Bryce Young sucks

I have a very simple question: who on this team would be a number 1 or even number 2 wide receiver or running back anywhere else? Hell, I don't even know who WE consider as the number 1 receiver. 

Keep making excuses, Bryce still looks like crap.

My biggest concern is that Bryce's arm looks ridiculously weak, far more so than I expected.  He was supposed to have average NFL arm strength and he just looks... not that. Maybe he's trying to put too much touch on balls?  I don't know, but in the first half a couple of incompletions would have been complete with a stronger arm to fit into the brief openings he did find...

This. I'd feel differently if I saw the physical tools to make the adjustments that are needed. He just doesn't seem to have the arm required to make the throws.

manning went for 300+ yards game 1. bryce hasnt got to that over 2 games. hell 490 for manning in 1st 2 games.  that was in a much more run friendly league and with a lot more advantage to the DB vs WR. so no this stupid saying of "given up on manning" needs to die. cause manning gave you hope. he had multiple long drives both halves. yes  manning threw picks year 1 and they couldnt run the ball against mia in short yardage that game, but these 2 games from bryce are nothing like that one. Manning showed hope and promise throughout games, not a 1 drive game or a garbage time drive.

Bro... Manning had Marshall Faulk and Marvin freakin Harrison his rookie year. We ain't got that.

I don't think we have anyone that would get as open as Bryce was used to in college to throw the ball accurately. Nobody has that but the Dolphins. Hell I'm not sure if he could even throw the long ball to Hill.

For me it's mostly the arm strength given the way he likes to play / played in college... There's glimpses of the mental game and scramble / play making, I think, but if he can't use that supposed "arm elasticity" to deliver the ball in those situations, it hardly matters...

    • Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.
    • Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky. 
    • Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
