You’re just trolling his size had no impact on his play and his arm looked strong. 

His arm looked strong?   I get he understands the game and is a quick processor but that’s a borderline nfl arm.  Who in the nfl has a weaker arm?

 

brees made it work the back part of his career so hopefully we can do the same with young

Every complaint people have about Young (size / borderline NFL arm strength / ability to see the middle of the field) was abundantly clear on his College tape. 

I'm still amazed we made the pick.

Shenault needs more touches. He’s the Luvu of the offense. 
 

bryce looks poised. Think he became over cautious after second pick. First pick was just a good play by the safety. 
 

burns and brown made the falcons offense one dimensional in the first quarter, and kept it up until the turnovers caught up with them. Even better, brown really stood out yesterday. They stopped running his way until the end of the game. And he LOOKS the part now too. When he was walking out of the tunnel he just looked bigger. 
 

that’s honestly about it. Those were two bad teams going at it; the falcons just realized they needed to run and did it.

Problem is Shenault is a bad WR.  That happens to be really good with the ball in his hands.  You can only scheme him up so much.  

But yeah, he might be the best on the team with the ball in his hands

I thought they had a good start to the game, in particular the first drive. I love that they went for it on 4th and 1 despite getting stopped.

I thought Bryce looked good, all things considered. It was his first real NFL game, it was in a hostile environment, it's a new offense with a retooled OL and WR's who couldn't get separation. I was disappointed in the interceptions, especially the second one...but he's a rookie. 

I must have missed the scouting report that listed a cannon for an arm. I think we all knew that's not what we were getting. He made a couple of deep throws that showed his arm is plenty big enough to stretch the field. I'd rather have a highly accurate QB with an average arm than a cannon who misses open targets.

Biggest disappointment by far was the self inflicted wounds. Three turnovers, some boneheaded flags...just looked undisciplined.

Again, it's Game 1 and we knew this was going to be a long process.

U kidding me? I didn’t see any wounded ducks back there, if anything the deep attempts to TMJ and Mingo was evidence he can throw it deep on a rope when needed without too much air.   If he comnects on just one of those your whole argument falls apart.  
 

Who has a weaker arm?

Mac Jones, Tua, Brock Purdy, Jimmy G. to start?

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
