No.

Most of those guys had solid mechanics right from the start.  Cleats in the ground, lined up, weight transfer.  Favre was the most questionable, but he had probably the best arm in NFL history and even with that, he knew how to line up his body with the throw.  Those guys didn't need to be "fixed".  They did need some time to figure it out mentally.

Drew Brees definitely needed to be fixed following the Chargers. He talked about it in detail. Same with Kurt Warner. He didn’t fail to beat out Brett Favre, Mark Brunell & Ty Detmer because his mechanics were sound. We can even talk about Brad Johnson. You should study up on their journey into the NFL. Dan Fouts looked bad until Walsh took care of him. It took Joe Montana 2 seasons under Walsh to rework his mechanics before he replaced Steve DeBerg. Steve Young also details the journey he had to go through with Walsh until his mechanics were good enough for the NFL. Prior to that he bombed with the Bucs because of his mechanics & footwork.

Some recent “fixes” :

howd they get fixed? Teams traded for a true wr1. Then boom, magically the QBs went from bust to good. Crazy how that works 

Is Higgins the answer?  Go big in FA and add a WR at 33. Then we have AT, Mingo, Higgins and a rookie. For sure better than what we trotted out this year.  We get lucky at 33 with a guy who catches on faster than Mingo and Tee as the numero uno.  I mean it's not outside the realm of possibility. And AT as the chain mover in the slot.

Higgins won’t be allowed to leave in FA. Mike Evans is more realistic with HC ties and age. Good young wrs aren’t allowed to walk. Last example was kirk who was a wr3 on the cardinals than got a contract wildly over expectations

I think Canales is going to put Young in the best position to produce. Young will then start to live up to potential. I don't think he's broken he just didn't have anything going for him from a coaching standpoint. Really hard for a rookie QB.

The mechanics can absolutely be fixed. The footwork can absolutely be fixed.

Not 100% sure we can fix the most important part of the equation which is between his ears. 

The size or arm strength that people harp on, plenty of QB's in the NFL have lacked that and been successful. That just limits your overall ceiling. The hyper focus on that is retarded and it ignores a lot of bigger problems.

Ultimately, I think a lot of this HC hire was the "fix Bryce" mentality. I suspect that will be wildly unsuccessful(as a strategy and in practice).

The most critical component of fixing Bryce is himself. He has to realize his flaws and work to fix them. There are ample amounts of this coaching and expertise around. If he has any designs of this NFL career being more than a minute, he better be deep into his contacts and working on these flaws now.

People need to understand evans isn't coming here.  Why would he come here?

      Where does Moton rate among the all time CAR o-line players?

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      With Horn I would gladly over pay... via the TAG.   I would take his 5th year option and TAG and TAG again. Dude is a monster but I dont want to pay for a monster with as few starts as he has.

      If Bryce plays like last year, we will be picking high and can move on.  But I am curious to see how people on here are when he sees success and becomes the guy, if he does. It's almost like people want him to fail. He's got that Panther jersey on and a good attitude. I am rooting for him, as you should.  Last year the coaching, OL, and weapons were abysmal, and it put him in a tough spot. He did not play well either, but we saw glimpses, and its a full team sport. I choose to go into this year excited under a fresh new regime and a top prospect from 365 days ago at the helm with new OL and weapons. Whatever happens, happens. Let's have some fun with it.

      Pete Carroll on Canales (New Fox Sports Article)

      Maybe. You know he wanted that OC gig each time, I believe the last time they even stated he interviewed for the role. This was during the whole youth movement that mccvay started as well.  Honestly I was hoping Seattle would have cut ties with pete, he would have been great here in a top mentor role. I don't think its talked about enough, they did Pete wrong. He made them a great NFL team for the first time in their history and gave them a SB. He's still in great shape by all reports and they just decided to go young. They even removed most of his pictures and quotes in the building. Sorta like what the pats did to bill, but waay worse.  I guess I have too much loyalty for the new times, no chance either should been to out for retirement..
