Bryce Young Cries

I don't view crying as no more a red flag than throwing a tantrum, or skipping a press conference or doing any of the things Cam was accused of. Bryce may bust, but linking his on field tears to some frailty of mind that's throws up a red flag, is as much of a reach as linking Cam's "emotions" after a loss to his lack of leadership or whatever dog whistles people were using at the time. 

 

There is a part of our fan based that is fuging stupid. Earlier this week a huddler basically said Bryce was weak because he allegedly went to therapy at Bama, which itself was a misrepresentation of a larger story of Bama pushing therapy for its players as a whole.

I mean, I feel for the guy. I really do. I honestly think he's just facing the stark reality that he's now playing at a level that his physical toolset might just be an obstacle he can't overcome. If you physically can't make the throws there's really nothing you can do about it. You either can or you can't.

Don't know how you come away with that being the take when every player on the offense looks out of place...no one looks good which suggest its systemic

I agree.  And despite my very vocal, harsh criticisms, it's not his fault.  He seems like a good kid and who wouldn't want to be drafted as high as possible?  But man, it's tough to feel too bad for him because somewhere along the way, he had to know he wasn't worthy of that pick.  But if I'm him, what am I gonna do?  Tell the team don't pick me?  He's rich beyond measure and will likely have a great announcing gig when he's done playing, but it just sucks to be the team on the receiving end of a scam that so many "non-football" people were onto long before the pick was made.

I got roundly mocked pre-draft for questioning his physical ability to make the throws at the NFL level and to escape NFL defenders. Watching him on college it was very obvious that his arm was NFL average at very best and was likely below average.

Horseshit. I just looked at the replay and he’s not crying. He looks upset, but not crying. Nope. 

The Bryce haters are obsessed with infantilizing Bryce, I think in large part to his size. They want to paint him as weak and feeble in every manner possible.

Thats not say Bryce should not be criticized for his mistakes, but poo is disrespectful and stupid.

As I posted earlier, I just want to see him try to make something happen. Did we have a pass that traveled more than 20 yards in the air today?

Why can't we start a drive going deep on a playaction pass on first down instead of running up the middle for 1 or 2 yards?

I'd like to see Mingo and Marshall Jr running more crossing routes to get them involved and pick up some YAC. 

If Bryce has limitations in the traditional pocket, let's call some  bootleg throws; move the pocket help him see better down the field. 

Go back to his college tape and install the plays he feels most comfortable with. 

Build an offense tailored to what he does best.

And to be clear, I'm not making light of him crying or showing emotion.  That's an archaic and outdated detrimental expectation of men.  I cried over sports.  Michael Jordan cried over sports.  Cam cried and was demonstrative over sports.  Nothing wrong with it.

I think what's alarming is that this guy has been so heavily publicized and held up for his mental toughness and "super processing", and paired with everything he's showing on the field, he appears to be the complete antithesis of those things and he doesn't seem to know how to handle any of it.

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
