I just can't figure out what in the actual they were thinking

We tried to create the NFL version of new age art by eating 5 pounds of Taco Bell and washing it down with 2 gallons of that stuff they give you before a colonoscopy and this poo splattered canvas is what us fans get to look at week in and week out.

We had the ball to win the game. No time in this game was garbage time.

Arguably Bryce's first TD and maybe second TD drive were. He did less than nothing until the game seemed surely out of reach. Then, when it looked like things could have turned the corner...

He caved when it mattered most.

I was thinking he has to be in the running for ‘most likely to bust’ though. I am sure there were a couple more. Manziel comes to mind but I think Bryce wins. Jamarcus or JaMarcus was a piece of work and it seems like the good teams should have sussed that out. 
Quarterback Fever is a bad germ to catch. 



 

Everyone knew Manziel was going to flame out, especially once the combine process started and all the stories from TAMU started to get to teams. Dude straight up did not know how to play football, how to read a defense, how to not do drugs. There were rumors that his family was involved in armenian organized crime that were pretty credible. 

He was just that physically gifted in college; he had a huge arm, he could scramble away from anyone, and no matter where he was on the field he could toss up a jump ball to mike evans. Him beating Alabama was what caused Saban to finally get away from statue QBs and implement some RPO elements. 

The way he played in college was never going to work in the pros. Even if he wasn't a polysubstance abuser and was cerebral and willing to put in the work, the best case scenario was always him sitting for multiple years and learning how to play football. He was off almost all boards, notably not Dallas tho. 

This a true story. A homeless person approached Jimmy Haslam on the street and told him to draft Johnny Football. So the Browns did. That was just about the worst place he could have landed, he started right away, and the first time he tried to get to the edge against an NFL linebacker he realized he wasn't as fast as Luke Kuechly and he was injured and never really played again. 

I was at this game. 

Anyway, great college player, absolutely deserved the Heisman, was never going to work in the NFL, hard to call him a bust just because the Browns reached for him and threw him to the wolves.

Garbage time stats might work in our favour come trading him 

Very unlikely, IMO. I think he has put enough on tape to be worth a 5th or 6th, at best. Depends on when he is traded, too. If it is ASAP, the value will be slightly higher because of the smaller cost contract wise(3rd year rookie versus expiring contract).

There have been some wild ones. Leaf. Rosen, etc. 

People are just forgetting some of the insane historical QB busts. 

A lot of that is the power of how bad that trade up was. I do think it has to be firmly in the top 2-3 worst NFL Draft trades, however. I would need to look at the history to see if any come close. Maybe Ricky Williams? IIRC, Ryan Leaf was a similar trade too.

Down 24 in the second half and opposing team letting your check down for 14 play drives……is garbage time.   It’s free yards in exchange for clock.  

now the garbage time strategy did allow the Panthers to get back in the game coupled with Cardinals offensive errors and miracle Panthers onside kick…..and then it wasn’t garbage time.   And then Bryce literally didn’t gain a yard.

I guess. For me I am a layman football scouting wise. I know nothing really. But just 10 minutes of critically looking at Young via videos showed it to me. 

I don’t think Leaf, for instance, would have been easy that way. He had the prototypical stuff. To know he would bust, you’d have to have the skill to dissect his mental potholes. And probably some one on one time with him.

this is a good topic i did a quick search 2007 jam russel is only somewhat recent number one overall to suck this bad. but the trade puts bryce at a bigger level of suck.  

Caleb Williams isn’t looking so hot either, even with the illustrious Ben Johnson as his head coach. QBs taken early bust all the time. It was the trade itself that was incredibly stupid.

I was hard against that trade. My red line is you don’t trade future 1st round picks. You just do not ever do that. That is what Hurney did that turned me against him. 
All I know is everything I watched with Young playing football screamed to me, do not buy into this he can’t succeed against NFL talent.

Here is the new narrative ladies and gentlemen

You’re right, again on X, that’s what’s being said. Anyone who actually watched could tell that the Cards defense was different in the second half…until the game was on the line the last drive, then they went into first half mode.

      that makes us way too light (literally).  I'm not certain Jimmy Horn could run block on the outside if Bryce Young was there up against him.    I'm not anti Horn coming in.  I think think Renfrow probably running too much volume.  He is too quirkly to be running that high of a % in this scheme IMO.  So give Horn some pass down only work and spell Renfrow a little.  I think you need a bigger body on the outside.  Tremayne makes the most sense to me.

      Smitty goes off on CLT on WFNZ

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      How dare fans be upset when Tepper makes us slog through this embarrassing thing he calls professional football, especially when us pathetic nobodies have been right about the draft, free agents, and front office/coaching moves in general than those being paid millions.

      It's not like he's a Greg Hardy or Deshaun Watson.  Those are bad people in a totally different way than Smitty is a "bad person" like you say. Being a jerk shouldn't factor into where he ranks amongst other players in a franchise's history. Luke's career was too short, Peppers left on his own for half his career before returning at the end, and Cam, for as great as he was, was still a very up and down passer who couldn't lead us to back to back winning seasons (don't hate on me, Cam is my Quarterback, love him to death, but just calling it objectively like I see it). Smitty was a special teams draft pick who's dog mentality drove him to a HOF career as a truly 1 of 1 type of player for his position.  There has never been before, or since, a player of Smith's size who plays the WR position the way he did. Don't like him all you want, but he's still the Panthers GOAT, sorry.
