The issue is that there aren’t any elite QB prospects next year. I think his leash is longer than a lot of fans realize…

B-I-N-G-O.  Too bad we didn't wait to take a QB in this historic QB draft.  I mean, nobody saw this coming, right? 

*cough* I did *cough*

That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over. 
I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.

Calling it historic before games are played is bold 

Or some could see the talented class ahead of time.  Will they all pan out? Of course not, but when you have 6 guys drafted in the top 12 picks, that means it was loaded draft.  Teams didn't just grab a QB because they needed one.  It wasn't a case of impulse shopping in the check out line.

Well wait.

They are building a team as we speak to cater to a under equipped player’s deficiencies.

Put a little differently they are overbuilding it to compensate for the design flaws of a weak component. 

No one would design an NFL QB with Bryce Young as their template. 

No. One. 

It is always around this point that I get really pissed off or frustrated and lose the thought or point I am going for, because I look at it and realize that what I just wrote, is 100000% true.  

So I lost the point again. Sorry 45.

I get so pissed off at the decision makers that put this on us.

It isn’t about whether Young is a good kid. Doesn’t matter. Besides that he has no underdog cred, at all, and that is the only reason I’d have to ignore my good sense.

Yup, nobody hates the kid.  Heck, he seems like the kind of guy you want your daughter to merry.  Super character guy.  However, he's in a line of business that unfortunately necessitates certain physical traits that he simply doesn't have. 

I wasn't thrilled with last year's QB class and thought we should build the skill positions to help out a rookie QB this draft class.  Next year we are looking at Dieon's son, Ewers and several guys that I'm very iffy on.  Maybe one or more has as Joe Burrow type of season.  Even so, unless Bryce just has a melt down, I highly doubt we are looking to move on until the 2026 draft.  Probably by then he'll be just good enough to keep out of the top 10 or 15.

"Teams didn't just grab a QB because they needed one."

Also, Bo Nix taken 12th overall.

So Denver didn't have a first round grade on him?  Granted that was rich for pick 12, but he wasn't lasting until round 2 and they knew that.

Bryce needs to show improvement.  For that to happen, he needs his OL to play better, the running game to be productive, his WRs and TEs to catch the ball, and a coaching staff that has a plan and vision.

If Bryce doesn't show the ability to play in the NFL then we'll be picking high again and can try to QB lottery again.

The pressure is on him to produce.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
