He doesn’t piss me off at all. He just does nothing for me. He never dominated in college. His numbers were good-ish. But he was a lame-duck pick. He’s likely never going to get a chance to show what he can do in the pros unless whatever team he’s on has a slew of injuries. 
 

He had a fast throwing motion but it’s not like the kid ever really lit it up in college either. The year he threw 29 TDS he also threw 14 INTs. Oof. Then his senior year he only threw 20 despite throwing more passes. 

Yeah but stats out of context are bullshit. If you just went off stats, Bryce Young fell off hard his last year.

 

1500 less yards. 15 less passing touchdowns. Lower completion percentage. 
 

Sam Howell was murdered for lesser stats, Bryce wasn’t. 
 

But there is context that explains it. 
 

So you have to dive in, and not just look at stats. Or at least if you look at raw stats…treat everyone the same way.

Oh, trust me, I get it. I'm not enamored with the guy, either, but it was the Panthers who selected and signed him, not the other way around. That's all I'm saying.

Hey, if he thinks he's got a better opportunity to get his shot, and he needs to move on, the oblige him.

Corral was a 3rd round qb in an atrocious qb draft class, and he fits the bill for just that.  He has a nice release, but does not know what to do under center.

I treating it's still considered an "atrocious" QB class when there are at least three QBs drafted last year who are almost certainly going to be starting this year and quite possibly four depending on what the Pats do with Mac Jones.

I am still blown away how so many people are sure that Corral has no future in the NFL based on a training camp where we had two "first stringers" in a "competition" for a completely crap coaching staff.  Followed by 20 plays in the fourth quarter of the first preseason game.  Really?

Look, I expect Corral isn't anything special, but for heavens sake, let's see what this staff can do with him.  Who know, maybe he gets coached up, looks good in preseason and we can flip him for a draft pick.

And how many of those three are contenders? Falcons? Nope. Commanders? Nope. Steelers? Ehh not likely. It was a bad class, man.

How many teams starting second year QBs are ever considered contenders? 3-4 QBs penciled in as starters going into the second season is pretty damn good.

If that's the criteria, then every draft is a pretty damn good QB draft. The vast majority of QBs drafted are not given up on after only one season, especially from rounds 1 and 2. That does not mean they're good QBs. Sam Darnold started his second season. Mitch Trubisky started his second season. Trey Lance started his second season.

Which coincides perfectly with what I said about last year's QB class. It stacked up pretty much on par with recent history outside of having any guys considered slam dunk top tier prospects. Which of those descriptions seems more accurate with 3-4 guys likely to start in year two? What I said or "atrocious"? The NFL undervalued that class.

I just don't think you can say it's a good class just because there are three(?) starters in year two, especially when you look at the context of why each one is starting. Is Howell even going to start over Brissett? Debatable. We're really only looking at Ridder and Pickett as locked in starters. And if those are the guys you're gonna hang your hat on to call it a good class, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree.

I'm saying it validates what I always said about that class. It's a fairly standard QB class and everyone was acting like it was atrocious because it lacked guys who were viewed as elite top tier prospects. An atrocious class wouldn't have 3-4 guys expected to start in year two. That fanbase and locker room in DC will revolt if Brissett starts over Howell

It wasn’t just that MC2 fell off. It’s that he never was great.

I pitched last week we should offer him straight up for Malik Willis. Not that TN has Levis there is no path forward for Malik.

I can't stand when professional athletes act like this on social media.  64 dif QBs started last year in the NFL. When your backing up a 5'11 200lb NFL QB chances are your playing at some point.

Dude needs to focus at the task on hand.....Win everyday and be ready always. Don't be a cry baby be a fn winner.

    • I didn't say it was all on one player and only about winning and losing. But you also want your team to at least have something to build on from losses. Something positive to look back at and say hey we didn't win last week but we had a couple of decent drives to finish the game. Instead of getting your poo pushed in for 4 quarters by a team missing their starting QB. Why do you feel the need to pull our only MVP in franchise history into this? We aren't talking about Cam Newton. Different player different athlete different vibe different everything. That guy went to a Super Bowl with Ted Ginn Jr as his #1 WR. Nobody is expecting Bryce Young to be Cam Newton. But we're certainly expecting him to be more of a leader than someone like Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater who let's be honest were both a couple of milquetoasts. Especially when you consider that Bryce's leadership ability was 1b to the 1a of his processing ability as the key selling points of selecting him first overall. And I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with you trying to draw a correlation between simply asking for our #1 pick to spend more time this offseason building a rapport with his receivers and people basically saying CJ Stroud has a low football IQ or poor leadership or low character because of his father or that he's a diva because he didn't attend Peyton Manning's QB camp or because he went to an event wearing one piece of jewelry around his neck instead of sitting at home doing nothing until draft night. Bryce Young has already been afforded the benefit of the doubt before and following the draft. Certainly moreso than CJ Stroud was. And that is a fact. He is now facing the biggest test of his life as an athlete. I sincerely hope he responds and brings an edge this season. But so far I haven't seen anything to indicate that since finishing with one of the worst rookie seasons of the last few decades he's done much to alter his approach to development that he has operated with since high school and college. Some other QB's who already have the necessary physical traits to overcome other lacking areas might be able to get by without doing that. But unfortunately Bryce Young is already an outlier among outliers. He does not have that built in physical advantage. If he is going to succeed he's really going to have to put in extra work. Yes that involves forms of leadership. That's all I ask. I keep telling you this and explaing it from different angles but you keep trying to circle back to trying to portray me as hating or unfairly placing expectations on him like he's a newborn child and that might work on a social media site speaking on his behalf but it isn't going to matter to any of the defenses he's going to be facing in 17 regular season games next year who already have the majority of a season worth of game tape on him. I feel like I've said all I can. I don't see it necessary to derail this thread any further.
