This is probably his last year unless he really turns it around.

He had 1 or 2 flash games last year.  But that’s not enough.   People were shocked to see Mingo ahead of him on the intial depth chart release in August.

But Sunday showed why.  He was awful.  He struggled to get separation.  And just looked lost in general.

completely pulled up on the deep ball (lost).  On the 3rd down pinned deep, with everyone pretty covered.  Bryce put one on his back shoulder at the first down marker, but TMJ looked like had no clue what was going on.

The think that bothered me is when he hesitated on a deep route-not his forte, I get that, but what is?  Any WR knows that once you reveal your route to the DB, it is a sprint to gain separation.  To me, that suggested he is not getting it mentally.  Why hesitate on a deep route? He was not expecting the ball, maybe?  Not the kind of thinking we need.

Otherwise, he is very inconsistent.  He flashes at times, but they all do.  I would rather see the WR we just signed getting time, honestly.

He’s very overrated here. Honestly I think Shi Smith was better

Shi Smith was considered better by us too until he had some dropsies. He won the starting WR3 over TMJ because in preseason TMJ couldn’t separate. I remember TMJ being stared down by Sam and he was covered and fell down. Sam then found Shi for a nice TD.

I never liked the TMJ pick over the solid OL available like Humphrey. We needed a C, not a 3rd WR.

Without knowing the actual playcall….it’s hard for me to get that mad.  Attacking deep just wasn’t part of the gameplan.    I was shocked at that throw.  Didn’t expect it.  I don’t think TMJ thought the ball was coming his way.  And WRs all over the league run bullshit routes at half speed when the play isn’t really coming their way.   But I do think the TMJ experiment should end after this year if he doesn’t show something worthwhile.  Got to show something in 3 years

When we drafted him, it was a "steal!"  But over time, he's not showing the development you want.  Now he still has plenty of games left, one game doesn't define a career; BUT TMJ needs to really get it together. 

The quitting on a route is unacceptable, and I hope Coach Jefferson puts him on his butt in practice.

Or TMJ isn't a high end NFL player.  It happens to high draft picks all the time.  He's got the tools, he had the legacy (out of a great LSU group).  He's just not there.  Hopefully things turn around for him - which will be better for us!

A back shoulder is always a go route. It’s based on how the DB plays the WR. TMJ felt that he had his man at his hip… this means the QB should take the go instead of the back shoulder. Back shoulder is when the DB is over the top and there is no way the receiver is getting passed him.

 

All this to say… tmj had his man beat and went big but Bryce felt he didn’t have him beat enough. It’s a chemistry thing not a “had no clue” thing 

 

hate on TMJ for giving up on a few routes in the game but not this play.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
