The only thing that drives an egomaniac to double down even harder and get more involved is failing. I don't think there's anything that can get Tepper to admit that he sucks at something that he wants badly to succeed at. Failure just means he's going to put even more focus and effort into it.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

We've made too many dumb decisions to trust ourselves. Trading up was honestly probably the right call. We just drafted the wrong QB. No reason to think we wouldn't do it again. I'm fine with taking a QB in the first but don't trade up to do it. I don't trust the organization to make the right call.

When there is a consensus can't miss guy there, you probably can't trade for the top pick. Unless you deal with us.

To beat the current NFL defensive schemes, cannon arm is essential. It’s the equalizer. Defenses are too fast and film study is too good. You’ve got to be able to hit a guy as soon as he flashes open.

Additionally, Fastballs are also harder to hold on to on an INT. All QBs have the ‘lucky that wasn’t picked’ errant throw. A cannon arm could easily account for 4+ fewer picks over a season. Look no further than our current situation. it only takes 1 pick to completely change a game. 

Can’t teach arm and size. Everything else is moldable.

I watch UGA ball. Just as I suspected, the loss of Bowers and Mcconkey have exposed him. His arm strength is ok. 

accurate and teachable dude with a cannon for an arm, please. 

The last championship QB y'all had was basically a less mobile version of Bryce Young. When you're stacked with talent you don't necessarily need a guy with all world physical talent, just a smart guy to play within the system and play feed the studs.

I have no idea how the NFL evaluations of Bryce and Bennett ended up so wildly different when they're actually extremely similar in tool sets. Bennett was drafted about where he should've been. Bryce was wildly overdrafted. I said leading up to the draft that when I watch Bryce at Bama I see a mid round QB that projects as a good backup/marginal starter type. I was wrong in that I was still thinking too highly of him at that.

He's Will Levis on a better team.

So yeah, in the early 2nd I'd start to get tempted depending on who else was available.

Just gotta teach him how to read a defense and be accurate with the ball downfield.  He underthrows everything.  People aren't open by a mile in the pros.  But it's easier than teaching Bryce to have NFL tools lol.

For me, I look at baseball pitchers for a clue about arm strength. Their m.o. is dial it back from full effort to get control (accuracy). 

You have to have an arm that is big enough to do that with. 

But what I see is Young giving 100% effort to get what the real guys can get while dialing it back a hair. There is a video of Mahomes and Carr that measures their velocity. When throwing at their standard they get accuracy. When Mahomes steps up for his fastest fastball, it sails big time. 

Which practically every Bryce downfield throw did. And people are saying "see, I mean he is overthrowing them, his arm is fine". Okay.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
