We need to find some WR help

All the overthrows except for the route where TMJ slowed up after beating his coverage (wtf?) were on Bryce. Seems like that was a problem all game and may be something he can correct. They didnt seem errant, just consistently long like he was overestimating the speed of the WR.

Of the 4 crossing routes I can rememeber passes thrown, all 4 were near picks. One completion that was dang near intercepted, and the two we know of. Why we were still going to that route in Q4 I have NO IDEA.

Serious question... is it the WRs or the routes? I was super unimpressed with where the receivers were on the field all game.

We have weak WRs overall.  And Bryce and the scheme isn’t going to threaten downfield that often.  So it allows a D to zone in on more predictable route targets IMO. 

If Bryce Young is your QB….you need quick dudes and dudes that can get quick separation.  We got basically zero of those types.   Mingo might become that but he is just a rookie.

I think you nailed it. It's funny because he's played for a million teams but watching this game today I was thinking about how even a guy like Brandin Cooks could help our team so much right now. We basically need someone that has a super quick and twitchy release that can reliably get open quickly on quick slant routes and such.

I was really really hoping Thielen would be our Next Proehl and Hurt our next Olsen. Thought Mingo might be sneaky fast and TMJ just needed his chance. It’s too early to say all of that isn’t possible but today was disheartening 

I mean Ricky Proehl’s  best season was 400 something yards here.  Ricky was a roleplayer.

This is one of the reasons I was confused we included DJ in the trade up for Bryce. If the reports are true that they would have taken Brown and 1st, that would have been a much better trade. Why you would include your WR1 in a trade for a rookie QB is baffling to me. That's counter productive to his development.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.

      I don't hate it but.....  eeeh it would take acquiring Kaprizov without giving up svech to make rod try Jarvis at 2C. Svechnikov/Aho/Kaprizov  Ehlers/Jarvis/Stankoven
