My take on the reception by Bryant was that it was a touchdown. If you look closely he keeps his right hand under the ball so if it hit the ground it was incidental and wouldn't have negated the catch. He never lost control and as long as his hand was underneath the ball he didn't trap the ball. In the Calvin Johnson video his hand was not under the ball and he bounced the ball off the ground which is why it was overturned. (wrongly I think because it was already a catch)

Not a referee but that is my take.

it's cool. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. I agree that he never let go of the ball. The ball clearly hits the ground though with it in his hands... Is that not by rule an incompletion?

It depends. If when the ball hits the ground it moves in his hands or if the ball hits the ground with his hands on the sides of the ball or on top of it, it is ruled incomplete. If his hands are underneath it, it never moves, and the contact with the ground is simply incidental, then it is a catch.

At least that is how I have heard it explained by the officials.

Because of that Johnson TD, not TD. The rule was changed. The ball cannot touch the ground. Don't know the exact rule, but the spirit is the same. You have to maintain control. And you loose control if the ball touches the ground.

My first take was great catch, no TD. They must like this guy, so this catch will only help his case. As long as he continues to make the catches, and run the proper routes, he has a chance to stand out. That, and doing the dirty work needed to prove he belongs on an NFL team. IMO, if he can harness his potential, he very well can become an absolutely beastly WR. Glad we don't have to rush him into action, and can just let him be himself.

Just a thought. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This was the case. I know I can't be the only one seeing this. I knew I shouldn't have said anything at all.

Never heard that. Got a link that things changed???

No his hand was underneath it and it didn't move. Still who cares, it was a great catch. Why make it a big deal???

Okay, I do believe I can see him keep his hands under the ball. So upon further review. I say that nasty MFer made the catch.

Just keep on doing that young man. Keep catching everything that comes your way.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
