That Clemson QB has been playing better lately. It’s like something is starting to click for him. 

I think it’s Clemson running him. They start early each game.   Think it gets the nerves out.  And its a bit like Trevor where he is a better runner than the initial eyeball test might have you believing

Drake Maye was like that. His play suffered when they started reining in his running. He played better when he was Superman diving and cartwheeling around.

Fantastic production, but I would be hesitant to draft him. At his pace, he's going to run his wheels off before the season is over.

He doesn't have a crazy high number of carries. The UNC guy leads NCAA in that category

Perhaps. I'm not sure about Young though. I honestly don't remember and it looks like it doesn't matter anyway. Vandy pulled the upset.

As someone who wants to see Milroe in Process Blue, I'm more focused on his play the rest of the season. The defense gave up more points to Vandy than any Alabama team in nearly 120 years! Pretty sure at least one mainland US state didn't exist then.

However, his pick six is literally the difference in the game...then to fumble at a critical time. 

Let's see if he plays tentative through the air or on the ground the rest of the season. If he doesn't and uses this embarrassment as motivation to get to the playoff, he'll be invited to New York. If he wins the championship, he may be the #1 pick.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
