This is very cool, hard to not get too excited. When is the next minicamp? 

I believe Rookie Mini-camp starts May 11th?  Itll be our first opportunity to see BY throw in a Panthers jersey!

When you can’t rely on athleticism you have to be the smartest guy in the room. I’m so excited to see this guy play at an high level in the NFL. Undersized backup NBA playoffs make the best coaches for the same reason. 

I mean its not like Bryce is a bad athlete or something....yeah hes not Anthony Richardson or Lamar Jackson, but hes not Matt Ryan or Philip Rivers either (athletically speaking, if hes as good a QB as those guys were set).

Biggest concern is obviously that he gets broke with regular concussions like Tua or just breaks down and retires early like Andrew Luck….hopefully Reich has a plan to mitigate that from the luck experience 

Is there even a correlation between size and concussion risk?  On the surface it doesn't seem to make sense that being bigger protects your brain from jostling around inside your skull.  The only thing that I could maybe rationalize is that a smaller player might be more likely to be "rag-dolled" and slammed into the ground harder by a bigger opponent.  But largely speaking, I would have a tough time buying into a player's size being a concussion risk factor.  Cam, Luke, and Michael Oher were all giants (or at least of healthy size) at their respective positions and all experienced multiple serious concussions.  It is known that once you suffer your first concussion, you're at a higher risk for future concussions, but other than that it seems like they're entirely random and unpredictable.

Super impressive by Young. And I'm very encouraged that the coaching staff was able to recognize the maturity and awareness the play required. If guys starting in the NFL have never made that call, and he did it as a college freshman in garbage time, it tells you a lot about Young's approach to the game. Every play matters, every call matters, every opportunity matters. And he wants to get it right.

When you've been watching Darnold and Mayfield struggling to do the same, yes, it's something to be excited about. 

I am excited about watching our new franchise QB Bryce Young, a player that proves a lot of winning football games starts above the shoulders and not just  the arms and legs.

This is one of those minor yet really important things.  Seems simple enough but we haven't had a Center-QB combo that could effectively communicate and call out protections and make solid presnap judgements since 2018.

You saw the boost when Bozeman replaced Elflein, and he helped our lackluster QBs make some good calls.  But now having both a QB and Center capable of effectively making presnap reads is huge.  Bozeman & Young being here and developing a report is awesome.  

Haven't had that since Cam-Kalil.  It was one of Cam's more underrated traits IMO.

That particular concern doesn't go away now that he's drafted.

Just the opposite, it becomes very real.

Obviously we all hope it doesn't manifest into anything, but it's not going away.

I think that it will go away if he stays mostly healthy this first season.

he's got to tamper our expectations. that's his mission in life, to help us put the brakes on our excitement because Young or really any other QB taken at the top of this draft or any other draft isn't really worth the selection because you can get a Tom Brady in every draft.

really he's just a miserable person in here.

I mean it took him months to realize Harrison Jr wasn’t draft eligible after 20 plus people told him. So that’s what we are dealing with here…

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
