I keep hearing this lame argument. What Bryce Young does need is,  at the very least, have AVERAGE wide receivers and average offensive line protection.  We saw yesterday what he can do given at least a window of opportunity.  The image below is very telling, and you can see the one receive that does get separation he's able to find.  Thielen's separation is below league average and he's able to find him.   He doesn't need Tyreek Hill, maybe just one or two more average receivers who could actually play somewhere else.  Let's face it, not sure that Mingo or TMJ would even make any other rosters at this point.  

Bryce has a lot more developing to do, but what I have seen is extremely encouraging.  He will also be able to throw deep when he gets better protection and receivers.  Right now, he really doesn't have many other options.  And yes, he does have physical tools to play in the NFL, and I think those will shine more and more as he gets experience.   There's a lot to be angry about with this team but Bryce Young is going to be a very good QB in this league.

I’ll say anything over 2 yards of separation is NFL open. Could they be more open? Absolutely. But this is more than open enough to complete passes.

Yeah, Tyreek and Waddle are very good. That being said, they were also being covered by our terrible secondary also. I'm pretty sure a lineman at WR would have 3 yards of separation against our DBs.

True.  I'm specifically focused on the 2.94 league average which we're well below.

We do have average WRs.  The Dolphins don't.  The Phins don't even have above average.  They have top tier WRs.   So the contrast is going to be big.  

and yeah, Bryce needs elite weapons.  Because he himself doesn't have elite NFL tools.

All things being equal which is why I also think you need adequate protection

The rest of the league average sepearation is 2.94.  Our top receiver was at 2.35 when he balled out.  So yeah, they're not even average as a unit.

yeah, I think the difference there is just playcalling/scheme.  NFL teams largely know the predictable routes we are running over and over.  Makes separation harder.  We do have average WRs.  But life is hard on them because they run the same weak ass crossing routes and outs all game and defense can largely run the routes with them. 

you can't win in the NFL with an opponent knowing what you are doing.  You need comical better talent for the try and stop us approach.  Which is the Frank/Bryce O.  Defenses have been playing it since week 1.  Average WRs are going to have a hard time playing the small ball cross game vs a D playing it.

So which QBs don't need elite weapons?  Tua, Burrow, Purdy, and Hurts have the best cast around them plus some great coaching.  Stroud is making it work with below average weapons, but a lot of the great ones have elite talent around them.  Outside of AT (who is a 2 or 3 on most teams) we have below average weapons and an OL that is playing terrible.  I want to see Young with a solid OL and actual average weapons with solid coaching. A rookie with a bad OL, below average weapons, and a below average HC isn't going to look very good a majority of the time IMO.

It's the perfect sh*tstorm

1. Bad scheme

2. Poor offensive line play

3.  No true #1 WR

Most need them.  A prime Cam, Lamar, Vick type can win without them.   The more untraditional types. 

and then the elite GOAT types QBs can win without them.  Like a prime Tom Brady, Rodgers could likely win games without superstars.  But in the NFL, most need them. 

and that's just winning games.  Not competing to do something special. 

The argument a rookie Bryce Young of all people didn't or doesn't need them is a comical farce IMO.  Which was pointed out by many leading into this season when people were pimping this Panther PR about how it was going to work to our advantage somehow lol.

They're both top 10 WRs in the NFL - frustratingly they're on the same bloody team.

That (and a play calling genius) is what was required to turn Tua into a serviceable QB - it's not really the path I want to go down, there's too many moving parts to get there.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
