. It doesn't mean he's #1, doesn't mean he's not worth it either.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
