If he's not ready it's because he's never gonna be ready. It's not like he was some raw talent upside pick. His draft value was based on being a plug and play super processor while the knock on him was that he might already be at his physical ceiling based on his talent.

I just don't understand how folks can see it elsewhere, but ignore it at Bama. Guys like Stetson Bennett and Jake Fromm are seen for what they are - really good college QBs who probably won't translate to the NFL and are largely products of the surrounding talent and systems. Yet with Bryce folks convinced themselves that this 5'10" noodle arm was making chicken salad out of chicken poo at Alabama like he was playing at ECU or something. GTFO of here. This dude fooled everyone.

Well, he didn't fool me. I took a lot of heat last off-season for warning that this guy has marginal NFL physical talent.

You either have "IT" and its evident or you don't and its evident....No 5'10 QB in the NFL has been worth a damn....hows that for analytics....but mister money ball is going to try and prove it different... Dipper doesn't even live by the crap he spews...

Wilson was great when things clicked, Flutie had some good years. Tarkenton. Flutie and Kyler and perhaps Wilson are the only legit 5’10’s ever.

Wilson is actually 5'11...but the other 2 have had less than mediocre careers in the win column.  2 in the last 50 years...analytics man.

Flutie got drafted into a similar situation, fizzled out on the NFL’s worst team, destroyed the CFL and then took the Bills to the playoffs but by then he was old and only had a few good years left in him. 
Kyler isn’t good, but not horrible. 

analytics say Bryce will turn out ok, just not maybe as a Panther

I would. Hell, at least Jameis would let it rip. It'd be something to watch. Beats this boring poo.

Winston could at least randomly throw for 400 yards or have like a 5 TD afternoon.  Even he can offer some false hope.  It’s basically what has kept him employed.  That you might catch that random good day if he was ever called upon.

No way they'll bench Young. The only remote hope they have left  is Bryce was dealt a horrible hand and that's his only problem. What If Dalton started and won some games. Then he he threw for 250 plus yards and all of the sudden some of the recievers weren't so bad and they put 30 on the board. It would tell everyone what most already know. Tepper would rather lose the rest of the games this year than face those facts.

I think Dalton will start the last two games if there’s no improvement. Bruce had plenty of time to throw today and still had a below average day by his already dreadful standards

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
