Cam could laser a ball in, but couldn’t thrown with anticipation. 

Bryce is the opposite.

Almost the complete opposite in a lot of ways. 

After seeing a monster at QB for so many years its weird to see a guy with the shoulder width of my 11 year old son. 

BUT BY is ballin out - so lets GOOOOOOO

Cam also used to own the stat of throwing into the tightest coverage. We can’t seem to synch WRs in their prime with a QB in their prime. 

Or a decent oline….

Or a good defense…

Or the running game…

Or a solid kicker…

it’s just been a cluster fug syncing due to very poor drafting

the wr position has been a problem for a while now, hell it might be the worst position ever. Have we had a true 1 outside of smitty in almost 30 years?

Cam could definitely do it, just not consistently. His default was to throw smoke but when he did put touch on it, it could be a sight to behold.

Hell, its a positive start. He is looking to be more aggressive than he ever has in the past regardless of WR's getting separation or not. Bryce does look more aggressive lately which gives him more of a chance to look better. Hopefully this continues with him and some of us who had all but given up on him may change our tune.

According to Next Gen Stats, Young leads the NFL in Aggressiveness (AGG%), a metric that tracks how often a quarterback throws into tight coverage. Meanwhile, Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes sits at the opposite end of the spectrum, ranking as the least aggressive quarterback this season.

yeah, I think that's just KC's scheme and WR/TEs causes people to get open.  Carolina doesn't see that.   Kelce gets wide open.  Theilen doesn't.     

So a lot of Bryce Young's "aggressiveness"is seen on a lot of the short nickel and dime throws.

Probably says more about our WRs not being able to separate than it does Bryce Young actually being aggressive.

 

I watch any other team in the NFL and I'm just flabbergasted just how wide open their receivers look compared to ours. In fact, the only time in recent memory when it wasn't like this was when we had Joe Brady as our OC.

Canales can get guys open at times but it's more Bryce being aggressive via throwing into windows earlier than a lot of QBs in this league. There's benefits to this such as defenders having less time to react to bat it down or pick it off but also drawbacks in that our guys has less time to get ready to catch the ball. Possibly why drops is an issue.

Don't take this as bashing Cam but I appreciate that BY can hit guys in stride. 

Cam was the best QB we ever had... but his accuracy and touch let a lot to be desired. 

Cam had an absolute rocket launcher for an arm and guys like that tend to just see an opening and believe they can just rifle the ball there fast enough. Delhomme was similar in that vein. Cam was trying to work with his accuracy later in his career and there were improvements although his shoulder injury ultimately derailed his efforts.

Not small but extreme differences in size, arm, personality, speed, ball placement.  

Never really thought about it but Bryce is the exact opposite of Cam lol. 

Cam pre injury was damn near breaking fingers when he threw. 

I'm almost sold on Bryce. Im just waiting on the one game this year that he throws atleast 3 TD's for my final confirmation...+ I wanna see how he reacts after an INT this time around.

Some of this is down to the scheme. The KC offense is 75% easy throws, screens, quick throws, etc.

I feel like Dave Canales runs a naturally more aggressive offense in general that asks the QB to make more tight-window throws. To be honest the Chiefs WR corp is better than ours, but probably not by as much as you'd think.

    • 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.
