Other NFL Games Week 7

Ya'll.....look at Stafford without his feet set. This is why people in here talk about Bryce not having elite abilities mattering when plays break down. He cannot make these kind of throws with his base not being set.

Stafford has never got the credit he deserves as a QB

If you’re using Stafford’s ability as a passer as the bar then majority of QB’s fall short of this mark

As big of a bust as Young has been......it does really pale in comparison to Trevor Lawrence. There is no logical reason for him to be as bad as he has been in his NFL career.

Tools wise sure but Lawrence clearly struggles to read/see/understand the game

I do agree with this. I remember people fighting me tooth and nail in here when he was in Detroit. "Well he doesn't win!!!"

Motherfugers, WATCH HIM PLAY. There is no question he is elite. Always has been.

They both struggle with that but Lawrence is a significantly better athlete and an INSANELY more physically gifted passer. He has very limited reasons to be struggling the way he has.

I will say, when he came into the league I specifically remember an interview that he basically intimated that he would be okay if his life didn't involve football and I have always questioned if he was passionate enough to be elite from that moment onward.

Which is also why we talk about there being a lower ceiling for Bryce

I think Bryce sees the game decently well already given the mess this offence has been for the better part of his career. His big WTF plays are typically him just dropping the damn ball

Which leaves me wondering sometimes what does peak Bryce look like. Guys like Sam you’d watch in NY/Carolina and he’d have so many boneheaded plays that you were left thinking if he could just clean these up you’d have a solid QB. And now we’re finally seeing Sam in a good offence and he’s able to play with timing and within structure and those boneheaded plays are cut down to 2-3 times a game

Bryce doesn’t have a ton of boneheaded plays (minus flat out dropping the ball) so I dunno. I think Bryce can be a solid QB. Put Bryce in Seattle or Tampa and they’re still winning a lot of games 

Coaching and overall team matters so much. The only dude that I think could probably do the most with the least in this league would be Lamar

IDK, I don't think Bryce reads fhe field at much more than an average level. If he does, it's hard to see it. He misses reads too often.

It’s year 3. 2nd HC. Seems like Canales is slowly expanding the offense. There’s been a ton of change. Often times zero structure as a whole. The WR and TE rooms have been beyond ugly his entire time here. Thielen was literally the one guy he could count on to be where he needed to be and those two worked so well together because they complimented each others strengths 

I think the whole super processor thing was a bit overblown but give Bryce 5-6 years in the league and I think he’ll be an above average processor that throws with well above average anticipation. That combination should make him a solid QB

Like almost any QB it’s on this organization to surround him with the proper players/coaches for him to be successful

How is he expanding the offense?   Just seems like he is running the  all more.  Our passing game looks pretty mid

    • Said Bryce is part of the wins and plays a key position. Not the same as saying he's the key to the wins. But also not denying he plays a role in them because...well, he did. Even if you limit his contributions to the  game winning drives in the 4th quarter, those still count. And yes, he's improved. but saying that doesn't equate to saying he's good enough to put the franchise label on him. It's just a simple acknowledgement that he's better than he used to be (to what degree is debatable). As to his initial expectations, I'll just say stats aren't the only thing I don't care about. What he is matters way more than what he was expected to be. And what is he? He's what you referenced, a mid-tier quarterback. Not the "worst in the league" or "worst ever" as some claim. That's just hyperbole.  Lots of teams have those. Very few teams have elite ones. And I wouldn't bet on next year's draft having a supply of those either. And again, stats. We used to have a number of folks who bandied about some of Delhomme's stats, Newton's stats, etc. But lets look at a few of those... What metric do you prefer? Yards, perhaps? Well, if those are key then Jared Goff, Sam Darnold and Bo Nix are all doing better than Baker Mayfield right now.  The second best quarterback in the league? Dak Prescott. And Young? Well, he's outpacing CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagavailoa and even Aaron Rodgers. Prefer touchdowns? Cool. On that front, Jared Goff is tied for third in the league with Drake Maye, leading Rodgers, Mayfield. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen among others. Bryce is 15th in the league here, just a single score shy of Rodgers, Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Josh Allen.  Ahead of Tagavailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, and Jackson. Interceptions? Holy hell, Bryce has fewer interceptions than Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence and, again... Josh Allen. Does that mean I can go out and post on X that Bryce has better ball security than Allen? But wait, are some of these stats...misleading? Or perhaps...out of context? Ya know, it seems like they kinda are. Weird, huh 🤔
    • It's how we ended up with Brian Burns and not Greg Little in the 1st. Dan Snyder overruled his entire staff and took Dwayne Haskins RIP. If Burns had been the selection like many expected, Hurney had already said he was taking Little at 16. That would have brought his 1st round success rate down a few pegs. Woof!
