1000% chance if Drake Maye put up 1 TD no INTS the "Bryce looks like Clausen" crowd would be saying "Drake needs help, it's not on him"

Guess y'all didn't see my responses in the college Game Day thread when Drake Maye threw two awful head scratching INTs, but don't let me interfere with the Copium Strawman Brigade! 😂

I wouldn't.

I've watched games on TV and watched them live. And from that experience, I can tell you for example that you don't get anywhere near as much sense of just how fast a player really is unless you see them live.

As far as watching a pass, seeing it on TV you're really watching the camera move. In person, you're only watching the ball.

If you're just watching someone throw such as in a combine or pro day type of setting, yes that's the case, but not in a game.

Because it's never about pure arm strength anyways, it's about getting the ball to where it needs to be in comparison to the defenders, when the DB is able to close the gap because the ball takes too long to get there, it's clear as day and easier to see on TV since you can see the whole field at once.

My guy I've seen countless either mediocre or flat out awful QB's with my own eyes playing for this team. The offensive issues are not on one player and so far our head coach looks clueless but Bryce Young needs to play much better football too. I'm sorry you're too delicate to discuss that but we acknowledge reality here.

Bryce absolutely needs to play better. He is missing too many throws. He’s rattled and doesn’t seem confident in this system. But I don’t blame him. It’s a bad offense, a bad scheme, and a bad game plan. That’s reality.

But the swarm of miserable “fans” in here calling him a bust after 2 games do not have a clue what they’re talking about.

I didn't say they were.  I said he had the 3rd longest pocket time....for whatever reason.  The point of my reply is that if you're going to paint the picture that BY is being pressured heavily then part of that picture is how damn long he's standing in the pocket with the ball, WHICH ISN'T ON THE GRAPH.

Gotta wonder if part of holding to ball too long is waiting on throwing lanes to open so he can see. A lot was made about his size, but realistically, how fast can you identify receivers when you're looking into the shoulders of 5-6 tall guys.

Always been my concern. He, himself, said if the lane isn't there, he goes with anticipation (could that have been a factor regarding those 2 INTs last week?)...otherwise he has to run out of the pocket and "extend" plays.

But he does have the physical ability to make the plays?  Are we watching the same games here?  His WRs are not getting open,  plain and simple.  Has he been setting the world on fire these 2 games?  Absolutely not, but its a far cry from some of the retarded takes Ive read around here these past couple days.  Bryce completed 67% of his passes on Monday.  No INTs.  And we lost to one of the top defenses in the NFL by 3 points.  I get being down because we're 0-2, but this hyper negative attitude towards BY and everything hes done so far is borderline weird. 

Keep in mind, a lot of these people were calling Derrick Brown a bust a few years ago.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
