Another former NFL QB breaks down Bryce Young's game vs. ATL

The big take away I got from Dave's post game interview was how he was saying the playbook is now wide open. 

We all know this but... Sounds like early in the year Dave was very cautious about what he called as he was not confident in BY and what he could execute. 

Now Dave has that confidence. Im excited to see what he does next year.

I think something that's really underrated is Bryce's threat as a runner. He is not a designed QB runner like Cam, Lamar, or Hurts but he absolutely makes it hard for the defense to defend when he scrambles. If you watch his highlights when the line breaks down, he improvises on a scramble drill and will find receivers downfield or run for a first down. He plays very similarly to Mahomes from a dual threat standpoint. That scramble with a flip pass to Coker in OT reminded me of Mahomes. I wouldn't be surprised if Bryce puts up 8-10 rushing TDs next year if he keeps this up.

Bryce doesn’t scramble to run, he scrambles to throw.  His eyes stay down field looking for a receiver.  That will keep defenders away from him opening running lanes for modest gains.  The pump fake will serve him well.

The play calling was awesome that game seemed like every play had multiple players open by several yards.   Young did a great job of recognizing and delivering the ball.  

Playcalling on offense was exceptional. Falcons got outcoached. Receivers were near perfect with good hands and several athletic plays with the ball in the air. Thielen and Coker were extremely precise. Running game was consistent with some very good blocking. Young had a good day with several single reads thrown to a point and hot passes for the receivers to make plays. Young only needed to complete a handful of passes beyond his first read.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
