The Perfect (Sh*t) Storm

Taking in all of the current situation we're in - especially offensively, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter who the QB is right now...

Why?

We're in the perfect sh*t storm. This isn't a trash JR thread per the usual, although he deserves every bit of that - this is specifically about the personnel, or lack thereof and why this offense is doomed...

*We have the least amount of starts among all 3 QBs on the roster out of every team in the NFL.

*With Smitty out, the same can be said for the WR corps as well.

*Basically we have a whole new right side of the OL, with Schwartz and Bernadon't. The OL play is sh*t overall across the board.

*2 of our first 3 picks can't play (whether active or inactive), when we had an immediate need at WR.

*The WRs we have either don't get open consistently or drop the ball too often

*Clausen doesn't let the play develop and checks down

*Moore does, but he gambles and throws into coverage

*No mentor to tell them what they're doing or looking at

*No "feel" on reads between WRs and QBs

*THE BIGGEST PROBLEM - PLAYCALLING, it just complicates all the others. The personnel is limited by the playcalling and the the playcalling may be limited b/c they don't trust the personnel.

Out of all that, although I believe 99% of the vet releases didn't hurt us, letting Moose go did. Clausen may be damaged goods now b/c of Fox's handling of the situation... Idk that he was the answer anyway, but, I definitely have questions now. This is just a disaster.

dunno what's going on with Clausen, but he looked beyond terrible today. Saying he isn't NFL ready after today's start is probably the biggest understatement one can make.

In a way, I think they need to start him after the bye to see how he responds... because if you bench him now, he is pretty much screwed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      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? 🫡
