Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

Yes. Both players were undersized compared to NFL standards, who had to prove themselves in the NFL. 

Was 3 years for Steve Smith. 

Mills had a longer route. 

That is a legitimate comparison, I don't care what you think. 

I never once compared their careers. 

Learn how to fuging read. 

I think you example/argument applied entering last season. 

Both were doubted because of their size, BUT when both were given opportunity to play...they just people up and maximized it. 

Bryce Young did not do what they did when given the opportunity to.  

I think the window you are referring to has come and gone.  The pre-NFL arrival size talk.  That's not the convo given we are talking about actual play and what they showed.   So none of that matters anymore.  89/Mills got the opportunity and started proving folks wrong from year 1.  More opportunity, the more people continued to look stupid (as in 89).  That's not Bryce.  Bryce is the opposite, the size questions aren't being proven wrong but reinforced with him to date.

I don’t remember Mills from the USFL days just when he was in NO. 

But when you saw Smitty it screamed oh yeah, this guy has something. Immediately.

So, have not seen anything that dramatic with Young. All I know about him says he is solid with his character and smarts and don’t see a lot of that translating into screaming he really has something.

I think the people that say he could possibly acceptably run an offense designed around him, with top flight talent in support, are probably about right. But I can’t see any Pro Bowls or lofty accomplishments in my crystal ball.

Smith had 3 ST TDs and only 20 targets as a rookie WR. I still remember one play he went deep, beat his coverage and just couldn't come down with it. He was so pissed and they stopped going to him much after that. Yeah he flashed that year and also showed he needed to keep working. 

It's a bad comparison. Go watch a video of both's rookie years and tell me they are the same or close...And if Bryce was drafted in the 3rd also then we wouldn't be having this conversation because we would all be talking up the #1 QB pick this year.

And again with something completely out of touch with the reality of what your posts are doing, which is creating potential parallels between Smith, Mills, and Bryce. And yet you argue that you aren't...

Your posting attitude has sucked for a good while but has hit insufferable lately. Blech. Happy Thursday.

And he still showed more glimpses of special in that time than our boy did in 16 games. Bottom line. 

If they had only invested a 3rd on Young, my attitude would be much less critical. He needs to come out smokin’ afaic.

Let's keep it chill.  Same goes for the Claw guy, especially.

Just to answer the question plainly : Yes I do. I think Bryce is going to prove the doubters wrong and all the naysayers will line up with their excuses and won't eat the crow. Kids gonna ball. 

As an honest question here, what level of performance "proves the doubters wrong"? Guy was the #1 overall pick and came at a tall price. I fully expect him to achieve Bridgewater-like numbers and eventually be at that level of player, but that sure doesn't justify the #1 overall and doesn't prove anyone wrong. Are we talking something like consistent years of top 10 QB play as the threshold for "proving the doubters wrong"?

We should be expecting a fair return for the top shelf price. Which is a top shelf franchise changing player.

edit: Honestly, I will never believe Reich chose Young over those other QBs, given the scenario. His background and history. I believe for some reason, he lied because he can’t say i didn’t want this kid. The QB he has to coach. 

I would just have to see him come out now post employment, and say one way or the other, but the ‘wrong’ answer would damage Young which he would not want to do, and he probably wants to keep being paid by Tepper so that isn’t likely to happen.

I mean, being with the #1 overall pick and proving the doubters wrong I think are 2 separate things 

1.  Bryce will most likely never be worth the pick 

2.  Can he prove people wrong? Well, that’s not that tall of an order.   He can be a middle tier starting QB I think does that.  11-16ish range.  Like a healthy Alex Smith.   I think he can in the right situation.  Situation and fit is what most of the NFL boils down to

Bryce Young

All smaller athletes, that have a passion for the game.

All told they are/were too small for the NFL. 

These are all facts.

The only thing that separates these men, is 1 of them is in the midst of proving he belongs. 

There is nothing incorrect or wrong with what I have plainly stated. 

Any disagreement is going to be strictly an opinion of another,, that has nothing to do with these facts.

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
