What would a successful game for Young look like?

positive yardage and points on the board while we are still in it. 

limited 3 and outs. extend a few drives and give the D a chance to rest. those guys could use all the help they can get. 

bar really isn't set that high. wouldn't have to be that high for him to bounce backwards off it, though. 

what we saw when he entered the game last week is what i expect to see this week.

and by "what i expect to see" i don't mean i will actually be watching the game. i've got no desire to watch that team this year, especially with him at QB.

Disagree.   They aren't looking out of Bryce Young at this point.  It's the NFL.  Dave Canales is looking out of Dave Canales at this point.  That's how this thing works. 

That what he should be doing. Bryce has already got one coach fired. Canales would have been a damn fool to ride his HC tenure on bryce. He gave bryce a shot and when he tanked he made a change. He has 50 other guys to manage, his job was never just to take care of bryce.

He needs a W. However we get it. 

Our defense isn't able to stop anyone, so it will have to ride on the offense purely.

If it means short range passes and a heavy rushing attack, then so be it. Show that he can at least lead that. If it means opening things up and heaving it down the field as far as possible then so be it.

The team's got to get a W for anyone to even slightly take him seriously anymore.

I don't want to see a middling performance, even though that would be improvement. If he throws for 200 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT? Meh. Just enough for the staff/Tepper to trick themselves into trying to salvage him. 

 

I either want 300 yards, 2-3 TDs, no INTs, and a win...or the worst QB play I've ever seen in my life. Definitive answer on how he bounces back...not a "well, maybeeee".

The most successful: W and he is able to pick apart the Denver D and make plays left and right.  Looks like the BY from Alabama.

Really successful: W

Modestly Successful: keeps us in it, but we lose.  He shows signs of things clicking and good decision making but the lack of practice time leaves a lot of rust.

What I expect: a big ole L and another poo the bed from Bryce.  If he's better than that, great!  But otherwise, I expect the same as usual.

I don't care if he throws 5-6 picks. Just show some urgency, some gumption, some fire. Play pissed off with a chip on his shoulder. Take some chances downfield; play with a gunslinger mentality. Make some positive plays to put up against the negative ones. Put some stuff on film that can build some confidence.

Denver's defense is good. I don't expect Bryce will have a great game, but the one thing I don't want to see is the deer in headlights we saw weeks 1 and 2.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
