Agree about Bennett’s age. 
 

I still think he’s a better QB than AR right now. 

He is far from the better prospect though. Give Bennett Florida’s weapons and he would be an afterthought in the NCAA. He wouldn’t get drafted. Backup game manager is his ceiling. AR might have the highest ceiling in the draft.

Last night, Bennett was throwing with anticipation into windows that I see some NFL starters struggle to hit. I won’t disagree AR may have the better potential, but he’s pretty far from being the passer Bennett is.

Yeah, Bennett is 25 years old.  Which is older than I think 4 of the NFL playoff QBs this year.   Something about his age playing amongst college kids taints it me a little bit and takes some of the shine off it….at least for me.  
 

college football just in a weird space all around IMO so who cares.  Might as well deem it pro ball/ minor leagues. 

The combo of NIL, wild rampant transferring, and extra COVID years has just created a damn mess. I think the system will adapt in coming years but right now it does basically feel like minor league pro sports with no cap and no contracts. Basically just a poo show.

What an awful game. Absolutely no fun to watch at all if you wanted to see anything competitive. I have no idea how TCU beat Michigan as I feel like maybe Michigan would have put up a much better game even though I personally can't stand Michigan 

They should have seeded tcu 4 and osu 3. I knew this would be a 30 plus point blow out.  Only way to avoid that would have been me betting on uga to cover 12.5

I had forgotten about his age. That's another huge red flag for him.

I agree with college football being awful this year.  I don't agree with your analysis on Bennett's age.  It's not the movie Billy Madison where a full grown man goes around blocking the shots of third graders.  If you're saying he plays smarter because of his age then that's a good thing.  I wouldn't want the guy as a 1st round pick because of that age factor, but between rounds 3-5 it would be a great pick, and that's not an indictment on his ability to start at the next level.  Would you take him or Zach WIlson?

I don't think Bennett is an NFL starter but I wouldn't bet against him carving out a career as a backup.

I agree.  We've seen many back up QB's that we'd have never thought they could be on a NFL team .  When Taylor Heincke was at Old Dominion,  no one was saying he could be an NFL QB. There are examples all over the NFL of QB's  making teams and actually contributing . Kurt Warner.. many.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
