How did nobody catch this before drafting him?

"I was kind of away from football for the most part, just living every other aspect of my life. Just hanging out, being around family, being around friends, getting back to a routine that doesn't revolve as much around football. For me, it was still being able to just enjoy and work out, but the Xs and Os actual football part, kind of stepping away from it."

 

Go ahead and defend that. I'm a fugkin idiot. Reading comprehension was never my specialty. 

 

He does later mention his morning workouts and there are videos of him working out with ISM and later TMJ with Mingo. It was a dumb quote/comment for him to make and doesn’t help his case but he definitely worked out over the offseason. At the end of the day it didn’t really matter.

He even says decompress lol.  Summer of Bryce 100%

The most consequential summer of his life to this point and he's like "meh time to chill".

If that's how he wants to live his life hey all the best. That's not your franchise guy though. Never will be.

Could be and I know that people will scoff at this very loose comparison, but it's kind of like The Golden Calf of Bristol (lol Teb0w). Great college QB whose game just didn't translate to the pros. Happens a lot, but doesn't always get caught in time.

Different style of play, but that’s essentially what it looks like. Windows are smaller, guys are faster. If he were 6’3 maybe he can overcome this situation. What you’re going to see from Andy is simply making the plays that are there to be made. Something Bryce hasn’t been able to do.

Your obsession and hatred for this young man is something you should honestly be ashamed of. You’re grown ass man upset because a young athlete didn’t get you your feel good on Sundays. Seek help, this poo is unhealthy. Respectfully. 

You hear one quote and think you know how this young man spends his time. If you want to criticize his play on the field have at it. But don’t start criticizing his character or work ethic. You don’t become the top prospect in high school with a million in NIL before you ever touch a college field by not putting the work in. And then backing that poo up with a Heisman trophy in the SEC. He deserved to be the #1 overall pick. He earned that poo and you nor any other hater can take that poo from him. 
 

He hasn’t worked out in the NFL thus far, cool. But all that other noise you talking it’s just hate brother.

AceBoogie we don't agree and that's fine. All this other talk about what you perceive to be "hatred" is just you not being able to handle said difference of opinion.

Yeah, this is a pretty irrelevant thing, IMO. I really could care less what he was working on. It does show he doesn't seem to have much passion for the sport. At some level, I think that is a core issue. Not that it would make him more talented but if you don't live, eat and breathe football, it's going to be a tough to excel in this league. Especially without elite talent.

There weren't many people I grew up with who were more passionate and more competitive than I was. 

But, I had a couple of issues that led to my not playing in college and beyond. 1) I grew to be 5-7; 2) I'm a good athlete but not a great athlete. Point: No matter how much I cared, my size and talent level were only going to take me so far. So, I had to find another dream. That's the story for most of us. We have to find another dream. It isn't the end of the world.

Concerning Bryce Young, I posted this last January. I don't think I saw one play last year from him where I said "Wow." As a rookie, I wasn't expecting miracles from him. But...as the number 1 pick, I did expect some Wow moments. MOST number 1 picks will have some Wow moments as a rookie. I just didn't see any from him.

I remember when people here went off on Cam when they found out he wasn’t always in the weight room or practicing. People need something to get pissed about.

I don't remember that, but let's say your right

Cam called guys out his rookie season for just going through the motions and being happy to be there, Cam singlehandedly changed our culture to expect bigger horizions , so if he did want to take some time off , he more than earned it

Bryce however earned squat, he should have spent all off-season trying to improve, if he cared about, but by him saying he did nothing but chill means he is content just showing up losing and going home, he probably wouldn't practice if it was optional

Well I will tell you right now that as I remember he went back to college his first offseason as a pro. 

I characterized it as basically going back to play big man on campus and chase skirts and have fun. He could have gone back and gotten a degree like, after he perfected football.

I just wanted to see him work on it like we all want to see Bryce work on it. That is exclusive of previous performance, that has no bearing on things because anyone can get better. The best to the worst. 

You couldn't ask for that and not be called names, the same as you couldn't doubt Bryce before he proved what he really was.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
