Understand one thing about Bryce

It was mostly playcalling and route running. His two picks look crazy on the all-22 basically a free safety that just lurks and plays middle hook zone. Entire backend of the defense was exposed on both plays, we just didn't have a WR that could win a 1 on 1 except Hurst.

how are you able to see the All-22 they don't get released until Tuesdays usually. Can you share what you are using to get access?

at this point, our offense should just run through Hurst since he's the only reliable option

Bates, the Falcons safety, said he knew ahead of time that we were going to throw to the middle of the field to get Young comfortable, so he was sitting on that waiting. He knew we were going to go between the hashes and not as much deep.

Then you have the bad play calling early in the game, and the miscommunications between Frank and Beans and Young. Weird jumbo packages, and extremely predictable "we have a rookie" play calls. Horn goes down. Young starts tipy toe dancing before he throws. The whole thing started coming apart at the seams, but we can only get better from here. The Falcons are a mediocre team.

We can look forward to seeing Young improve before our eyes. That's basically what this season has to offer, and little else. Take it or leave it.

You know he’s gonna be an absolute sponge in the film room, studying the tape. This is his first NFL action with teams actually running legit gameplans, so it’s invaluable for a cerebral rookie like Bryce. I’m eager to see our rematch against the Falcons to see how Bryce performs after having an entire game of footage to study.

I saw Theilen I think streaking up the field uncovered on one of those picks.

Every game is a new learning experience for him. The coaches have enough trust ln him to put alot of things in the game plan, no huddle etc.

Every game will be another step up the ladder and he will be one step closer to being an NFL QB. Rome wasn't build in a day and to become an NFL QB isn't going to happen with one game.

I just watched Dan Marinos first game as a pro and he threw 2 picks and they lost the game. I think Marino turned out OK. If Bryce can become half the QB Marino was....I will be happy.

but, but, but..... did DM ever win a SB ? 😁

I would hope even the worst overreaction threads wouldn’t consider his career to be over or to be a bust after his first game but his physical limitations are not going to change and that has me the most concerned. He looked a lot like smaller Teddy Bridgewater upon first glance. Not a bad QB but also not a #1 overall QB. The team will need to elevate his supporting cast to overcome some of these limitations.

So you can tell his worth by his stature? Glad you weren’t the one deciding on whether to draft Joe Montana.

I think we're in serious denial about receivers not getting open.  Sorry, but there were some terrible overthrows to receivers who were open and had outrun the DB on them.  I'll give Bryce the benefit of the doubt and say he and the receivers need to work on timing.

There were also some routes where the receiver thought the play was busted so quit running full speed, but had they continued Bryce likely would have hit them in stride.  

I don't think speed is an issue for the receiving corps.  Execution as an offensive unit is the problem.

Cautions overreactions and then proceeds to overreact to "physical limitations". lmao!

 

Bryce looked fine out there. Since I don't share the concern on size like others, having watched his college career, he looked normal out there. At least Bryce finished the game upright! <cough, Richardson, cough>

    • If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.    
    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
