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

 If people would only open eyes and watch him you'd see the issues people saw from before the draft. They haven’t gone anywhere. The fact that he is short as hell exacerbates them.

People forget, but the talk started when the pads went on. He was not good. Go back and read camp stuff and see. There have been very few real positives from him. Growth? Well, he did take some snaps from under center as the year progressed. What else? A few plays that were excellent, out of the entire season. 

The best you are ever gonna get out of him is that point guard shite - tossing little improvised completions and depending on YAC, while facing a stacked defense due to not being able to offer a credible downfield Threat. I think defenses see any ’threat' as an opportunity to eat, in reality. It is why they dare him to do it. 

And people think ‘fast’ WRs are gonna fix that. It compares to Gettleman thinking tall WRs were gonna fix Cam’s throwing high. 

What this is about is two things, I think. Vision, and velocity. And can he somehow adjust his passing timing to be tighter, so the ball can beat the defenders to the target?

 He does not have that figured out. That is why he holds the ball and won’t throw it. He doesn’t see a completion there. But he has to start seeing them and throw the freaking ball. That is timing related. He has to decide to throw the ball sooner. I question whether it will matter if he does because his margin is so tight.

The vision? It is a lack of it. Because of the height.

I think he throws to a spot he visualizes in his head. The spatial awareness he possesses is great. But he can’t see and is guessing. How that resolves with the timing adjustments that must be stepped up at the NFL level will be the tale. 

I think it is too much to expect. So much has to come together. Good luck with that. 

As a footnote, I think anyone that wants to see what we should be doing, watch Dalton vs Seattle again. And he is ‘only’ a journeyman. 

Problems with vision and velocity exacerbated, if not caused, by his short height and limited strength. Very nice way to explain it. 

 

We're putting all our eggs into a QB with physical limitations, whose A+ intangibles in college are looking seriously below average in the NFL.

no matter what I am sure young gets preseason and first 6 games of the year....after that they will see improvement or he will go down in history as worst pics trades ever.  

I am okay with him getting all year, at least if they don’t bring in any competition. Which they won’t. Right now I think he gives us the best shot at the 1st pick for 2025, so don’t sit him.

I want to see what the new QB whisperer does with him. If he can make him look good, it’s a great hire for sure.

Andy threw the ball 58(!!) times to get those 361 yards lmao. That’s 6.2 YPA. He had an 88 QBR.

Bryce threw 36 times against Green Bay for his 312. That’s 8.7 YPA. He had a 110 QBR.

To say daltons game was better bc he had 50 more passing yards on 22 more attempts is fuging ridiculous lmao 

yeah I'll yell you what's ridiculous is when you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle with bullsheet like this  by cherry picking stats to tell half truths such as Bryce Young's YPA for the season was 5.5 yards QBR on the season was 73.7 

& then what about the fact that Bryce Young took all the first team reps in practice pretty much the entire season with the starters allowing him the opportunity unlike Andy Dalton had to form  any type of chemistry or timing & rhythm with the starting offensive unit.

Patrick Mahomes QBR against Green Bay this season was 79.1  so does that mean Bryce Young is a better Qb  than Patrick Mahomes since Bryce Young had 110 QBR against Green Bay or does that sound ridiculous?...just saying

You are one of two people that have been pooing posts in this thread before noon. I'm not the one that looks unhinged here bud take a look around. Get some sunlight it looks like it's going to be a nice day.

This is very strange behavior. You are gatekeeping when people can and cannot post, accusing new users of being older posters, and calling them deranged and need to seek help as well as derailing the topic. 

 

mods of this forum, is this what you allow here? Not a good look.

Let's break this down a bit. You claim you've never posted here before but in less than a week you've slipped right into a pattern of behavior that very clearly shows this is not your first account. Let's just dispense with that yarn. You've been here before. Maybe you are poundaway maybe you aren't.

You go to bat for Bryce Young like you carried him in a womb for 9 months. That's very noble of you. Doesn't make you better than anyone else here.

Talk to the mods I'm sure they'd love to hear about this.

P.S. maybe don't stay up all night again. Rest is good for the mind and body.

You tell people to seek help but you are the only one with a crazy conspiracy theory trying to connect dots that aren’t there. 
 

What is wrong with defending Bryce? Is this a anti Bryce website? I wouldn’t know this is legit my only account.

 

thanks for worrying about my rest though. I got a full 8 hours after I got off of work this morning. About to head back in.

I get on here twice a month maybe. More if I see weirdos like yourself saying crazy poo and decide to instigate them. In your eyes pooing dumb posts “before noon” (???) makes someone deranged? Frank you projecting your mental illness bud.

You have been on here every day for the last decade. You get some sunlight little Franklin.

He's...inciteful...but only if you play the game. I play along sometimes, until I get bored of the shenanigans.

Let me help you pal. I was responding to your argument. Your initial point was Bryce never had a game where he threw for as many yards as Andy did against Seattle. 
 

That was supposed to aid in your stance that Bryce is worse than Andy. So you cherry picked stats first, no? And I just added context to them?

🥱🥱🥱

You've worn out your welcome plenty in GameDay threads where you've been quite active and I assume under the influence of alcohol instigating arguments with people. Don't throw stones from a glass house little bdawg.

You mean like when someone takes the time to double triple and quadruple down on an opinion like whether or not DJ Moore is a #1 WR? 😉

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
