Can someone explain what happened in Chi/Wash game?

 

I have been unpacking all day just moved back into my house after a remodel.

Fields threw it to D.J. Moore several times during the first half and put Washington in a hole. Washington began to push for a comeback in the second behind a gritty Howell. Fields went to Moore again and iced the game in the 4th quarter. Game over!

I don't think some get what's being said here. 

The average NFL qb can throw a football 50 yards and at speeds of around 40 mph. Which is the arm strength that Bryce has.

Top end arm strength in the NFL is 50-60 mph. 

One qb has thrown faster than 60 mph at the combine, DTR at 62. Just to put that in reference for everyone. Most top out around 57-60 mph. 

Cousins and Kapernick are at the high end of that mark hitting 59-60 mph. 

Watson was 45mph, included for reference point as well. 

it's ok that Bryce has an average arm... nothing wrong with that at all.

Fields had a decent game last week. Maybe he's finally getting his confidence back.

I mean, that's what we were talking about, specifically revisionist history. But the Huddle is gonna Huddle. 

It honestly blows my mind that you can watch Bryce in the NFL and be willing to die on this hill.

If he has NFL average arm talent he hasn't shown it yet. I welcome him showing it but I'm not gonna sit here and delude myself prior to that occuring.

BY skipped the combine so you can't assume he's even average 

Dorian Thompson-Robinson UCLA 55 (Left) 58 (Right)

CJ Stroud Ohio State 54 (Left) 56 (Right)

Bryce Young Alabama - did not throw

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
