Just how bad was Bryce Young?

and fox had enough balls to tell the person who drafted him to fug off and benched him

I was at a camp practice in Spartanburg and I heard Fox talking to Turgevac (sp) on the field.  Clausen overthrew a receiver on a 15 yard dig and right behind him, Armanti Edwards dropped a punt lodged from a jugs gun.  Fox made some comment that was highly critical--something like "I genuinely can't believe this Sh""t.  I laughed, he looked at me and shook his head. I actually had a few very brief exchanges with Fox at OTAs and I really liked him.  The Clausen/Armanti/Eric Norwood draft was all Hurney--Fox was a dead man walking that year, if you recall.

I honestly have no idea how bad Bryce actually was this year. The line couldn't block and the receivers couldn't get open. The scheme Reich implemented was not a fit for literally anyone on the roster not named Adam Thielen - it made everyone look bad - it wasn't just Bryce and it wasn't just because of Bryce.

Next year we'll see what we actually have with the kid. If he continues to not be able to put up stats, lick our wounds, move on for the 2025 draft.

I cannot in good faith label him a complete bust based on the dysfunction that was our offense this year.

I am highly skeptical of Bryce's future and as critical as anyone, but I have to give him credit for toughness. Guy took a beating this year (a fair portion of it his own fault) and kept coming back.

In Weinke's defense, I remember one of his last games here in 2006 when he passed for over 400 yards.  We lost that game, but can anyone see Bryce ever passing for over 400 yards ?

27-13 defeat at the hands of the Giants in 2006. Weinke threw for 400+ but also a bunch of picks... was not a great day.

It was probably the worst 400 yard game in NFL history. He threw the ball 61 times and had three picks, we only ran 12 times all day, and we lost by 14.

The highlight of his career was probably leading a game-winning drive against Detroit in 2005 after Delhomme had an injury.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
