Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

[Hoenheim]

What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far. 

I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions) 

It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling). 

Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol.

Overall Stats for his career: 

     ● 14 W - 30L (regular season) 
     ● 0-1 playoffs record 
      ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs 

Year 1:  
    ● 2 wins, 14 losses 
    ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass

Year 2: 
      ● 4 wins , 8 losses 
      ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass 

Year 3: 
      ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses 
       ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs 

Playoffs 
       ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs) 
       ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.

I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties. 

Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

Throughout the season I've flipped between 3-5. I've never felt he's above average. I can't remember where he sat statistically without looking it up, and my morning coffee hasn't kicked in enough yet for me to care too much. But he feels like a QB destined to be about 20-25th best starter across a season. Someone who is okay, but you'll never get somewhere as a franchise with him back there.

To my mind he has fight in him and does make some good plays in critical drives. But he also makes a lot of bad throws that the good can't compensate for. I'm currently between 4-5. He's still missing reads, open throws and ball placement can be very inconsistent at times. And we're three years in now.

Some throws he made last night were great, that TD pass was spot on and I think that's what causes a lot of discourse here. He has flashes of great mixed in with a lot of poor-average play. It's some bipolar QB play. It may be 3-4 years down the line he has that one great season in his career, but how long do you hang onto him for hoping that happens?

Anyway, that's enough tired rambling from me. Peace to all of you, we go again next season. Keep Pounding!

We lost 4 of our lost 5 games.

It's time to move on from the Bryce Young error and give Canales an NFL QB to run his playbook with.

[Aussie Tank]

Every year hes gotten better not as fast as I would have liked but hes gotten better. Im picking up the 5th with next year being his last chance to become alot more consistent. If he doesn't prove hes worth an extension im either trading him or hes an expensive backup for a year 

[PootieNunu]

If he had more fire he would be pretty comparable to Jake. 

Not the best QB around but you can win some games with him if you can run and play a little D. 

I know you guys like to slob all over Jake but the reality is he was never a great QB either, replacement level guy.

Bridge tier QB.  If you put Atlanta to the side, great games flat out have never existed in his 3 year career.  And his good isn’t on par with good games of other NFL QBs.   There comes a ceiling with Bryce that isn’t undeniable and that just isn’t what any team in the NFL longs for. 

He can be the QB next year, you just can’t pay him because we have to be looking for the actual future at the QB spot.  

he played a very good game for Bryce yesterday…..and every QB that played yesteray (and no one was great) generated more offense for their teams.   And we got legit weapons.  I don’t care where Coker was drafted.  No one feels sorry for Stafford because Puca was a late pick.

Things like this used to matter.

Now all some people value are silver linings and cope. Sad.

To whom it may concern, I'm the one who gave him the bottom vote.  He's THE liability on this team.  With a competent QB that has moderate physical tools we are competing for a championship.  This roster, as I've said for a while, is very well assembled and ready to compete right now.  It is hamstrung by the QB.

#5 in that poll

[Adb6368]

What he is today is very different than where I believe he will be in the prime of his career

[Kentucky Panther]

I voted 5. He shows flashes of being great, top 10 caliber. But unfortunately that’s only 10 percent of the time he suits up. Most of the time he’s very average or below it. He’s never going to have a great arm and the two things he’s supposed to be elite at (decision making and accuracy) he hasnt shown to be great strengths. 
 

Bryce can probably make a run with the perfect team around him. But we can’t pay for QBs like that. Give him another year with an improved roster and then try to upgrade.

Sunday we saw 4 QBs play….

Bryce had the lowest comp %, lowest passing yards, lowest passing TDs

And he was good Bryce.  Which sort of sums up Bryce’s NFL career to date.  His good, is below the pack and at pretty consistent level
