So this is supposed to be our new QB

Honestly I wouldnt even care about Young's size but watching him have to run into a 50 yard thrown ball, that cuts out a a huge option of deep balls. No one will respect that Safeties will break up sooner if the balls not thrown. I'm trying to get behind it but it looks like Mayfield fans calling for this, He just has it! Does he?

To be honest, that is the one thing that seems the most concerning to me. Seeing him needing to jump/run up to throw deep was eye opening.  I would be curious to know if it adds a second on the time it takes for him to throw the ball from a crowded pocket.

The first pass was this past season, the receiver clearly has to slow down on his route to catch the ball and ends up getting tackle before goaline because of it. 

Second pass was back in 2021 when he was definitely slinging it a lot harder and hitting guys in stride. He wasn't throwing like that this past season. No zip, velocity   and balls were hanging in the air way to much to where receivers had to adjust on routes for catches.

Yeah we should get a 6 foot 5 QB who is built like a DE. He will definitely last many years in the nfl with that body type just like Cam did. Meanwhile look at how long Drew Brees played in the league 

Drew Brees was 3 inches and 25 lbs heavier than Young.

Let that sink in

Same. The size debate has drowned this out but his arm strength should be the real concern. A lot of folks talk as if Bryce's passing is better than CJ's in every aspect and it's just not the case with the deep ball. 

His accuracy and playmaking ability will cover for him by forcing defenses to stay honest so I don't think it'll be as bad Bridgewater where we had to practically abandon the deep ball. He can throw deep, just slowly. It'll be important for our recievers to be able to win 1-on-1s on the deep floaters.

Yes, will likely need to have an offensive line that gives him enough time and receivers that get quick separation so that he can throw the ball within the 3 second average.

    • 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.
