For me a franchise QB/elite QB is someone you build your roster to compliment. (Something Ron never did with Cam on the offensive side of the ball until he was already broken down from carrying the team. He built around Luke which was great, but he neglected the offense.)

Other QBs you have to build the roster around in order for them to succeed. I'm afraid that even with a good offense, BY is this latter type of QB that will just be a glorified game manager and needs everyone else to be perfect for him to be serviceable.

no qb would have succeeded here last year

Unfortunately we will never know this. No one can.

But we will know what we have in Dave Canales and his staff rather quickly. The NFL did us a solid with our first game being in hostile territory against a bitter division rival. Showing up in New Orleans and making a statement will be an automatic immense improvement. That's what I hope to see.

That is how they are attacking the situation, looks like to me. And we get to rationalize that it will be all built for the next guy if he fails so how can it be wrong?

They flat out pilfered the defense to prop up the offense. Burns, the pick and the saved money, offense. 

Bryce Young just needs to really be good because if he only looks 'decent' or third tier with all of that coaching and talent around him,  I'm not gonna feel real enthusiastic about it. 

Which obviously s getting ahead of things at this point so we'll see.

On the other hands, If BY does not look like HIM, has another bad year or looks like he will be nothing more than a game manager, then it's a failure even if we win 8-9 games because it means we'll be back in QB purgatory for years to come.   

I can be ok with Game manager as long theres glimpses of what he could be.  If he is supposed to be a distributor and a cerebral QB, that can come along as the player learns new aspects of the Game IE what Drew Brees and Tom Brady did.  Both were pretty much game managers on their rookie deals but showed signs of growth and flashes of greatness, it wasnt till the second contract where the brilliance showed up.  Now if he's a Teddy Bridgewater level game manager and he's actively lost us games with bad turnovers or hesitant to throw into tight windows in the 4th of a close game and resorting to checkdowns that fall short, then I agree.

There are so many variables that make up a winning team. You can have a really good QB but poor coaching. You have to have weapons that mesh well with your QB , you have to have a competent scheme, know what your QB can and can’t do. So many other things as well. But yeh, as long as Bryce doesn’t get hurt and is out for a significant period of time, we don’t have a ton of injuries on the o-line and our receivers play like NFL receivers we will know if Bryce is the guy.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
