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?

    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.  
    • I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
