You keep talking about him holding the ball.

 

Most QB's hold the ball long when they have a good Oline. What you want him to throw the ball 2 seconds after he gets the snap?

Last year his average time to throw was literally the slowest among all P5 college QBs. All I'm saying is he's going to have to significantly speed up his processing in the NFL against much better, much faster, much more complex defenses. His projection isn't nearly as slam dunk as you think it is. Plenty of super talented QBs have failed on the NFL. Physical talent is only half the battle.

Well, this is going exactly as expected. Time to check out other games. Colorado and Coach Prime hype train has been postponed until next year.

No please stay and watch Caleb I need you to understand he's not just hype.

 

You the only person in the country questioning him on the next level.

Please understand what I'm saying. He is a TERRIFIC college QB. Nothing about his game at the college level is hype.

But his projection to the NFL is no slam dunk. How long he holds the ball will not translate. He will have to change his game to succeed at the NFL level.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
