Bryce showed nothing today

Probably, people tend to keep bad habits as they get older rather that create new ones.  This is why I am so weary of QBs from top, I should say elite, college programs.  The amount talent around them is so damn good that it masks deficiencies.

It’s really seems to be how he comfortably plays in the gun. It’s just how he sets his feet. Someone pointed it out during the draft season in a thread and Kurt Warner has even talked about it.

He does the slow backup with his feet parallel to the LOS, then this weird hop step to eventually position himself into his dropback. It is sloppy and wastes time for throwing at the top of routes effectively. He relied on out of structure at Bama a lot so seemed to get used to doing this— because he eventually rolled out to get clear sight lines.

We played a good team and got whooped as most expected. Where were these excuses when we played inferior competition and one of the worst teams in the league in the Bears and could not reach the end zone once?

Bryce Young's in season Super Bowl was the Texans game and we struggled mightily to muster 15 points.

Walk off FG too.  We lose if Eddie missed it, so even that win was dicey.

Olsen, Parsons, multiple NFL analysts, and QB gurus tell us Bryce’s eval is incomplete due to the terrible situation he’s in, and we’re supposed to take huddle posters’ opinions that Bryce isn’t NFL material why?

If it were up to many people here on the huddle we would have drafted the QB who is on pace for one of the best rookie seasons ever and in MVP talks.

No. Bryce has to play out this year and all of 2024. We have to know absolutely for sure that there's nothing salvageable before we draft #1 in 2025.

2023, I'd agree.

Said elsewhere I think they need a veteran competitor for next year though (as opposed to strictly a mentor).

History says a lot of franchise QBs weren’t in their rookie seasons. Anything else?

History saying short QB have very little success. Don’t give a damn about the history of normal QBs who had a bad rookie season. Bryce is not normal. 
You could count the amount of successful short QBs in the entire NFL history on two hands. 
Bryce would be an exception. He is right now the rule.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
