David Newton dropping nuggets: most execs say the jury is still out on Bryce

If you're suggesting that what NFL execs were saying regarding Bryce during this past 10 days is not interesting, then say it's not interesting to you.

Just because it's from a recent article doesn't make it interesting as it is old news to me.  I could care less who the sources are.  All this had been hashed out on this board numerous time.

exactly why would newton think we would give a poo about what execs say about bryce, we know what it is, and we know he is the qb moving forward.  Am I supposed to feel better now about him?  Newton is an idiot

I would bet the majority of this board has seen more NFL bryce then just about every other nfl exec.  What he has done prior to last season doesnt matter at all.  I would venture to say that I, like many other fans on here probably saw every snap young played.  If not all at least 98% of them.  And I dont have to be a nfl exec to see that his footwork was bad, his deep ball is bad, his hop throw motion is bad and his arm strength is bad.  And quite frankly it really doesnt matter what another team exec says, why would they give 2 shits about bryce?  Why would they say anything negative at all?  Does that ever happen?

Why would they say anything remotely positive at all if they didn't actually believe it? What he did in college still matters in the sense that his collegiate career is what led rise to his evaluations for an opportunity in the NFL.  And, to be quite frank, I could easily say what he did here last season doesn't matter at all. Context does matter; never forget that

To each his own.

Apparently, he wasn't the only one. Furthermore, I don't really think that he said anything "nice about Bryce," what he essentially said is that it's too early to give up on him due to the circumstances. Believe it or not, that is a rational opinion, regardless if you agree with it or not.

I would be willing to bet those on this board have watched 90% more of young then those execs

Agree 100% and when reporters ask questions about any nfl player do they ever just say the player is terrible I cant remember that ever being an answer to a reporter.  If it was all scheme and lack of talent then dalton would have looked terrible.

Saying nice things in public, and saying the truth about how much the guy sucks in team meetings and game-planning is how sports goes. You don’t want to motivate a player by saying he sucks. You make it self-evident on game day, which most teams did.

 

I said a while back that is exactly what is happening. Teams are not watch film in bryce and coming away worried about him beating them.

They are still going off his college. Don’t worry, the new fall guy is gonna run Alabama offense, that will fix everything. It’ll be great.

 

So what I want to ask is how in the fug can the offense be tailored to Stroud and Young both? Since they are so similar in style and tools.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
