60 air yards

He has the arm…

The difference here is that the closest defender in front of him was a good five yards away. The pocket is usually muddy in the NFL and you're almost never going to have five yards of open field in front of you to wind up to go deep. That's why a lot of guys that have NFL average arms threw at a good velocity at the Combine. Kirk Cousins threw the ball 59mph at the Combine. Cam threw it 56mph. But who has the stronger arm in NFL game action? It's kinda like 40 time and "game speed". What Bryce was able to do in college just hasn't translated so far in the NFL with overall bigger, faster, smarter, more experienced defensive players opposing him in more complex schemes.

Everyone compares him to Brees (I say Brees-lite), but Brees was deadly accurate at every level. He didn't have a strong NFL arm, but he hit those deep shots with pinpoint accuracy when given 1-on-1 opportunities down the field. 

Young hasn't even hit the same area code and I don't think he'll ever be able to with his current technique. 

I'd you don't have a great arm you have to make up for it with great accuracy and anticipation. Bryce shows decent anticipation and good accuracy in the short to mid-range throws but his deep accuracy has just been flat out bad. There's really no way to sugarcoat that aspect.

He throws from his tip toes, so every pass is an arm throw.

In that highlight above he gets time to load up - you don't get that type of time / space in the NFL. Any QB on an NFL roster (past and present) could have hit that pass - it wasn't a difficult throw at all.

It's not even that we ask him to go vertical, it's that he literally can't. Those plays are basically out of the playbook at this point.

Can’t go vertical, he just can not do it. Take it out of the playbook. Doesn’t have the arm strength.

Are comparing Rookie Brees to Bryce or Prime Brees?

Hell, sometimes he literally jumps like a frog with his shoulders square to the field and tries to throw. That poo has to stop. Nobody can generate any velocity like that.

Either way he's a hall of famer and the most consistently accurate QB of all time. We need to stop with these desperate comparisons. Right now we just need our QB to prove he was worthy of the top pick.

Rewatch the game from today, watch all Tua’s deep passes. Clean pocket, plenty of room in front of him. We have probably the worst interior OL in the NFL and pressure up the middle is going to majorly affect a quarterbacks accuracy. You can not just sit there and say pressure doesn’t matter. Pressure is going to majorly impact any quarterback attempting a deep pass.

His go ball is definitely off rn and he will have to work on throwing it in tighter spaces. I don’t think he trusts Chark either, who is really our only go ball option.

Both highlights are a heaves straight down the field.  Problem being that we don't have elite WRs with elite speed and he has super clean pockets with ample time in those clips.  It's almost like a 7-on-7 drill in those examples.  Even the weakest arm QB in NFL (if there was such a metric) can toss it 50 yards in the air under optimal circumstances.  Can he do it from a muddy pocket, unable to climb the pocket and in a tight window?  He hasn't shown that ability yet in the NFL.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State with 14 sacks in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."

      He's not generational.  He's just athletic. He was good in college but so we're others.
