okay I buried the lead with this at the end but it needs to be up front, then we have the rebuttal I started out with. 
 

A designated Hail Mary QB, and designated QB sneaker… that is some unheard of stuff. I would be willing to bet a large sum (relatively) that only one player in the history of the league has required those accommodations.

Cool. I think my point is he did not ruin Luck, Luck vouched for him by hiring him at Stanford.
And he did not negatively impact Young. The NFL negatively impacted him because he doesn’t have an NFL game. It was just… Bryce, meet reality. This is the NFL not Alabama. He is still trying to get his game up to snuff and we are in year three. Also the resources used on him after he got to the NFL? We had a bottom 5 worst defense in history basically (17 game stats vs the old 16 game stats make it look worse), because he needed so much help. . 
 

Kyler Murray has a designated "Sneaker" incase you didn't notice last Sunday.

I did not watch the game just the breakdowns. I haven’t watched any defensive stuff of us. 
 

Obviously did not know that. But no designated Hail Mary thrower, Bryce remains alone at the ‘top’.

It wasn't a designated thrower. Reich decided to let Andy do it because he thought Bryce hurt his shoulder the weak before. It was the wrong decision then and it pissed Young and Tepper off. He should have let him throw it anyway, even if he thought he couldn't. It was another reason he got fired.

So if no more designated thrower I guess the Hail Mary from outside of a certain YL just won’t be in the playbook. 
 

Of course it would piss Tepper off lol.

You would have to ask Canales. I'm guessing the 50 YL is the limit from all that I have watched of Young. Granted I have not seen every pass he's thrown. But I have seen him throw a couple that had that much air under it. One completed and one incomplete if my memory serves me accurately.

You've seen Young throw a 50 yard air pass in the NFL? I cant remember one but I usually stop watching before the end of his games.

I have seen him do 45 yards I think. Not saying he can’t do more, that’s just what I remember seeing. I won’t need Canales’ input here.

I never heard that story but Reich playing Bryce when he thought he hurt his shoulder does not make real good sense to me. I mean, he is okay to throw everything else and take hits but not to air one out?

It isn’t a good play with him anyway. He’d drop 15 yards and have to do that run up to launch it and would probably get smacked by a defender.

I think he's has some 40 yards in the nfl but they are rare. Under Frank he never had the time to throw one a majority of them. Under Canales I've yet to see one either.  Whether it's Young or the play call is yet to be determined.

I can't find an incompletion over 44 yards.  And I can't find a completion over 28. 

Not saying they don't exist but NextGen doesn't have anything greater for either on his passing charts. 

Bryce probably could get it 50 but like most big throws he makes he isn't going to make it unless he pretty much has enough time to get set

I’m suspicious of his arm for sure.

That was Frank's excuse after the game when he was asked about it. Young was visibly upset on the sideline and in his interview after the game. All he would say is the coach makes the decisions and he trusts the coaches.  When asked about his shoulder he said he felt fine.

In the nfl he hasn't thrown many at all. Thats on the coaches.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
