Predicting Bryce Young's rookie year

He better not, that was the main selling point on him, that his processing and mental side of the game were next level and more ready than any other QB in recent memory from that standpoint.

His negatives were his size and durability (nothing to do there but not get hurt) and that he doesn't have any truly elite physical traits (i.e. arm strength, speed, etc).  Those are things that can just tank him as a QB if he can't prove them wrong, but the whole thing with him is that his mental side of the game was supposed to be so good, that those things shouldn't be issues for him.

Sure, some early mistakes, but that better not be where he struggles or it will be concerning as that's what he's supposed to be so good at figuring out and overcoming.  I'll take it the first half of the season, but if that's an issue late in the year, that's scary.

He's a rookie.

I'm thinking the realm of 3700 yards. 24 tds. 14 interceptions.  Probably 300 yds rushing a 3 rushing tds...

Rookie QBs struggle and this would be a good start. Id hope for a good run/pass ballance as Reich  and Brown have spoke of.

2800 yrds in 14 games

21 td - 9 int

64.5% passing (his senior yr number)

He will miss games for little injuries

Low td numbers are expected I also belief he is good in terms of ints so 9 is vwry very good number for a rookie.  His td number will be conservative...more running tds and grpund game will be more featured, especially in thw first half the season.

Peyton Manning is probably the most cerebral QB we've seen and his rookie season was littered with interceptions.

There's an adjustment period for all players, even really talented 1st round picks

Different era, Manning played at the height when defenses dominated and were allowed to do so by the rules

This. Offenses have evolved. The new wave of Elite Qb’s show they are elite from the jump. The only Qb that improved was Josh Allen. However Mahomes, Burrow, & Herbert each threw 66%, and had no more than 12 interceptions in their first year as a starter. 
 

Pat Mahomes: 66%, 5,000+ pass yards, 50 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, rating of 113.8 (2018)

Joe Burrow: 65%, close to 2800 pass yards, 13 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, rating of 89.8 in 10 games started (2020)

Justin Herbert: 67%, 4300+ pass yards, 31 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, rating of 98.3

 

These players had the same statistical profile as Bryce coming out of college & it translated well to the league.

Its Young's rookie season.  I expect him to be better than what we've had recently  and to outperform the other rookie QBs, but its very unlikely he'll be all pro this season.

Trevor Lawrence   was  3641  yards 12 TD's  17 Ints his rookie year.

I'm hoping Young does better than that his rookie year.

Yeah that was with an awful HC.

Even if Young has a bad first year... I will remember Peyton Manning's first year and Trevor Lawrence helps drive recency bias.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
