he's like an AI QB. knows what reads to make and tries to throws receivers open but it's way too obvious. like watching a robot; "MAKE READ, TURN HEAD, THROW BALL BEFORE RECEIVER OPEN" real players can read that like a book, which Bates did twice. 

Yeah it was awful when he went 6/6 and drove us down the field for a Td in the first half.  Hate seeing that kind of methodical play that results in points.

unfortunately one good drive in the beginning of the game won't cut it in this league Kemosabe

Aside from the two bad INTs he looked okay. Not great, not terrible. Just okay. The miss deep from the 1 was tough. You have to hit that throw at this level. Mingo (I think it was Mingo) was NFL wide open with two steps on the DB and Bryce was in a clean pocket. You HAVE to hit on that.

What disappointed me is when you make the type of huge move we made to get a guy you're wanting to at least see a few splash plays that make you think "Okay, yeah that was special. I see why this is a guy we felt like we had to go all in on." I just didn't see any of those types of plays. I still see a guy with very marginal NFL physical tools who is going to have to be NFL Einstein level intelligent (and likely surrounded by a top tier supporting cast) to be special.

It was literally visible on his face multiple times. Maybe rattled is a poor word to use but very, very clearly frustrated most of the game. That was very obvious.

I mean, we all were frustrated. Young couldn't find anyone open to get the ball, and he probably knew he was gonna get blamed for that (as he continues to get blamed for it). If he didn't lob it out of bounds, we'd be blaming the OL for 8 sacks, when it was really just good coverage of slow WRs and TEs.

He didn’t look great today, but he’s a Rookie in his first ever NFL game. I think (as always in life) the truth lies somewhere in the middle between the homer bias of “he looked good today” and the pessimistic take of “he’s a bust after 1 game.”

Personally, I had 3 main takeaways. 
 

1) Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I think the first pick happened because of his height. He started getting swallowed by the OL and I’m not convinced he could see the exact situation he was throwing into. He had too many 6’6” trees a foot away. Bates baited him well. Rookies throw picks, though. It’s going to happen.

2) I’m more concerned about the 2 missed deep bombs. You just have to hit those. Period. Those are game breaking plays and honestly could’ve turned the tide so that the picks didn’t matter in the end.

3) Bryce needs time to gain chemistry with the receivers. There were a handful of times they just didn’t break when/how he expected them to. That’s not really as concerning to me because I think it’ll get cleaned up easily with more live game reps.

I guess Bryce “looking rattled” is the new “cam has a towel on his head”.

both those things are ok.  

Let’s judge Bryce in December.  Then we will know if he’s growing or not . Till then just relax and stop trying to decide after 1 game. No one knows.

Clearly rattled? When?

People just pulling made up crap out of their azz at this point.

Yes, The Rookie Bryce wasn’t perfect.

He did throw 2 ints.  The others, the WRs couldn’t get separation.

 

Lets not act like the other rookie QBs didn’t have a great day either.

Stroud had 0 TDs and lost a Fumble.

And the Mega Man Richardson threw a int and despite him being the opposite of our tiny QB that some swear can’t hold up.  Richardson couldn’t even make it out of 1 NFL game without getting hurt.

All 3 QBs lost as well.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
