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.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
