Handling Young with kid gloves

It's pretty obvious. Considering how badly he's played and what the team gave up to draft him Bryce Young could have it a great deal worse considering he's already gotten his first head coach and QB coach fired in the first season. The media is mostly still going to bat for him. He should be very thankful he plays in this smaller media market the daggers would be out daily in somewhere like NY.

I know I squatted 350 plus regularly back in high school.

These days if I squat, I have trouble standing back up 😕

I understand that last part. 30+ years of throwing iron around the gym wears on a body.  Squats and leg presses these days makes my hips hurt for 2 days. The older guys warned me when I was in my 20’s and 30’s but I was convinced I was different.  That worked out well.  lol.

I came out of ten years of football with my fair share of injuries.

Then I decided to try martial arts because there were body parts I hadn't hurt yet 😕

I have been reading they have been basically giving Young a pass.  Handling him with an easy touch. Not holding him responsible for his play and mechanics.

Tabor is ready to start ripping an ass and putting pressure on Young to play up to his draft position. I wonder if Reich was being easy on Young and coddling him.

Obviously, there are many issues besides Young that plague the offense, but he is a big part of the problem.

His foot work is awfull and decision making is just as bad. Maybe they need to put more responsibility on him for this sh&t show.

 

In the Russini article she said players were complaining about Young being coddled by the coaches but the coaches saying they can’t criticize him any more than they are without killing his confidence. The media for the first 10 weeks blamed all their asses for his play too. The other offensive pieces were probably heated. If I’m Adm Theilen or Tyler Moton and I’m having a decent year all the media is on me for getting not helping Bryce but I’m in film room and I see Young is the one making most the mistakes I’m heated. Their stock next time they hit the market is now zero, no one will want any piece of this offense. Tepper did all this with his decision.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
