He moved protection to the weak side of an overload blitz and proceeded to never acknowledge two uncovered defenders, the last thing he needs is more freedom.

Yeah, he should have left Sanders on the left side. But to be fair, he probably didn't think everyone was coming like they did. But they didn't have enough blockers on either side, so really more of a pick your poison. He chose wrong. But after the snap, the receivers should have recognized that all of the DBs were blitzing, and broke off their routes.

Impossible to know for sure, but the free pass rusher was possibly there just to cover Miles on a check down route and when Bryce called Sanders back to protect in the gun, the guy was like ok fug it I'll just blitz? Even if he was planning on blitzing from the beginning, Miles would have been wide open for a check down.

Yep, in hindsight he should have kept Miles over there. But there were 2 WRs on that side. The nearest DB was like 15 yards deep after the guys on the line blitzing. No way he should have blitzed. But he did. They all did. WRs didn't recognize it. I can't put that one all on Bryce. There were plenty of other missed throws that he has to make throughout the game though. But that one, was just being outcoached and unprepared - by the receivers.

Yeah. Ultimately I think it looked DOA and someone should have just called a timeout after Bryce glances at the free blitzer after Sanders moved back to the gun. I personally can't expect one of these WR's basically running go routes to go rogue and run a 5 yard comeback route/crosser or whatever at 3rd and 11 with 5 seconds on the play clock

If he could throw from the pocket they wouldn't need so many extra blockers and would have more than 3 receiving options. Youngs limitations put everything into a corner.

It's also why running out of the formations he can run won't work well enough. It's all a dead end. There is no way to fix that with Young.

I can’t remember, was it reported last year that Reich wouldn’t let him change things either? 

They took it off the table early I think. Like week 2 or 3?

Not sure what he can change tho. Less people blocking as he runs back out of protection? Take one blocker & 1 rusher out of that play and nothing really changes but maybe a 1 yard play?

You would think these reporters would ask those questions. Canales today seemed to indicate it was his fault. 

There were several instances where there was a dump off route on the blitz and he didn't even look that way before he was sacked because he had no idea the blitz was coming.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
