We scored 14 pts Sunday and got shut out for 3 quarters vs a meh defense.  

He’s a rookie. His last three passer ratings are 93, 82, 85. Would you have rather us taken Pickett a couple years ago?

His rating after sitting and learning, and having ample weapons is <80.

Maybe you’d rather have Trevor Lawrence? His career rating is 84 and this year it’s 54 even with the Jags going all out to give him talent. 

Maybe you’d rather have Stroud? In the long run maybe he turns out to be the better choice but who knows. It all depends on who the team surrounds Young with on offense. Right now he’s got a security blanket 33yo WR and a TE. That’s it. 
 

D is another story. We’ve gone all in on trying to amass defensive talent…and they’re abysmal.

I don't hang my hat on certain stats.  Stats tell incomplete stories.  Risk adverse checkdown ball can lead to selectively good stats.  

I'd rather they not mortgage so much for someone with the physical limitations that Bryce Young.  And if they wanted to draft Bryce Young, I'd prefer they have hired a staff that could build an offense around his strengths and a put a cast around him that caters to that.   We didn't. We got bigger issues than Bryce Young.  We are a dysfunctional org that isn't building toward anything.  Bad marriages.  That's largely been my biggest complaint.  You can make a Bryce Young work.  We aren't. And it's by unintentional design.

If we pick it up its a genius call and we probably go up 21-0 and its a completely different game. 

it wasn't a horrific call.  But Frank conceded he was pushing the limits on the distance it was suppose to be used/called.  So essentially they wasted a good play IMO.

This board would have gone ballistic if we had given up DJ, 2 1sts and a 2nd for Pickett at 1. He was drafted in the back half of the 1st where expectations are quite a bit different. 

Would I rather have TLaw? Yes. I would rather have a guy that has all the tools instead of trading what we did in hopes of drafting the guy who needs to be the exception to the exceptions to not be a bust.

Playcalling was much improved yesterday and better protection than usual. There were a couple of pass plays when Bryce had all day to throw. 

But driving and down 28-14 on 3rd and 1, he called a pass play. Chuba was moving the sticks all day on short yardage. Then passed again on 4th and 1, to turn the ball over. That's the type of stuff that baffles me. If Bryce was supposed to choose the play, then they need to take that decision away from him.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
