Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

Those are nice stats and all but I want to see more Atlanta games from him. He has seemed timid this year TBH.

That was a falcons defense intentionally trying to get their coach fired.

His performance this year against atlanta, even with the defense carrying him, is just what he is, and closer to his career numbers.

Ready to sign him to a 5 year 220m contract with 160m guaranteed with those numbers at the end of the season?

Yeah, on the radio the other day they were talking about QB1 contract numbers.  You have rookie contracts, FA contracts and second contracts for QB1.  While certain FA QB contracts can be pricey, most aren't that steep overall.  You have a QB1 going for his second deal, you had back up the Brinks truck.  They went through examples and it didn't matter elite or not, those second contracts for a QB1 are eye-popping and cap bloating.  They mentioned those QBs that got paid on those second deals had better be the type that can elevate a team because the cap, as a result,  is too tight to put talent everywhere else on the roster.

The issue isn't the YPA, the issue is the reason why.

And it's because he can't consistently drive the ball downfield with accuracy and on time.  He has multiple throws every week that the average NFL QB is able to make 90% of the time, but he can't throw if he's not perfectly balanced and even when he is, he can't put enough drive on throws 20+ yards downfield to get them into windows before they close.

You can't win consistently or at a high level in today's NFL with a QB like that, and it's not something he'll ever be able to do unless he starts pumping himself full of all sorts of steroids and bulks way up.

It's because of two things. 

One his arm is about average, maybe slightly below average. 

The thing that kills him is that his footwork is god awful and I can't for the life of me figure out why it hasn't been fixed when he's in year three. 

 

His footwork is worse than rookie Cam Newtons was and Newton had the physical tools to over come that but BY doesn't.

You want to see... MORE... of the Atlanta game from Bryce this year?

You mean the game where he had 121 yards passing on 24 pass attempts and no passing TDs?

I think this is a perfect example of too many fans getting too excited about winning games and not actually registering what they're seeing on the field not being good football.

We won that game 30-0, yes, but it was not because of Bryce or anything he did

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
