Young Won the Job at the Pro Day Dinner

Back in April I called it that Bryce wouldn’t make it to week 8. I’ve been consistent saying he would bust. When it is finally obvious to the majority I will be here waving at you.  He shows zero “it” factor, he looks slow, he has almost no zip on his passes and he looks like a fish out of water on the field in every aspect. He played in a college program with the most elite players at every position playing against inferior talent 75% of the season,  making him look way better than he actually is. 
 I have no doubt Young is super smart and can process things quickly, but he lacks NFL level skills and talent. I think he processed our  brain trust at these dinners and  snookered them.  
 

Even if he was 6’3” he’d still be a game manager with a dink and dunk game. He lacks velocity on his throws. He doesn’t throw receivers open. He’s basically a shorter Trent Dilfer. I’m sure can win games in the right system, but I’m not sure this is that system. Again, I hope I’m wrong. I hope the light switches on and he looks like he did in college, but he’s not playing against Vanderbilt DBs or Louisiana-Monroe LBs.

100% agree. I don’t want to be right, but I’m no longer blinded by the same stuff the homers are blinded by. I no longer love this team, I just like them. If they win or lose it matters not. I just watch critically and laugh at the blunders.

PFF game him a 0 pass blocking grade against the Seahawks. He gave up 14 QB pressures. FOURTEEN. 

In all fairness to the o line, when you have Andy Dalton throw 58 passes and run the ball like eight total times, you are in a tough spot of pretty much having to block pass rushers that know you are passing the ball every play... There really was no excuse for running it as few times as we did

No disagreement there but giving up 14 QB pressures is just unreal for an individual OL.

So one can’t improve over time?

He’s been one of the biggest surprises across the league this year.

 

I could care less about his film from last year.

Its not July and I’m not drafting my fantasy draft right now.

But I am looking at film through the first 3 weeks of the 2023 season.  Which many around here clearly haven’t watched

The point is you paid no cot damn attention to him until now. If somebody had of came up to you in the off season and told you collins was gonna be one of the better receivers in the league on a rebuilding team drafting a rookie qb this year you wouldn't have took it serious or basically said who is that? 

Of course you don't care what the film says cuz you dont know poo about him and just trying to underhandedly steer credit away from a rookie who is making him look good. Thats what it is.

This team feels like the team everyone schedules for homecoming. We are the leagues “get right” team. Wherever your struggles are, play Carolina and get right. 

We are more like the homecoming game for the division 2 team that loses by 60 to the Georgias of the world the week prior...

So pretty much, we have the equivalent football team of a bottom tier Bible college...

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
