My 2 cents

I’d like to see Bryce with some guys who can gain separation. It’s going to be a long year if this what the WR group is going to give us. I think Bryce is a going to be a decent QB , I’m just not sure if he’s going to have a high ceiling. I think he’s really limited physically and he needs to win in other areas of the QB position. Problem is gonna be he’s throwing to guys who can’t do a whole lot right now. He made some bad decisions and wasnt very accurate going into the end of the game but I thought the game plan changed and play calling sucked as the game went on. They had a ton of success running the ball early and the Laviska looked great but they just got away from the things that were working. Hubbard was on fire today. But It’s like they wanted Bryce to go win the game instead of just sticking with what was working. I don’t know it was weird.

Honestly, Bryce had the day that a rookie QB should in his first start.

He wasn't the problem.

On offense, there just wasn't much improvement over last year except for Chuba Hubbard. Chuba really put the work in and it shows. 

Double H might be good, if nothing else he can be the outlet pass we've been needing. 

That O-line was okay for the first half but man, conditioning was way down and you could see it after halftime. Maybe they need too keep the Gatorade Fast Twitches off the sideline until the 4th quarter.

The defense looked like they got better than last season. Brian Burns certainly made a case for being paid.

Still, week one is supposed to be a liar, you can't judge anything by it. Just like preseason games. But I saw pretty much the same kind of vanilla play that we were bored by in the preseason.

At least we weren't playing the Cowboys.

Rookie QB.

New Head Coach.

Season Opener.

On the road.

Vs. a division opponent.

 

I am satisfied with what I saw from BY yesterday.  Not thrilled, but I knew I wouldn't be.  He needs more reps, and we need more speed and sudden-ness.  On a few throws, the WR's were at fault for not doing their part...but BY was a half a second slow yesterday.

Speaking of WR's, we need some help, pretty badly.

All reasonable...

Why do people keep making this comparison?  They are nothing alike as players.  Even if you don't think Young is a good QB, their play styles and tendencies are so different.  

It comes from the CJ Stroud, AR and Howell fanboys. They never wanted Young to begin with and are looking for anything to discount him. Some will NEVER accept Young not matter what he does. We will see where all these qb's stand at the end of the season.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
