Young sailed that ball. Should have rainbowed it like another Bryce jump ball

He can't with pressure in front of him.  That's the reason he likes deep drops so he can get the correct trajectory on the ball.  When he has to get the ball over the head of a 6'3"+ player directly in front of him, he has to angle the ball more upwardly than he would like and thus creates overthrows.

Being a tough guy and not making the play.

Go back and watch the replay my dude. You're wildly wrong.

Already have my guy.

just pretty ironic how some people on here.

And this ain’t a try to defend Bryce.

but we have had that exact same throw and coverage and it’s wild how different the takes

Bryce has thrown that exact throw and people on here are shouting from the hills. Weak arm, should’ve thrown it in front with more velocity in front and it would’ve been a TD

Now another QB winds up and it’s “how great his arm strength was.”  As he lobs one behind the kneecaps.  And instead of its should’ve been in front.  “Well it’s  the only spot he could fit it.”

He legit had 10 seconds back there if he wanted it geez 

[Jmac]

No need to pass against our defense

[LinvilleGorge]

I know I'm stating the obvious but good lord we need pass rush help. Penix back there just chilling and twiddling his thumbs.

Probably need a high draft pick plus a legit vet starter.

Our games are so damn boring to watch because teams just run and use up all 3 downs and we get a possession a quarter

I can't speak for what others have said.

The ball was the only place it could be to both give his receiver a chance and navigate the defenders. If you can't see it that's on you.

It's the scheme & playcalling. There are players who can get pressure if they're allowed to attack. Just waiting for Atlanta to make mistakes. That's Evero for you.

Penix already looks better than Bryce. Am I the only one tired of seeing rookies & backups look better than Young over & over? Long list this year alone

Hard to argue that Penix already looks decent in two games of play. ATL does have way more talent though

This is a bad draft to be hunting elite pass rush help, unfortunately.

The safety was a good 3 -4 yards in front.

 

if he put some velocity on it like your claiming he has. 
behind the kneecap with the other DBs right behind him is the exact opposite of the “only place to put it”

 

that’s called a NFL window.
