Brees and Payton template for Young

When a QB has an average or worse arm they need to get every bit of juice out of the arm with efficient and consistent throwing mechanics.  Brees' footwork and throwing mechanics were his obsession and his work ethic was close to legendary. 

 

For any shot at redemption Bryce needs to dial in his footwork to perfection.  That should help maximize his arm strength and increase his accuracy.  Until that happens (which is unlikely), I'm writing him off.  Even if he does, I still think the ceiling is nowhere near Brees unless some of that "elite processing" starts to show too.

Especially since eye level matters more than height and Bryce has a lower eye level even if he’s only a couple inches shorter. Stroud is 3 inches taller but Brees’ eye level is just a tiny bit lower. Brees is only 2 inches taller than Young but his eye level is closer to Stroud than Young. It’s like the 205 or whatever Bryce weighed at the combine before he peed and pooped 2 pounds off.

We drafted a crazy outlier and his arm is just not good enough and if we waste any more years trying to see if some special offense might make him an NFL QB, that would be incredibly stupid.

I think one of the problems we have is thinking Brees provides a blueprint for Bryce.  He doesn't.  

Because the late stage Brees you are looking at as comparable.....was a HOF QB by that stage (HOF brain, experience, etc)....and was a pure pocket player his entire career.  

Bryce is coming from this modern era of college football.  He isn't a pocket player like Brees was as a young player.  And Brees was a big downfield gambler early in his career.  Opposing defenses weren't able scheme and sit on the pass game in the same manner all game.

I propose that Canales see how Payton built the offense and developed throwing lanes for the short QB. Developed into a HOF QB by giving Brees a line of sight to see the entire field.


They didn’t create ‘throwing lanes’ for Brees. They just ensured a clean pocket.

He is 2 inches taller than Bryce, kept his eyes downfield, and had great footwork and accuracy.

All things Bryce doesn’t do.

Unpopular truth here: Bryce's struggles have NOTHING to do with his height. He can't see the field, makes terrible decisions and throws, with terrible footwork because he's a terrible NFL QB, not because he's short.

I mean, part of the reason he can't see the field.....is his height. 

he needs a Bama pocket.  Which doesn't exist in the NFL.  Because that wasn't really playing in the a pocket.

Agreed. His problems go well beyond his height. His lack of elite attributes is a much bigger issue than the height.

I just flat out disagree here, I don't think his height factors in at all. Other short QBs have been significantly more successful and able to read the field while countless 6'4 QBs are just like Bryce in terms of inability to see and read the field. 

 

His height isn't the issue, it's that the super processor we were sold on is more of a UNIVAC I

If his height isnt an issue then why does he have to bounce on his toes to see over the middle?

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
