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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
