And of course people are hyping up at the throw on social media like it's some big statement. Nothing has changed from last year. He was making the same out of bounds throws to dj chalk. When you can finally hit somebody in stride going Down the sideline that would be improvement to me.

I still can’t believe they put all their eggs in the Austin Corbett basket there. Never made much sense to me, but figured hey they must know something I don’t. Hopefully it’s not a continuing problem.

They didn't know something the fans didn't know. They just bet that Corbett could handle the job because former coaches said "he was born to be a center" or some such and he was the emergency backup center his first couple years in the NFL. They gambled and it's not paying off.

Nah I was told even the “pro Bryce” guys are saying it was awful. Who is hyping it up??

The throw created more separation. They weren’t even in frame when the ball was released. Yeah Johnson appeared to have his guy beat either way, but the ball placement left no chance for the defender. I’m not desperate to convince myself of anything, I’m in wait and see mode. I’m also sick of checking for real information on practices and seeing people complaining about literally everything Bryce Young does and arguing about deep ball measurements and how tall he looks in pictures.

Johnson left a lot of room between him and the boundary. There was no need to use all of it and force Johnson to make a helluva catch. 

I mean, Young just had one of the worst rookie seasons in history. Of course there’s going to be criticism headed his way. Young’s deep ball has always been a concern. Accuracy and lack there of. Teams weren’t respecting anything deep last year and that plays a massive role in limiting an offense. So this deep ball thing is kind of a big deal especially in todays NFL

Im glad he chucked it up but his deep ball accuracy is something even parts of the pro Bryce crowd is questioning and a throw like that isn’t great 

Christ man

They'd rather take some high potential prospect that won't play instead of a center in rounds 2-7.  The center would only need to be better than god awful to start.

I still think they did not want a learning rookie snapping to priority number one. And calling protections. And they didn’t want the QB doing it. Because otherwise why not make the move?

 

and the sentiment is bolstered by Corbett already knowing the speed of play and is generally acclimated... he would need to learn less. ?

Maybe that's why, but its a stupid reason IMO.  We don't have a center.  I'd rather a have a rookie take his lumps and learn with a young QB, than not have a center and therefore not have any kind of offense.  You can't protect the QB with a center that can't play.  Interior pressure is game over.

I can’t remember if we went after any of the FA centers or not. I agree with you though, they definitely wanted a vet center with Young to make sure they can get a good honest look at him.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
