Teddy Vibes

I mean there are similar aspects to Teddy’s game.  That’s just a reality.  Teddy was a first rounder too with his skill set. 

Agreed. Just an interesting observation as most on here hated Teddy with a burning passion by the end of his tenure here, with the most common citation from my recollection being his inability to make splash plays, especially down field.

Young can sling it. Elite arm strength is not there yet he's only 22. Off the charts physical ability isn't the end all be all anyway we saw that with Darnold. My issue is the same problems plagued us that have for the last few seasons. Our receivers are still struggling to gain separation and the ones who can are banged up and missing time. This is on our GM. He took enormous risks with this receiving core and traded away a hell of a lot for a young rookie QB.

I’ll reiterate, I’m well aware he was without Chark, and TMJR in particular was awful on multiple occasions. 

And yet you saw the need to title the thread “Teddy Vibes”. I saw a couple of the never Brycers make the comparison. Makes me think you didn’t watch when Bridgewater was here.

When people hear Teddy Bridgewater they envision tossing a weak pass at or behind the line of scrimmage when the team is down one or two possessions and the offense needs chunk plays. Bryce Young has played one regular season game. Safe to say it's very premature to even be mentioning Teddy right now.

The chart itself gives me Teddy vibes, yes.

I watched every snap Teddy played. And I was very much neutral during the draft season, evenly split between Stroud and Young.

risk adverse point guard type.   

it’s like the gunslinger tier.  It’s a wide range of QBs and they aren’t created equal.   Good and bad variety.

but Bryce Young will need weapons in the NFL.  Simple as that.  And he has really nothing.  And you want him to be able to finish drives and come in during clutch time.   But yeah, there are definitely some similarities in style of QB. 

if you got bland offensive skill talent you need a playmaker QB.  That’s a Cam.  

Nothing wrong with a risk adverse point guard.  You just want Bryce to be the high end version, which wasn’t Teddy.    

People hear point guard and think Steph Curry.  Steph is a playmaker.  Think more John Stockton.

Seems like everyone with an ax to grind are coming out of the woodwork to complain about their same old issues legitimate or not.

While I dont have an agenda, I am always glad to give my 2 cwntssolicited or otherwise

.What I saw was a quarterback who started off pretty well but after those picks became tentative and held the ball. Sometimes we had folks open early but Bryce held the ball hoping for more seperation which in fact gVe defenders time to recover. On those long balls Young was putting them way out in front rather than giving them air for the receiver to catch up if necessary.  Totally understandable for a  rookie qb playing in his first action.  Hopefully he will bounce back and play better on Monday night. I have heard it said that teams make the most progress between week 1 and 2.  We will see shortly.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
