We have holes.  2024 is when we make our move.  Bite the bullet and give the bears a top 10 pick

Ummm.... You think we can fix all of the problems we have in 1 year?? I'm not sure I would call 1 position on our team an area of strength (outside of punter and maybe kicker). In fact, I would say most of them are way below average

His processing is special for a rookie QB.  I don't really know what you expect a QB to look in his first start.  Not everyone can have a statistical debut like Newton and RG3.

Young needs to recognize that DBs break on the ball faster in the NFL but other than that?  He looked the part.  His ability to read the field and be a playmaker was clear as day.  But agree to disagree.  I just think if you are expecting a rookie to QB that isn't dependent on athleticism to flash off the screen, then you may be disappointed for at least the first couple of weeks.  Burrow didn't exactly flash "No. 1 Overall Pick" in his debut game either, until you looked closer and saw he always displayed the traits that would translate week-to-week.  

This is the gospel summary.   The modern NFL demands elite processing ability.  It was evident in Young today. He is going to win us a lot of games.

He processed the ball to the other team twice. He got picked up twice by a non elite secondary player because he wasn't properly processing what he was seeing because he had it set in his head on one of those plays he was throwing it over the middle after counting to three no matter what. And the DB read it the whole way. 

I am high on Bryce long term. Today wasn't it though. It is hard for me to wrap my head around folks thinking he displayed ANY elite trait here on regularity. And he dropped in his performance majorly as the game went on. 

I still try not to judge too harshly. Its week one. Even Joe Burrow looked like a poor performing rookie today. Jordan Love threw 3 TDs despite completing like 50% of his passes. We lost to Ridder and he was king check down and barely threw any passes. Week 1 is weird.

People are fixating on the wrong things. The big exciting 53 yard strike that juices you up or the truck stick move on a 63 yard scamper. It’s not what you’re looking for.

he looked composed and he looked like he was in control. That’s a really good sign. the other stuff will come. Looked a bit like rookie Tua who just went off for nearly 500.

it would’ve potentially come sooner had they actually given him a lot of work in the preseason but they get cocky.

Good take. He looked fine for a rookie, but that's my worry.

He's good, but he didn't look like a superstar world beater. I'm slightly more pessimistic because I was hoping Bryce would rocket out of the gate and take the league by surprise, then he'd come back down to earth after 2 or 3 weeks when teams got tape on him. 

After a couple games, and other teams having tape on Bryce, and know how to exploit his game and physical limitations, I'm still worried he'll come back down to earth. So I'm just concerned what we saw today wasn't his floor. 

He had literally nobodies around him. Hard to succeed when you have zero help.

Anyone with half a brain knew this was going to be a losing season. A complete redo with a rookie QB. That isn't a recipe for immediate success.

However, for me, Bryce passed the eye test with flying colors. His first NFL start and he already looked as good or better than all QBs since 2019.

My main hope for this year is a healthy Bryce to play all season and next year we can actually compete.

 

He didn't ans a lot of it was the playbook. He missed on two deep throws and shouldn't have. Sanders is terrible. Fitterer is an awful gm whos got to go along with tepper

Sanders was fine, and had TMJ not slowed up on that ball it hits him in stride for a TD.

Logic has no place in here, he was supposed to hit all those open WRs for big yardage and avoid all turnovers

Did he make rookie mistakes?  Yes.

Did he calmly progress through 3rd and 4th reads. Yes.

Our skill player cupboard is nearly bare. Give him some time.

It's important to find a healthy balance between some of the homers here and people like Ickmule.

Pretty much.  Honestly, I thought there were several moments where I said wow, we have a QB and then there were times i just said WTF was that.  

I believe he'll improve as each week goes on.  His receivers need to help him some.  That pass in the late fourth Qtr to Marshall is a TD if he didn't stop running.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
