And pro performance is not pro potential. Equating the two is equally silly.

True, so tell me what potential AE has shown since being drafted?

Norwood has shown potential, as an example, as he has made plays here and there.

How can anybody answer this question yet? Armanti didn't look great, that's true, but this is the first time this guy has done this stuff. Let's give him a minute.

It's not really a fair question but I can answer it.

At that price, I expected Randel El who excelled from day 1.

Randle El stats from first NFL preseason game:

receiving 4 catches 33 yards

punt returns: 1 for 7 yards

rushing: 1 carry 11 yards

Armanti Edwards:

receiving 2 catches 13 yards

punt returns 4 returns avg 7 yards per 28 yards total long 18 yards

rushing none.

i would think he met your expectations.

I saw a player who either had no idea what he was supposed to do, and showed confusion in the passing patterns, but most importantly...dropped the ball way too much. He was certainly given the opportunities, he cannot say he did not get attention, but we'll see in the next game. I must believe that after the first "initiation" game, the bugs must be exterminated, and he needs to show if he can mature for NFL play.

Hardy was my fete' I was thrilled to see the number of sacks we got, under any cicumstances.

I'm not ready to write him off as he is a rookie and it is almost impossible for a rookie WR to come in and contribute, but they royally f---ed up taking him where they did and trading away a future 2nd.

Here's hoping he gets better and silences any doubters

It was raining and Cantwell has the best arm on the team. Yes I am making excuses but they are both very true.

I think it's hard for us to say if he should be cut given Zod's scenario. We don't know the whole story. We only see what he did on his punt returns and if he caught the ball when it was thrown to him. What we don't know is, did he line up correctly according to the play call, run correct routes, block well on each run play (I did see him make a nice block on one play), etc.

Given his proven stats from College, his athletic ability, the fact he seems to be making progress, and I thought Gettis & D.Jackson looked horrible....I would say keep him AE & cut Gettis & Jackson.

Keary Colbert was pretty good in the preseason. Do you want him back Zod? How about Tye Biddle? He was a monster preseason player. Where is he now? Hell, Thomas Davis struggled mightily when he had to switch positions as a rookie, and many fans were calling him a bust even in his second season. You have been around long enough not to make a snap judgement like this Zod.

Was Edwards the only player to play the entire game? He looked completely beat by the 3rd quarter, conditioning is something they will need (and will) work on.

Anyways, he'd be cut. So would Gettis, LaFell, Jarrett, Cantwell, Pike, Bernadeau, Johnson, Brown, our entire 2nd/3rd string OLine, and Dan Connor.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.

      Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people

      His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
