How short a leash will Young be on?

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.

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
