All people have to do is go watch him choke against the then 2-14 Jags that eliminated them from the playoffs.

Any coach is gonna be hard-pressed to win 4 games with this roster, top-to-bottom. I've noticed the angriest people are the usual suspects plus the people who expected 9-10 wins this season. I'm not sure there's 9 wins to be had combined between 2023 and 2024, and that's even as Young improves.

I think he showed some flashes but overall disappointing. Particularly the same mistake on the second INT. It's his first game, we should wait until mid season before analysing too much. 

One thing I will say is his demeanour. He was very calm, but almost to the extent he brought no energy to the game. Not sure how to really interpret it.

Bullsh*t. Wilks won more than that with less talent. That is the lamest excuse I've heard.

I thought Bryce looked okay for it being his real first day on the job. Nobody’s perfect on their first day and he definitely found out the hard way with those 2 picks. But he showed poise and maturity in there and will grow from here. 
 

Agree with everyone else on needing better weapons with some speed.

Not much dawg and his parents seem to be overbearing/sheltering him. I've been a little weirded out since the combine honestly. Also the coaching staff praising him since day one was super soft for me. Seems like Duce is the only coach with an edge and our running game still sucked

He is what this team lacks: an affordable power back.

I can agree power back was and is a need for this offense with a rookie QB. Hubbard is better than some people say here but why we were running him on 4th and 1 is perplexing. But Foreman alone isn't changing this offense. Either Reich and Brown have some kinks to work out or it just stinks altogether. In their defense this receiver core is mehhhhhhhhh. Trading DJ Moore may very well cost Fitterer his job. Among other gaffes.

I mean a big talking point for drafting this guy was that he was able to perform well with hardly anything around him. Now he needs weapons everywhere to succeed, if you the number 1 pick i expect to see some sort of ability to elevate everybody around you. Not this " i cant judge him until he has all weapons around him" stuff. Dont care to hear that, I mean that started before we even got to game 1. Its not even necessarily about winning when it comes to that, just show why you were drafted at that spot in these games with what you have around you. Like someone else said, didnt see one elite caliber play today. Maybe next week.

It will cost him his job when coupled with the grocery baggers he's given Young to throw to.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
