What’s Ted Ginn jr. up to?

I don't know what this thing going around the Huddle is about Young having a weak arm. I guess it makes some people feel better.

I watched the Patriots’ Mac Jones throw screens yesterday and I swear I took a nap before he hit the receiver.

Bryce looked like he could be The Guy and that’s enough for me to be happy. He didn’t look inept, that’s for sure, which is more than we’ve had behind center in a few years. I’m willing to lose a few while he learns and gets some more weapons around him. 

This exactly

I just don't buy that Chark singlehandedly changes the outlook of the game like that.  He's a great player, but we also have Smith-Marsette who is regarded as a "take the top off guy" and wasn't utilized.  And as I mentioned yesterday, both TMJ and Mingo beat their guys over the top and Bryce missed both of them.

I didn't play QB in the NFL, but Simms has been wrong before too, and I just was not impressed in the least bit with what I saw.  As I said before, Bryce has to rely greatly on his supporting cast to be effective, but when he's also missing throws to that supporting cast that are essentially layups, then it just further cancels out any positives he possesses.  Again, it's why I preferred AR because he doesn't need other players to win a game bc he can make plays on his own and outs a ton of pressure on defense with his tendency to run.  

Not trying to trash Bryce...  I'm still hoping for the best, but I didn't think he was the right guy, and yesterday did nothing to alleviate that concern.

I obviously disagree with your general sentiment, but I understand.

The only thing I'll argue is that one player can make a huge difference depending upon how effective that he is, but I think that coaching and play calling can even make a bigger difference when players are missing. That didn't happen yesterday.

I agree that a Tedd Ginn Jr. forces defenses to respect the deep ball. He was a 50/50 catch guy but you had to respect his speed every play. A safety had to stay over the top because your CB was not gonna be able to run with him if he was within 10 yards of the LOS. 

Bates wouldn't have had the option of cheating up if there was a guy that made him stay deep. Hopefully Chark can fill that role. If not, then the FO needs to find that guy. Even Byrd would have helped yesterday.
