Doubling down on Young. I don't like it. We NEED Young insurance.

Will Canales fix his height, frame, weight and mechanics? FYI, his bad mechanics are a direct function of his height....'Mr. bouncy toes."

Mechanics, yes.  Height, frame and weight, despite all the worry, turned out to not be the problem everyone was so worried about.  Lord knows the guy can take a hit and pop right back up.

His dropback is messed up as he does bounce up on his toes but he also has a great ability to quickly snap his footwork into the correct position plus he's got the Russel Wilson baseball / shortstop ability to make off kilter throws.  Pro and cons to both.

His arm is very subpar. He definitely cannot make all the throws. There are a lot of small window throws, deep outs, etc. that the big armed guys can make that just aren't in Bryce's wheelhouse at the NFL level. Yeah, the overall offense was trash this year. The OL was bad, the receivers were bad... and Bryce was bad. The one game where we had a viable vertical passing threat was the one game Bryce didn't play. Hate to say it but that's probably not a coincidence.

I mean, Brock Purdy is a physically limited NFL QB. And Bryce Young makes Brock Purdy look like John Elway in comparison.

For someone who supposedly watches the games you sure don’t know what you are looking at if these are you takes. 
 

Guys with subpar arms aren’t getting drafted number 1 overall man. The kid can’t step into his throws. He has footwork issues that can be addressed but the arm isn’t subpar. He was OVER throwing deep outs this season. Show me clips of any underthrown deep out he just didn’t have the arm to make?

Yeah, we drafted a QB with a very subpar arm #1 overall. It is what it is. QBs that are probably 5'9" and a buck seventy soaking wet don't get drafted at all... until we took one #1 overall.

The concern of a weak arm and a deep out isn't an under throw. It's lack of velocity to drive the ball in there. A weak arm on a deep out is probably a pick six. Bryce usually sails those throws because he knows he can't drive it in there. This really shouldn't need explaining to a decently knowledgeable football fan.

The absolute irony of talking about knowledge football fans when you have to make up measurables to try to sell your narrative.

If you think Bryce Young g has ever stepped on a football field at 200+ pounds I have some Atlantic beachfront property here in southern Appalachia you might be interested in. There's a reason why he hid in that hoodie all Combine weekend.

I'm obviously exaggerating with the 170 talk but he's probably legit 185ish.

Yeah, he did "lie". He showed up hiding in a hoodie after he porked up at the buffets with the sole intention of stepping on a scale at 200+. The guy has never played a football game at 204 pounds. I don't blame him. Your job as a draft prospect is maximizing your draft status and that's what he did. But that kid ain't no 204 pounds on game day. Hell, I doubt he's 204 fully suited up.

Stop…

Bryce Young is a superstar QB and can be one of the best that has ever played the game.  
 

We need two really strong offseasons to build this offense.  He will dominate with talent around him.  
 

I hope we can do that cuz he is only 22 and the sky is the limit

Everyone else at the Combine and Bryce hiding in his hoodie.

Bryce Young at his pro day... where he denied to step on a scale again.

Not getting back on the scale when he was in football shape tells you all you need to know. That Combined weight was a work.

Because the weight doesn’t matter. Unless you can produce any type of studies or reports that body weight correlates to arm strength, or any other important QB metric. 
 

The only thing weight could remotely be tied to is potential injury concerns which Bryce has completely destroyed. 
 

But yeah we have a 5’9 170lb QB. Mhm totally.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
