The rookie had his first game and didn't hit the stars but QB is probably going to be an issue all year and he looked decent today with the opportunities he had. I knew that going in because I'm of course obviously biased regarding him but he made me proud. It was a first step in proving some of his doubters wrong. He has a long way to go and much to learn but he has the mindset and will be someone the team can count on in the future.

Yeah I'm reaching here for anything positive but something had to be said. He has much ceiling to grow and will

The definite downside to riding out the season with Bryce Young is these other young players waste a pivotal season of much needed development.

At this point I think you have to try to give them some reps with Dalton.

That's a very good point and thinking about it that way I have to agree with you we

I thought he flashed, ran a good route against lattimore and caused him to hurt his hamstring trying to play catch up after getting burnt. but idk if it was a flash or I was jaded by the fact we were moving the football forward lol

Yeah I realize I'm over excited and it's probably just because of how badly everything else was and me finally coming to terms today that I don't think even with a little O-line help that Bryce is an NFL QB so I'm grasping for straws here

I still really like XL and our draft class as a whole.  Unfortunately the cupboard is mostly bare otherwise  

Agreed and huge problem. I also don't know how any of our receivers can shine or have a chance to even if we have guys that can get open this season with the level of QB play I saw today.

Hell even the coach needs reps as a play caller with someone who can complete passes. Every drive can't be DOA if you want the team as a whole to experience any growth of identity whatsoever

Hell give them some reps with anyone.....any number of practice squad guys could put a better product on the field than whatever garbage we saw today.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
