Fitterer secured Ryan Poles job for 5 more years.

Yeah which I think will burn Chicago a bit too. Poles chose Fields over Stroud

No one thought we’d be THAT bad last year. At best Chicago was thinking they’d maybe get 6-10 pick range with out 1st rounder 

Chicago has need a QB since forever. Poles got very lucky that we were as incompetent as we were last year. And most likely this year again too since they have our 2nd

Before I go looking, can you provide me with what exactly you're looking for? Are you looking specifically for a go route down the sideline where the ball travels at least 40yds through the air and the WR has to snag it with one hand because the defender is still on him?

Genuinely asking here because Bryce will make a solid throw and the same people sharing the sentiment we're discussing (re: not being able to throw deep) will do everything they can to try and invalidate what their eyes are seeing.

If we're having a good faith convo tho, I've got two queued up already.

There are many people within the fanbase that are dug in on their positions regarding QB. They are all understandable. Some believe no matter what without consistent verified results because they are tired of being what they perceive to be negative even though others simply regard it as reality. Others don't believe and won't believe until they see those consistent results from a first overall pick. And that is what separates a jag who can occasionally make certain throws but more often than not doesn't get it done. That's not a franchise QB. That's not even a flash in the pan. That's not even a Sam Darnold or a Kyle Allen or a Matt Moore. That's simply a swing and a miss.

Some people complain to no end about the existence of this discussion but taking that out on fans here is misplaced. We do not control day to day team operations. The staff made the decision they made regarding the first week of preseason and set this back in motion. Direct the complaints of the state of discourse where it belongs. Shooting the messenger isn't helping either.

Yeah just a go down the sidelines 

A lot of Young’s deep completions came on post routes 

I know he semi dropped one into Chark’s lap down the sideline. I believe Chark dove for it but hit his hands 

60yds through the air against Georgia. Read the defense and put it out in front of Williams where only he could get it.

Timestamped the stutter and go route.

Is there a reason that you specifically want a go route and not crossers, posts, corners, or other deep routes?

Yah that A&M ball was the one I specifically mentioned where Jamo absolutely roasts the guy. 

And that Jamo Georgia ball still isn’t the same. 

I want one on one, WR beats corner outside and Young hits him in stride along the sidelines. If we’re talking about a franchise QB this is a type of throw that shouldn’t be THIS hard to find. That’s the issue a lot of us have with Young. His limited deep ball ability and his deep ball accuracy simply isn’t good. 

It’s really limits the offense as a whole

Counting on Carolina’s incompetence isn’t really a luck thing. With any awareness at all it’s pretty obvious.

    • The conversation I had to have with my Gamecocks-affiliated family members last night when they asked what kind of adjustments were going to be made to help with protection was not received well... especially when propped up by the events of Super Bowl 50. 😭
    • I’m worried SC’s lack of OL is going to prevent Sellers from taking the next steps progressing as a passer. 
    • Wild week 0 + 1 but not as crazy as we have seen before imo Kansas St put up a fight, albeit an ugly one against Iowa State only to turn around and barely survive against North Dakota. Looks like this Florida State team might be more like the ACC winners than the 2-win squad from last season. Bama still looks competitive but FSU clearly wanted it more. Frank Reich and Mike Shula are still dumpster fire coaches, but it is fun remembering the 2015 Panthers watching Shula call plays for LaNorris. Speaking of... as much as it pains me to say it, South Carolina looks better than Clemson at the moment. South Florida's thumping of Boise State put to bed any postseason playoff drama for the Broncos.  Tarleton State over Army in 2OT!? Navy is going to smoke them this season. Looks like Wake Forest's strategy of recruiting older players with leftover COVID eligibility to play while pursuing their graduate degree has run its course after barely holding on 10-9 vs Kennesaw State. I've got a few friends from ATL that went there and they were lighting up social media. 😂 Close games for GT/Colorado, LSU/Clemson, and Texas/Ohio State. Nussmeier looked like the better prospect between him, Arch, and Cade. Drew Allar and LaNorris also looked really good. The QB class this season is going to be fun to watch. Tulane whooping up on Northwestern surprised me. Not that the latter is a powerhouse but I wouldn't have bet on that score. Going to be an interesting team to keep an eye on. I thought Kentucky would have ran the score up on Toledo, not keep it within one score.
