I am not about building a college progam in the NFL. You can't adjust for the tallent level down so absolutely try to coach him up but his college playbook won't work in the NFL.

I should have worded that better. I meant build an offense that could take advantage of his strengths that were shown in college. Other than anticipation and being able to take a hit, he really hasn't shown much in the NFL to build off of.

Gotcha. Yeah that what I have been trying to say. At the NFL level he really doesn't bring enough to the table. Either way 2024 is his shot and I really do hope they bring in better talent evaluators and team builders because this team is currently a hodgepodge mess.

What are his strengths from college though?

He had an awful deep passing completion % at Alabama that has translated to the next level regardless of all other circumstances.

He needs to have a phenomenal offseason. First order of business is ditching the weight watchers diet and living in the gym. Next order of business is he needs to be connected at the hip with his receivers to develop as much rapport and continuity as possible. While all this is happening we need to be leaving no stone unturned in rebuilding this OL and bringing in more weapons for him. I sincerely hope all this happens. The alternative is bleak as hell. We'll see.

we have been asking what his strengths are, hell what nfl attributes he has since about week 4ish.  Crickets from the peanut gallery.  The best answer we got is he throws with anticipation, but to me just about all starting qbs do this at some point or another in games

Let's be blunt here: We are stuck with the kid for the foreseeable future.

Was he awful the majority of the time during the season? Yes

Was that completely his fault? No, due to inept coaching and no real firepower around him.

All we can do is hope he improves mightily during the off-season, or 2024 will be just as bad and I may have to get a new liver.

Football is a team game.  If the entire cast around a player is not good the player will not be good.  I don’t care who you are especially in the top league in the world in that sport.  Especially if he is ROOKIE.   

Not to mention a disjoined staff and leadership around him. 
 

Basic stuff…very basic

So you want an offensive line that can hold off the defense for 10 seconds, and if that's not enough time, you want opposing teams' defenders to be dog slow that Bryce has an easy time to evade them and dance in the backfield in order to find a receiver who will get 5 to 10 yards of separation on a regular basis?

Basically you're asking us to become the Alabama of the NFL, with us having a far, far, far more talented roster than the rest of the league. Sorry to break it to you, that's never gonna happen. Bryce probably can't even outrun most NFL defensive tackles, so his Steph Curry style will never translate in the NFL. If he can't pass the ball from the pocket, he has no place in the NFL.

Oooooohhh! You'all hearing this? Bryce got MAD after losing to Da Bears in early November. He was MAD!!!!! So what did he do after that game? Did he improve for the rest of the season? NOPE! He scored only three TDs to go with three interceptions in the eight games after losing to Da Bears.
 
That's as stupid of a hot take as I have ever heard. Does Tim Donnelly think we were all born yesterday?

I couldn’t finish it, really. So he got mad. Do something about it. I believe you get respect if you pull your weight in the job we share.

The reality is when BY9 shows he can do the job better than he has so far, maybe someone will listen to him tell them about what they need to do. Before that? It’s just talk. 

As far as radio personality's 'oh boy Bryce Young is mad, look out now’ schtick, was Young pissed that the Bears dropped an int on the third down immediately before the long FG attempt? Or that he was incomplete on 1st and 2nd down? Who was he mad at? I hope himself. 

I mean, they apparently were 3 yards away from Piniero’s personal best yard line, and three plays left them in the same place. 3 plays and you guys can’t get a yard? What kind of faith do you want at that point? More than I’d have. 

At the time I bet the OL or WRs were blamed but it was 0-3 with the game on the line. 

I remember now they blamed Reich. edit: also, at the time, those 3 plays were called by Brown and after the game Reich took the play calling back. FWIW. I think three incompletions from there is pretty bad.

All the takes on Bryce have been horrible, its literally lose brain cells worthy.

 We need to draft sub 6' o linemen so Young can see. Worthless o line killed us being so tall last year. 

That is Gettlemanesque (QB sails the ball? Simple. Taller WRs!). Congratulations, you demonstrate professional ability, with good potential to steal money from the NFL.

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
