Improved but not as good as his weapons on the Texans. The lack of separation, a byproduct of talent + scheme issues, would still be noticeable. 

I also assume the play calling would still protective of a rookie QB with our current staff. At 0-4, I hope they loosen the reigns. 

Yeah Reich “protecting” Bryce is akin to someone loving a bunny so much that they hug it to death. 
 

Gotta let the kid learn from mistakes. Taking away the opportunity for mistakes is making him look like a bust.

If Bryce Young weren't trash this assessment would be accurate.  How soon we forget that Cam Newton won an mvp with his best WR being a cast-off who would be a #3 on any other team.

Yeah, and we would have had multiple superbowls if we ever gave him actual weapons.

tbh - Cam's offensive line at least gave him an opportunity to make plays.  I'd like to see what a rookie Bryce can do with at least a bit of protection.  Also - you can't really compare prime Cam to a rookie Bryce.  I have a feeling Bryce will be a much improved player by year end, and in 3 years will be a force to contend with if they can actually put him in a reasonable position to be successful.

When Cam was hot he could just put the entire offense on his back. Maybe more so  than any quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Bryce was never gonna be that. But we traded up like he was.

I’m not crediting Houston’s offensive line for Stroud’s play, but they’ve genuinely held up better than our offensive line who might as well be made of 4 backups right now with how they’re playing. 
 

Stroud is playing great football. But let’s not pretend he would have 1200 yards in this offense. I don’t know if any quarterback would. 

I’d bet Andy would.

Bryce will be a great QB in this league but he is no Superman like Cam. No one is!!!

To be fair, a lot of people here claimed he didn't have great receivers at Alabama, but performed well. 

They were wrong as Bryce had Jameson who was a stud like Waddle but once he left for the draft, Bryce had to work with the decent receivers on the team and did a great job imo.

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
