Reviewing Bryce draft projections, and a word on “flashing”

I'm not sure how hard we've tried. How hard can you really coach the owner's chosen one? I bet he got coached harder by Saban at Alabama than he has been here simply because Saban ain't afraid of stepping on toes.

I totally agree with you on this. Bryce fooled a lot of people since he played at BAMA, but even the anti-Bryce crowd will admit he didn't look this bad in college. He made a lot of big time throws in college. I'm sure playing on a stocked roster helped, but he still had to deliver the ball to the receivers. Saban wouldn't have started him otherwise.

If BY's game tape at Alabama looked as bad as it has thru 12 games this season I don't think he would have even been drafted.

Stroud said "I'm not a test taker, I play football"  wise words

The kid is everything a team could have hoped for at first overall. We're never going to wash away passing on that unless we somehow back our way into another Jake or Cam. But that's not happening with David Tepper thinking he and his wife know how to run a football team.

Would've been like taking Gabbert over Cam.

I’m no football expert but idk how anyone watched what Young did at Alabama and actually thought that his backyard style of QB would ever translate to the NFL. The majority of stuff he did in college is what NFL coaches teach guys never to do. Hell, it’s one of the main reasons the Chiefs sat Mahomes for a year. They knew his intangibles were off the charts but the kid needed a hard reset on how to play QB.

Bryce had so many blatant red flags I will never understand how he was ever in the conversation for number 1 overall. Only thing I can think of is “BAMA” and “HEISMAN”.

We’re now seeing the same bullshit propaganda machine go to work for Jalen Milroe.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
