Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

I have seen Young make some incredible throws that suggest arm strength isn’t an issue, on the run, going to his left etc.  however his height is an issue with pressure in his face

He has made some good throws yes. His arm isn’t great by any professional measure though It might be decent enough, but the poor footwork inhibits it. 
So he has to really focus on that and from what I’ve seen he is not consistent. 
 

peace.

He had a big arm before he hurt his shoulder.  Noodle arm Pennington was out of the league pretty quick.

I probably don’t have memory of him pre injury. I picture a 3/4 to sidearm almost delivery and limitations. Probably faulty memory. 

I want a wrist flicking it for 40-50 yards guy with some mobility and some brains. I know it’s a tall order but we are supposed to be aiming high and not for good enough, maybe.

Well big arm is probably too much credit. He had an NFL arm before all the rotator cuff surgeries in 2005 and onward

The guy from Marshall with the Jets, Pennington I think, had a weak arm but he had some size. He lasted a few years but never did much. 
The team says ‘it’s a big man’s game” and drafts a historically small player over every single other player. He doesn’t have ‘plus” anything and has a minus arm. It will never make sense. 

He lasted 11 years and tore his shoulder up twice. 

Young isn't fit to carry his jock.

I've only ever seen Young make regulation NFL throws - which, yes, compared to what the average person can do are impressive, but he's never thrown a football with the type of velocity where I've thought "Damn, ok".

I still think Lance would be a good one to bring in this offseason.  Learned behind some good offensive coaches, has sat for a while now, has all you need physically, and has looked decent in the preseason and very limited snaps so far.  

I agree and we should leave no stone unturned in seeking actual competition in the QB room. I would say it should be a given and an automatic assumption that we will do that but sadly we cannot assume that will 100% be the case with the history of decisions by our brain trust.

Bryce Young is just a smaller, more effeminate version of Jameis Winston. Has some great plays but turns the ball over way too much

And I still think that's being generous. Not many can throw a accurate deep ball like Winston.

The propensity for turning the ball over without the arm talent.

We wish Bryce Young had Jameis's arm.

Thats was from 20 all the way to the other 20 like it was nothing. Lol

Canales has to be banging his head against the wall in the office every week when going over gameplans and film.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
