They Say a Picture is Worth 1000 Words...

Well, Canales is very positive, so what he was saying this summer was stuff we were thirsty to hear.  Bryce is an intelligent person, so I figured he would learn to use his noodle (referring to his brain, not his arm) and stay a step ahead and anticipate--a film room junkie, always 2 steps ahead of the defense.  

I see no evidence of that.  He reacts.  In the picture above, the man has a clean pocket and his view of the safety may be blocked, but not the CB who is actually a step ahead of his man.  The really good QBs understand physics, and they look for situations wherein the defensive back has not turned his shoulders or his momentum is taking him the wrong direction.  they know the route and they know that the WR is most open immediately after the break.  Finally, they know the WR. 

In this photo, the CB is running the route better than the WR.  The S is coming hard---they are READING HIS EYES.  The do not fear the deep ball.  Bryce has a very good pocket.  Any good NFL QB probably breaks the pocket and runs left toward the vacated part of the field or they throw it away--nobody is open.

Sorry, but cognitively, the area of his game that needs to be above and beyond others, is not there.  This was a TERRIBLE pick.

He may come back and have a decent game like he did last year vs. Green Bay.  But he needs more than a good showing twice a season.

image.thumb.png.2a76717b1b0183989865eb9594094c47.pngI was and have been a BY supporter. But this play... this is the play that proves to me that its time to move on.

Its a broken play. BY breaks the pocket (good) XL throws his hand up(good). BY knows he does NOT have the arm strength to make the throw on the run. He has to try to stop and try to set his base.. takes too much time and gets sacked. 

To me its over...

He literally cannot see the field.  Where are the dudes saying size doesnt matter?  He literally cannot see the field and doesnt have the arm to make nfl level throws.  We are so fuged.

This came up waaayyy back with the anticipation and timing debates. I was on the side that thought he was throwing to spots.

People were talking abut his 'spatial awareness' and poo like that. And the next thing that naturally comes up is ball velocity as relates to timing. Just a rabbit hole, that probably goes all the way to Tuscaloosa.

We should have drafted Rattler in the 5th as a prospect. I would be interested in watching him and XL play. The locker room will not last much longer with Bryce as QB. 

I still stand by the position that we purposely avoided drafting a QB to buy Bryce more time.  They know that Andy is just here to get a check and hold a clipboard. But if you put a 20 something kid in that locker room behind him, it’s a completely different story.

Some laughed when I said there would be a mutiny.  Well who’s laughing now?  Nobody.

you have an example of a top pick starting 2 years running, then getting benched and then coming back and playing like a franchise qb?

 

I think once he is benched he can never come back from that for numerous reasons

Alex Smith is about as close as you'll get.

Blaine Gabbert won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs last year and is currently available.  

Anything would be an upgrade, Just sayin’?

Blaine Gabbert sucks as a starter but he is a better NFL QB than Bryce Young. Based on what I've seen out of Bryce I honestly don't know if there's a single QB on an active NFL roster that I wouldn't take over him. He's THAT bad.

I was pounding the table for that but internal politics on Mint St won yet again. Would've been the perfect antidote to this crap and at least he can sling the rock.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
