Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t. 

If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan. 

I think part of the difficulty might be that QBs have a lot of trouble once they come off the Alabama assembly line. That's a tight program focused on competing in the SEC and that school always has a succession line of QBs rolling. They can shred at the college level and then really have difficulty finding their footing in the pros.

They can and do, however, eventually find it if they can last long enough. Will our guy? We're just going to have to wait and see. I think he's got this season to prove himself before the team gets antsy and the coach decides to move along to his own handpicked QB.

I know he was ranked high as a college prospect. But he stopped growing. I know they won with him but as a non Alabama fan wonder who the hell he beat out for that job and how bad were they? Rhetorical ….
For my money the Alabama QBs after Namath were just not NFL.  I might be forgetting someone.

I  Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance.

 

 

Why does he have to be benched for a hail mary pass? He got a chance to redeem himself a couple of weeks ago and the ball went 7 yards. Every QB in the NFL can make that throw....except one. 

I wont get into QB sneaks.

Week three of the 2023 season, the big question was answered. In a loss. Everything since then has been face saving bullshit. 

Almost everything

Lmao Burrow and Hurts don’t have a stronger arm, do you even watch other games? There are throws in the panthers offense with Bryce the eagles have never ran with Hurts. And they actually have fast WR

 

It was during the draft process, I’m not gonna look for an almost 4 year old video.

I also wouldn't say Bryce has a stronger arm than them.  Arm strength probably on par.....but Burrow just a vastly superior passer than both of them.   Jalen obviously one of the premier QBs on the ground.  

Then we have our guy.....who doesn't actually have a trait that makes him stand out.

This thing has been dragged around the mulberry bush so many times I had forgotten that was a major objection of mine to taking him.

Physical traits… where are the things that are above average by NFL standards?  There wasn’t a single one. To go with the below average stuff. 

It was all processor point guard facilitator gobbledygook.

When did he get benched for a Hail Mary pass? WTF are you talking about??!!

Cam did for Heinicke after his shoulder injury.

Do people on this board even watch the games?

lol, how do you lecture folks about not watching games and then not know about Bryce being taken out for a hail mary? 

and yeah, Cam got subbed out because the coach knew he didn't have the arm for it.  That's what coaches do when you don't have the arm for it.

I'll be honest, Dave went to such great coaching efforts to get us in position for the hail mary attempt I was actually sort of excited to see what Bryce had in him.   I felt for sure Dave was going to flat out get that debate settled.  I mean, how could he not.  And then.......all that for a Tommy Tremble screen lol.

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
