AND I can't have a guy cower when asked to come and throw with all the other QBs and chooses to wimp out. Bad move.

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/bryce-young-combine-throwing-2023/

After reading THAT after other guys CAME OUT, PREPARED AND GAVE THE EFFORT to do so and one guy because of actual or perceived weakness chose willingly or from bad advice not to throw like CJ, Levi's, AR.

AR didn't hide due to perceived or actual accuracy issues. He came and threw like a man.

His people say he was healing up from injuries. I think the article above is more on target, which would be pathetic among competitive folk in my opinion.

Not a warrior mentality like Matt Corral who was actually showed up after being really injured and fought to complete the combine including showcasing his trade craft and he was still a little "hurt".

I'll tell ya secret, core strength and functional strength for tasks is different than weight room.  A 190 pound QB with a brain and good coaching can compete with a "adonis" on the field. Ever heard the phrase looks like Tarzan plays like Jane. Coaches know it. Combine warriors and gold medal winning underwear Olympics guys do happen. The mental game is part of the equation. Otherwise Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbery would still be playing QB somewhere. 

You can gather your 5'4, 5'10, 180, 125LB eric pages group and I will gather my 6'2, 6'5, 235, 315 adonis group on the football field under NFL rules. You would be curb stomp to the center of earth and the local city would run out of ambulances.

Young is a great QB, just had the bad luck of being born 100 year before he fit in with others. Odds are against, but there is a small chance hes very successful(NFL keeps making rules to project QBs).

It's not the size of the dog in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the DOG.  

Bob Sanders, Mike Singletary, Robert Mathis, Brian Burns, Sam Mills, Aaron Donald, Barry Sanders, Wes Welker, Tyrann Mathieu, Thomas Davis, Shaq Thompson, Steve Smith Sr,  Darren Sproles and many more were likely told at some point "Your too small for NFL" 

I'm officially on the Bryce Young wagon.  There is more to the game than measurables.  JaWarus Russell was a prototype size QB with a "cannon"   look up combine warriors.  Look up draft busts who were considered prototypes.  

I'm not saying I don't like CJ Stround.  I will be excited bout that pick too. BUT if it's levis or AR I will be worried bout our future.

Some people question the plan here. We don't have the assets to build around the number 1 pick and the talent base of this offense is literally the worst in the NFL. So maybe we will have a decent offense by Year 3 of Reich, but this 1st year is going to be rough and I'd hate to ruin a number 1 pick by having them throw to Shenault, Shi Smith, Terrace Marshall, and Ian Thomas. 

Think about that for a minute. It's quite literally the worst receiving group in the NFL and it isn't even close. Then we have Blackshear and Chubba under contract at running back.

Then we have a transition to a 3-4 defense coming. 

So people aren't upset, they just don't see how this is going to work in the foreseeable future. It reeks of Tepper wanting a cash cow to me. He wants to be noticed. That's it. It's not about winning because if it were, trading down amd developing the talent base of the entirety of the roster would've been the better move here. Could've had potential stars on the lines, tight ends, running back, edge rusher, safety, corner, etc. 

Now we traded all of that for one pick, along with DJ Moore...

So yeah. People are wondering how this is going to work.

we have an excellent young defense and offensive line, an A+ coaching staff and 150 million in cap next year alongside with good draft capital the next few years. What more can you want?

    • That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  Only Young can tell where that goes and everybody just has to wait for real football. That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of talking to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary. 
    • Good lawd, look at the amount of rotation required for a mere 40-yard pass. No wonder he needs a runway for any throw beyond 50 yards.  Can you think of any NFL quarterback today who has a weaker arm than Bryce? For reference, with a similar amount of hip rotation, Stroud slung the ball 69 yards. https://x.com/VatorSports/status/1728845724434186374 
    • I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.
