This isn't Bryce Youngs fault

All he had to do was half the combine stuff to make his hype disappear so yeah he played his part and made it way worse for himself.

Too much blame for the Teppers, FO and coaching staff to really matter.

I can't blame a guy for not showing up to tank his stock. Honestly, I don't think it would've mattered anyway. Tepper was smitten.

It's honestly not. He can't help that he's 5'10" 180 with a noodle arm. There's only so much you can make up for. This gaffe is on the talent evaluators.

This isn’t Scott Fitterers fault.  He isn’t capable of evaluating talent and he was just put in this position by David Tepper.  Lol

He put on weight to try and fool teams, then refused to compete at the combine. He's not completely responsible, but he definitely has a hand in what we're seeing now. 

Agreed. The combine thing still urks me and the way the season has played out just makes it look worse.

Here’s the thing about that test. I don’t necessarily think the S2 test is worthless. Might be, but maybe not. 

 

The thing is…”processing speed” only matters if you are athletic enough to play in the NFL. 
 

Young isn’t half the athlete Corral is. Their arms aren’t even comparable.

 

And Corral isn’t even in the league anymore. Not even sure he’s alive tbh.

I mean, honestly you're not wrong even if you're trying to be a smartass. Everything football related has tanked since Tepper came aboard. He's the root of the problem.

Don't ever pick a QB #1 with obvious physical limitations and who ducks the combine.

Stupid move

I can. It was a good move to get that #1 money but he may have screwed himself in the ling run. Can you imagine if he went in the 2nd and didn't have that trade hanging over his name forever?

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
