I wasn't aware football games were decided by the number of passes that went 10 yards downfield.

He'd want Josh Allen gone after his last game

Yeah it was a great throw, but also, he's an NFL quarterback lol we should expect this regularly

Agreed, however there are many QBs that don't place it perfectly.

As my daughter says that OA.  Bryce is pretty good at ball placement.

He really isn’t. He’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen at it. People like to whine about drops but most of the times receivers get a finger on the ball and someone screeches it was a drop it’s because it was way high, low, behind, ahead of, anywhere other than placed well. That includes these screens and dump offs. He just happened to throw this one well.

Opinion

Every touchdown he threw yesterday were pin point money passes.  He's had several passes this season that have been money shots.

This is the frustrating part.  He sometimes does it but most of the time doesnt.

This is a really weird thread to make when we have abundant examples of Bryce missing routine throws to the flat.

He's made some good throws but there's a reason he is bottom of the league thru his career in YPA and YPG.

Happy for him yesterday and really hope he builds on it!

there are many NFL QB who don't make that pass perfectly on every attempt. We even seen Mr Young attempt it many times and he has been low, high, behind, or too far in front. It takes time and practicing it over and over to get it right.  Maybe he is finally starting to understand the art of throwing. Josh Allen didn't get better till his 3rd year in the league, and it was his 4th year it all came together for him. Even Drew and Baker weren't great QB's at the start.

each of the last 3 seasons, he has been top 10 in bad throw %.   But to his credit this season he isn’t the leagues worst/leader like the prior 2. 

I think ball placement is one of his biggest weaknesses to date. I think a lot of it is a vision/footwork issue in reality.

And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce

Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier. 

Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford

People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert. 

Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though. 

I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that. 

Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here. 

Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses. 

So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well

I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s

What is a WTF moment? Rhetorical….

Two 3rd down sacks to take the team out of FG range just yesterday, were pretty WTF? to me - and that came in a game he is hailed as the future for. Not a total fail game, one of his best. 

He had great protection on both those 4th down plays, and did not fug them up. Did his job. Neither was some astounding rare can’t believe it type of throw. It was a good throw, he kept his head straight through that moment and didn’t glitch and executed. It was the situation that was the bigger challenge. Don’t fug it up. That was good to see. 
The last pass to seal the clock and get to kneel down was a much tougher pass.  
Most of it is just don’t freak out, focus and do what you are trained to do. Let the training take over. People have a hard time getting into that space. 
He seems like he has that in his grasp. A lot of guys never get that.
But the way you have to play with him is not really … an asset. Don’t know how to say it.

According to Pro Football Reference advanced stats, Bryce Young is currently 9th in on-target percentage. Take that for what you will I suppose.

Disregard, can't read. Still learning.
