Bryce Young May Be The Answer

Everything has to be elite before we can grade Bryce 

Hubbard had more yards rushing than Bryce had passing (adjusted for sacks).  You would think it was a monsoon or a blizzard with those kind of stats.  Nah, just a cool sunny day where the QB leans on the running game and doesn't have to do anything special outside of--just don't turn the ball over.  Success!

We have a nice foundation in place for whomever will be the future at QB and we will add even more in the coming months. All we can say for sure is Bryce will be here next season competing and that's the only logical answer. Anyone making firm declarations one way or another about him being or not being the answer right now are confusing opinion with fact.

No, he's a game manager...at best.  We get to see next year. I think he's about hit his ceiling.

And there have been teams with average QBs and loaded rosters-mainly teams with great defenses--like the 85 Bears, for extreme example, that have won it all with a game manager--but it is much better to have an elite QB....

This draft will have some decent qbs who could become a good NFL starting QB--I think of Cousins being taken with RGIII in the same draft.  I think of Brady being drafted when the Pats had Bledsoe---I hope we go after a guy like Howard from Ohio State, Rourke from Indiana, or (and people might laugh at this, but he has the skills) Beck from Georgia. 

Yeah, Bryce is a game manager--that is all he was at Bama.

Agreed.  

Im all for competition.  They should challenge everyone and bring out the best in them.

All qbs are game managers until they're not. And not many take the next step without quality around them

Looking at this from the Canales viewpoint:  He inherited Bryce.  No emotional commitment to him.  He did not pound the table for Bryce in meetings before the draft in 2023.  He was hired to turn him around, so to speak, and he has done that.  Bryce could be tapping on his ceiling, and Canales will reach a point when he wants more.

He’s playing pretty good on an offense that has a really good rb, an above average o-line and average receivers. Upgrade his receivers and see what happens.

And we could use a stud TE to go with Sanders and Tremble.  That would be an awesome TE room.

We have a Chad pennington that we mortgaged the future for and selected #1 overall. You got to have higher expectations and just being a game manager isnt good enough. Until he can be a consistent game changer and can be relied upon putting the team on his back when needed, he still isnt worth what was given up.

Young played well.   Mistake free.  But still need competition for next year.  The cardinals committed so many penalties i was wondering for a while if they wanted to loose.  Hubbard is looking better and better though.  I would love to see young have a 300 yard game or 2 to finish the season .

    • Calling carrier for getting punched in the nose just to keep us from a 5 on 3
    • I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty
    • And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
