The ONE true glimmer of hope

Bryce arm is fine. Tua had the same problems rookie year. The problem is the coach and playcalling and lack of speed. Dolphins fixed all that and look where they are now.
 

They are babying Bryce and the offense looks very vanilla with no misdirection, no play action, hardly any screens or reverse screens, not even any go routes or deep slants. They are honestly calling it like it’s preseason and are protecting the playbook, and using these games as practice. It’s infuriating. 

TMJ is bad. Adam can’t separate but it’s not his fault, he should be the slot not in the X.  They are treating Mingo with the same kid gloves. Why is Chark not going deep?????Sanders is the absolute worst back for this offense, way to go Fitterer. Hopefully with the lots of cap space and getting rid of the bad GM and letting Brown call plays a lot of this will be fixed.

I definitely agree with every word quoted.

 There seems to be zero pressure put on Reich to win this year, he looks as if he just wants a sandwich a beer and a nap and then get back to game planning 2024'

I don't think Young will be the worst QB in the league, but that isn't the bar and I don't know that he will be fine when that definition is tighter than 'okay' or 'average starter'. I can see him being wily after some seasons, but at the root of it is a different reality to contend with... that I just don't enjoy watching the style of football I expect them to play with him. Dumpoff. Leave the pocket, throw away OB. 3rd and 7: hit the safety valve, and if he can't make a play to get a first, you punt. All from the gun. That's about it.

    • I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.
    • Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...
    • Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
