I was like, "Where have I heard that name before?" Then, @rodeo posted the Texans video, and I was like, "Oh yeah, this is a guy that I had put on my watchlist for fantasy purposes that never broke out despite being supposedly talented and so much bigger than everyone else."

As for being a red zone threat, I've heard that before too. Bill gave up on him (not O'Brien, who gave up on him too, the other one):

Sorry, guys, I can't get excited until I consistently see something excited to get about. I'd rather try Ebron.

NEGATIVES

—Position changes led to him being behind in terms of fundamentals at tight end.

—For being a massive tight end, he doesn't play or test strong (16 reps on the bench press).

In 4 years bouncing around the NFL and XFL with professional trainers, these shouldn't still be issues. Let's see what he's got.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
