Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

I will levy a compliment that I never thought I could ever, ever give the backpack kid. He looked like a football player today. Just typing that gave me chest pain. 

Run game was shut down, but he still produced against a really tough D. He dropped a few very pretty dimes, led a 4th quarter comeback to tie, and got the piss knocked out of him a few times. 

Well done, please keep it up.

Weak armed qb carried by an elite RB and a defense that played its head off

seems pretty similar to me

🤷‍♂️ different Chiefs team too. And I wouldn’t say Bryce was carried by his defense today…they made some good plays in the 4th quarter but overall it was a poor showing. Like I said, Bryce made some mistakes but also made some good plays he hadn’t been before. Specifically those lasers threading the needle two or three times in the red zone. He’s not there yet, not close, but he’s trending upward.

We still had to settle for 4 FGs.  That's the main problem with Bryce is when the field gets compacted in the red zone, he struggles.  Yes, he can move the ball between the 20s for the most part, but inside the opponents 20, we have to rely on Eddie P way too often.

There's a lot at play there, including missing JT and Coker. But he definitely needs to get better in the red zone

263 yards, zero turnovers, completed multiple tough 3rd and 4th down conversions and almost beat the best team in the league. Gtfo go be a little emo girl somewhere else

Without the dropped passes he would probably have 300 yards, maybe another touchdown. The balls he threw away were in such a tight window they would have probably have been intercepted. The cbs broadcaster talked about him several minutes after the game and his growth.

He played well, gave us a chance to win. I don’t understand the gymnastics some are going through here.

 

Was he Tom Brady? No.

 

is he the QB of our future? Who knows. We’ve got the rest of the season to figure this out. However as bad as the projected 1st rounders have looked lately I am happy to feel slightly less desperate to reach for one.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
