Bryce Young called a “mental savant”

People laughed when I said Bryce Young will be the best QB in this division as a rookie. They laughed when I said we would win the NFC South this year. They laughed when I said Bryce Young will establish himself as a top 3 QB in the NFC by the end of the season. They laughed when I said the franchise is destined for greatness with Young at QB. They laughed when I said Bryce Young would be the #1 pick over CJ Stroud. They laughed at me all over this board. Everything I have said has come true.

 

 

Keep laughing...

Nothing you've said has come true. Dude hasn't even taken a snap in Preseason.

So I suppose I'll continue to laugh until the time comes. "If you want to anoint their ass.."

Uhh, I wouldn't describe this board as 97% pro-Bryce predraft. 

 

I know, right. There's a bit of revisionist history going on in this thread. I remember when the OP was leaning towards Stroud. He came around though. He never jumped all-in on the Young hate-train though. I will give him that.

It's amusing seeing folks argue about who loved Bryce Young before anyone else. One of the main ones didn't even hop on the Young wagon until the vegas odds fully shifted toward him. Maybe take a step outside in the sunlight from time to time guys.

Yeah.   Some of them truly live in their own little world.

I'll admit that I was always 100% a Stroud guy, right up until they announced Bryce as the pick and then I turned to backing our guy (and just praying his frame can hold up to a 10+ year career).

Pre-trade I wanted Stroud first, AR second, and Bryce third.  

Once we made that trade it eliminated AR from my board, but was still Stroud first with Bryce a distant second.  

His mental side of the game was the only reason I was ever going to be accepting of him as the pick, as it always was known that he was truly special in that regard.  But I'll never stop being concerned about his frame holding up (and no, has nothing to do with height).

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
