I love what we're hearing about Bryce but I also feel it needs to be said that his brain isn't the only reason he's a #1 pick. He also has incredible accuracy and touch. There are a lot of smart QB's that are career backups. I think there is a difference in understanding what is happening and having the ability to execute it on the field. Bryce has a skillset that allows him to take advantage of the weaknesses he sees. 

Granted he hasn't played a down yet in the NFL but thus far he's excelled for multiple reasons.

Watching him throw and seeing his anticipation and touch is unlike any QB I've watched on this team. He has a cerebral calmness in the pocket and delivers on time and on target just about every throw.

The Bryce hype train is getting a little crazy at this point

Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Everyone wants to be the first to have said it when he is absolutely great.

I disagree though, there (predictably) hasn't been much national coverage for Bryce. Anything posted in here has been teammates and guys connected to the team discussing him.

If you turn on NFLN they are mostly discussing Anthony Richardson and gassing him up. 

Bryce's hype is warranted given his resume.

Bingo this isn’t hype this is reality. This isn’t singing his praises it’s acknowledgment he is what we heard he was. All we’ve been hearing about are things his teammates and coaches are experiencing first hand there’s no extra hype being doled out. Rookies don’t usually ever run protection meetings there first week of training camp, rookies don’t usually take in and understand the playbook over the summer before camp. He’s just different he’s that computer that Steve spoke about after watching his individual workout there’s a reason he had the highest cognitive test score by far he understands football at a higher level then we are use to and his praises are a direct reflection of that knowledge.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
