Grading NFL's next generation of QBs, Week 4: Huge bounce back from Sam Howell, Bryce Young flops again

Can't argue with the assessment. Most rookie QBs aren't going to perform well right out of the gates and Bryce seems to be one of those. 

But the real question is where will he be after three years? That's when we have to look at long term contracts and is he a franchise cornerstone. And no one here has the crystal ball that can answer that at this point. 

Maybe he will reach his potential and develop into a modern Drew Brees. Maybe he will go the Brady Quinn route and never develop. Maybe he lands in Doug Flutie land somewhere between those two. Or maybe he has the fate of RGIII and falls to injury.

We don't know and we won't know for a while.

And I think that he's suffering the slings and arrows right now because the team is 0-4 and it's not a very well built team and its one that doesn't play with much energy or fire. And personality-wise, Bryce isn't a fire and lightning kind of leader, nor is his coach.

It's a complex situation and all we're looking for is a win here and there, some signs of progress. Sure wish we were getting some of that.

Summary:

Bryce lacks NFL level arm strength, is about the size of a 17 year old high school QB, and looks out of place 90% of the time.  
 

I didn’t waste time reading the article.  Why bother ? 

It’s a good article about eight or so young QBs they do every week. Weird to come and post and not even read it.

I’m sure it’s informative. No knock on your post, I’m just not interested in hearing anything more about Young. His performance speaks volumes.

    • Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic
    • I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
