How short a leash will Young be on?

I honestly think it might be two more seasons. To me, Tepper is convinced that he is the guy and he is going to be stubborn about it. I know that sounds strange given how quickly he sours on coaches but consider that he almost always sticks with a GM at least a year longer than he should. Even after it is EXTREMELY obvious they need to be replaced. That's what I predict will happen with Young. He will get almost all of 2025, as well.

I think he will get all the time he needs to prove he is or is not going to be the future. His contract allows for that. The deciding factor will be how much will the team need to see before that decision is made. Another words, when is enough, enough for Dave and Dan? This we shall see.

So are the scouts or Tepper making these decisions? I’m trying to keep track over here.. 

Scouts scout, they don't make the picks.  However, they give the front office their info. Best I can tell, they are told to look for amazing athletes and not worry so much about those pesky production numbers.  Based off that, the board is collective built and then the coach and GM make a selection...with Tepper's blessing (for the top picks).

He’s not really gonna get a chance to ball out, they are going to protect the hell out of him this season and look like a 1990’s offense with running the ball 35-40 times a game and asking him to make 15 passes mostly off play action. 

This is what I'm thinking.

He was historically bad last season and all we've done is double down on him this offseason - so I don't doubt your reasoning

Then why are they building an offense that nearly hides him? Heavy run with play action. Means he won’t be throwing a lot and the throws he does make will be easier ones and he won’t have to go through progressions as much.

I don't think this is hiding him at all. If anything it will expose him. Every qb in the league needs help. They are providing him with the same amount of talent that most good teams in the league have. If he cannot perform in a normal environment like that then he is exposed. How is that hiding him?

This team is being set up to run 35-40 times a game. Passing when not off play action will be quick half field reads as much as possible. Most of the game he’s going to be handing the ball off and making one/two read progressions off play action. 
 

that’s what I meant by hiding him. They’ve already said they will need all three rb’s and all will see the field.

You don't know that. They have brought in too many pass catchers to run the ball that much. It will be as close to a 50/50 split as possible.  The opponents will have more to do with it than them trying to hide Young. If you haven't noticed the run game was complete ass. You have to be able to run the ball at will to consistently win in this league.

    • If I could pie more, I would. Fantastic 
    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
