Bryce Young Can't Take the Pressure

It’s not even the pressure. He literally doesn’t have the ability to play QB against an NFL defense when they are actually trying. 

The Cardinals were trying on the 2nd to last drive, but the pressure (I don't mean pass rush) was much less.

He seems able to be a good QB when he has little to no pressure on him, e.g. last season near the end.  But the start of the season when we're still a competitive team, he really struggles.

Also he needs to just start chucking it up to Tmac the way he used to Thielen.

Suspiciously it coincided well with when the score got very close, too.

What's the excuse for his play in the first half?

Not making one.

Young got off to a bad start, but had the team within a score of winning from 20 points down. Then that last drive suffered a lot with Corbett and Hunt both out.

That's not a "biggest bust ever" performance, especially not when Xavier Legette plays as badly as he did.

He had a lot of good moments. It's disingenuous to make excuses to discount them. Evaluate him honestly.

And on that front: To be clear, I'm still not convinced we need to stick with Bryce, but the "worst ever" talk is kinda silly.

XL is definitely a worse player, but was taken at the end of the round.  What we traded for Bryce makes this so much worse.  But this thread isn't about Bryce being the biggest bust ever, lol.

I did evaluate Bryce honestly - but when it mattered most, he didn't come through.  That was true last game, it was true at the start of this game, and it was true at the end of this game. He no longer has teh excuse of not having a good WR, T-Mac is clearly incredible. The fact this dude needs perfect play from the people around him t o have any success is also ridiculous.

Let's be honest about his play, not just in a handful of 4th quarter drives with the game seemingly out of reach.

edit: Bryce is arguably the worst starting QB in the league over his career.

No small part of that is his inability to deliver when games actually matter.

I’ve been a Bryce defender from the start.


But after this performance I can’t sign off anymore. I was waiting for him to scan the field and throw it to the open guy for 12 straight plays so we can win the game on that final drive.

He did not and we lost the game. I can’t imagine how angry I would be, defense and special teams stepped up to the plate and gave us a chance at the end and we let them down. This win would have been SEASON defining. Now they go home and wonder what it would take to win with Bryce.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
