Bryce Young doesn't have a superprocessor, he is literally costing us games

I get that mentality but Bryce hasn’t shown really anything as to why he was worth being 1st overall. 
He struggles to throw downfield, most of his yardage are checkdowns and he has yet to show any reason during the games as to why we took him so high. 
Most rookie QBs who are struggling still show something that makes people realize why he was taken first overall. 
Bryce so far just looks like a 2 or 3rd round low ceiling QB. Not a supposed franchise QB. 
 

His arm strength to me is the most concerning aspect to him.  And its been an issue since week 1.  Moreso then his size or build or athleticism.  I mean they are all concerning as well but the simple fact that he seems to float passes is a huge issue and I am not sure how that gets corrected or schemed around.

He just doesn’t have any zip to his passes. You can get away with that in college. Honestly I am surprised he doesn't have more INTs. 
So many of his passes are so slow looking.

As a hater I’m gonna defend Bryce today. The line has been getting stomped all day. 
 

First pick was a guess read he made because he was rushed. Second pick was the right read but a bad throw. He hasn’t done anything egregiously Clausen level today. 
 

This team desperately needed Shenault and Damiere Byrd to survive the season. There’s no screen threat or viable deep threat to scare anyone. 

Ehhh, the first he just lobbed the ball in the flat, no arch on the throw at all. As soon as he threw it, I yelled noooo!! To be fair, the OL isn’t built to run this zone blocking scheme and most certainly has allowed a ton of pressure but there’s been times Bryce has had time, only to freeze like a deer in headlights.

He is not throwing deep enough for it to be a problem.....yet.  But at some point he has to start pushing the ball downfield.  Thats the modern nfl and if he cant do that then what the fug did we trade up for?

Fwiw, in his first year, Trevor Lawrence was making throws like this.  Alot of throws like this.

Now he actually looks like a legitimate NFL qb.  So there is still hope.

Lawrence is the prototypical everything when it comes to a QB though. Huge, with athletic ability and a strong arm. Polishing him gets you a great QB. Bryce unfortunately is the complete opposite of everything and will always have his shortcomings working against him. I really hope we can salvage him, but it feels like he will be no more than a game manager if he pans out.

Yes let's compare our QB with a smaller build than Johnny Manziel to the physical specimen 🙄

He is a subpar NFL talent and his mental abilities are nowhere near enough to bail him out.

Teams should use him as an example why to let players fall in the draft. He was never a first round talent. He actually is the problem on offense. They tooled it to him and it brought out the worst of the oline and that effects the rest. They are trying to play to his stregths and it's away from wins. Play Andy in a mauler oline scheme and they win more than 1 game at this point. Out of the top 4 options they chose the worst one to bring in with the team they had set up.

This was always my main concern with Young as well

Young’s anticipation is as good as it comes but you need to some arm strength too. Young’s passing charts are very similar to Drew Brees charts during his last year. 

I’d love to see Young with some speed on the perimeter first before I write him off still though. 

I still have no idea how these guys had could go watch CJ throw and have him ranked 3rd. His footwork, delivery and arm are as smooth as it gets

The desperate attempts to compare Bryce to Tua remind me of when folks were comparing Darnold to Tannehill hoping we could replicate that. We see how that turned out for both teams.

Tua is putting great numbers but can't win agaisnt good teams. 0-3 and 17 points avg. That is not a contender.

The Lawrence comps are even funniers. It's Lawrence every time and Bryce isn't close.

    • If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.    
    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
