Trapasso: Young's first few starts are concerning

Bryce actually showed some signs of life. 

Other than a couple of bad INTs, I saw some flashes today.

The Lions went into a prevent defense in the 4th quarter and stopped sending the house to ruin Bryce.

Im not trying to be a dick towards you, but I need to see some signs of life from Bryce when we aren’t down by 3+ TDs in the 4th quarter and the other team goes into full prevent mode.

He's just not a NFL level talent and you can't win in the NFL with him as your QB. Nice kid, very humble, not his fault he was taken 1 overall, but it was a mistake.

Don't care if he's a rookie. Don't care if it has been 3 starts. He fails the eye test. He doesn't have it.

He can't throw a football at a NFL level. There is 0 arm talent. Cam post shoulder injury has an exponentially stronger arm.

I get your point, and, hey, we do need to see much more. I agree totally. But, did they really go into full prevent mode? I saw passes into tight pockets.

I went back to some Alabama tape. I think we need weapons who can get themselves open underneath. BY loves to throw underneath. His best deep passes are down the middle. I think maybe one burner WR for go routes, but otherwise we need guys who can get open really quick inside and produce some YAC. Really miss Curtis Samuel, tbh. 

Def a speedster is needed. Along with a tall safety blanket TE. Too bad we have no 1st round pick

You could be right, but I saw some good throws today.

He just isn’t NFL caliber. Yeah, some will say his 200+ yard game today is proof he made strides, but in reality he didnt. He put up a huge bulk of those yards in garbage time when Detroit had pretty much blown us out.   Even his one throw everyone is praising looked a bit weak.  The best we could expect out of BY is on the level as Bridgewater.  We took the wrong QB in the draft plain and simple.

Just like people say that there's always an excuse from some when Bryce plays bad, I submit to you that there's always an excuse when he plays well (albeit in spurts).

In fairness these same remarks were made about Dalton. Garbage time yada yada. And we actually kept that one close. It's always how it's going to go if your team is blown out. But. I will say today our defense was ass. It's looking like some guys in the locker room might be done.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
