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...

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
