Bryce dropback and footwork

Today I saw a guy that didn’t read the defense, didn’t identify hot reads on the blitz and missed wide open WRs badly.  It’s his worse game in what was supposed to be his breakout season.  He was that bad

You're just seeing this now? How? Did you not watch his first 16 games?

Coach speak or not. The coddling is insane. At what point does this org and staff stop shitting on their own fanbase and acknowledge reality?

yeah, to me, this isn't rah rah cheerleading coaching.  The really good versions of that don't handle people with kids gloves at the end of the day.  

to me, Dabo (college level) and Pete (NFL level ) are the king cheerleader types.  But they will unload on people and speak truths in the moment.

You're delusional if you think a coach in his first game is going to say "well Bryce sucks, he cost us the game himself, he's 5-foot-2 and he throws like a girl." That's never going to happen. There's a level of respect in the NFL coaching ranks, and really at any level in sports, where coaches aren't going to give fans the pound of flesh they demand after one horrible game. It's unrealistic.

I put this in another thread, should have gone here probably.

 

What a joke of a channel. I totally agree with these twos comment on the video:

"Stop making excuses for Bryce. He didn't take shots downfield because his receivers couldn't separate or the scheme was poor, but because Bryce simply doesn't have the arm strength or talent for throws beyond 20 yards. How do I know that, you ask? Because during his best statistical year at Alabama, Bryce completed only 36.1% of passes longer than 20 yards. That is absolutely atrocious. For comparison, his two predecessors at QB, Tua and Jones, completed 57.1% and 58%, respectively. If Bryce couldn't complete deep passes at Alabama, which enjoys a significant talent advantage over almost every opponent, then he certainly ain't gonna start doing it in the NFL."

"Did you see how Bryce failed to pick up simple blitzes three times in the game? I ask because you never mentioned it in your video. How did you miss something so blindingly obvious? Is it because you were trying to gaslight us or because your understanding of football is at middle school level? If latter is the case, please close your channel and stop embarrassing yourself any further."

There was. Coming out of Bama he was considered an elite pocket passer with accuracy and touch that the great ones have

I'll never forget someone here posted advanced stats of all the QB draft candidates in that draft and one of the stats was completion percentage to sideline throws, and Bryce wasn't just the worst, he was by far the worst.  I remembered seeing it and thinking "there's no possible way any FO analyzes these numbers and thinks he's worth taking a flyer on until at least the 4th or 5th round...  lo and behold, our FO threw that poo out the window and decided he was worth the #1 pick.

I was out on him from the college season before his last...  it just became clear to me he was the beneficiary of superior talent and nothing special himself.  And again, it still boggles my mind that just off that Stat alone, FOs still had him in consideration for the first round, because paired with the eye test, his lack of arm, his lack of above average athleticism, and then decision to not even throw at the combine - how tf could you look at AR, Stroud, Levis, or even a Hendon Hooker and think Bryce was gonna project better than any of them?

He was never considered an elite pocket passer. Never. I don't know where or how you got that ridiculous idea from. Bryce was touted as a football supercomputer and an exciting out-of-pocket improviser who possessed superior arm elasticity and excelled at making off-the-platform throws.

    • We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy
    • similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.
    • So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
