Same. Teddy, Darnold, and even PJ had better games than Bryce did today. 
 

I believe Bryce is better than all those guys, but he didn’t show it today. 
 

Let’s not pretend today was something better than what it was. If Bryce is a “super computer” like hyped to be, he will watch the tape, learn, and grow. 
 

Too early in this young man’s career to give up, but let’s call a spade a spade today. 

And other QBs looked like hot garbage. Burrow was benched.  Let’s judge Bryce at the end of the season

I didn't see special processing. Throwing two staredown INTs late across the middle isn't special processing. I'm not saying the guy is a bust, I'm just saying his debut wasn't very impressive. Plenty of great have had subpar debuts.

There isn’t much to work with stretching the field and Jessie bates just sat in the middle.

I thought he looked okay, but not really NFL ready. He threw multiple picks and only finished one drive. I think he'll get better, for sure, but I thought today was very shaky (and maybe not unexpected). If we're still seeing these same issues a few weeks down the road then I'll be concerned.

No disrespect but this is pretty outlandish.  I guess I could also say JaMarcus Russell had a better game than Bryce did today too, context be damned.

Of course Teddy and Darnold have had better games.  They have far more NFL starts, there are more games to choose from.  What kind of logic is this?

Did you read the OP? Read the whole post. Read my whole post. 
 

You’re right about context. That also applies to comments you reply to. 
 

Your response seems like you read “Teddy, Darnold, and PJ are better than Bryce.”

 

But that’s not what I said. But context be damned.

Young is not up to the speed of the game. He may be able to adjust, he would be expected to by most people. Hope that happens fast.

It wasn’t Mayfield bad, and he didn't proclaim himself Great  or trade everything away so he could be here, so I will not direct bad stuff at him.
 
My concern has been his velocity vs NFL defenders, re fitting balls into spots. I am hoping it is the speed, it is just more than he geared up for. Hoping he can adjust. Can’t give the ball away.

Did we watch the same game? He threw 2 bad interceptions. He missed pretty bad on a couple deep shots that were open. And then down 14 with 4 minutes left checked down or threw away every single pass, didn’t even try to get in the end zone. I love Bryce and I really want him to be a great player but he didn’t pass many eye tests there.

Probably one of the most accurate posts about his game today. I hope this was first game jitters or something combined with bad playcalling, but he did not look good today.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
