That's an insane take. Dude can barely throw 40 yards with his whole body - and he has a lot of body. Is he better technically and reading defenses? Of course he is. He's better than most of the league in that area. He picked up an offense in 2 weeks. Like mastered it. That's because he's already seen and done it all. It's just learning the new language at this point.

I sure hope so. Even the back shoulder catch yesterday was a mauling! No flag. I'm just like how in the he11 is that not DPI or at least holding?!

Does anyone else think TMac is getting the Shaq treatment? He is constantly being held and they're pulling an arm back. I give him crap for not using 2 hands, but it kind of looks like DBs are taking an arm away and refs aren't calling it. Like never.

And honestly, Jimmy Horn needs to take XL's reps. Everything looks hard for XL, while Horn is a smooth and natural receiver with just as much speed but more quickness.

I don't think anyone here is saying Bryce Young is the future franchise QB we've been waiting for. But let's also not act like he has this great supporting cast. Receivers are not good right now. They're improved, but not really a good group yet. The oline has never really been great at pass pro, no matter how much they're getting paid. And the most expensive one isn't even on the field. Kinda weird that you keep circling back to that narrative.

Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game. And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that. I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

Do you think BY avoided any sacks Sunday? Just looking for your opinion.

Wow, didn't catch that! I don't think Chuba's a power back either but he's usually good at getting that 1 or 2 yards. That was an uncharacteristic day for him.

I agree about middle pressure. Blind side is a close second. You just never see it coming. And that's where you get alot of big hits on the QB.

Short list means there is a list. That means he isn't the worst. Not even in your eyes.

Yeah, I never said he wasn't. Though I don't necessarily agree with that. My only point was that sack wasn't on him. It was on the LT. You can argue alot about things he doesn't do well, but he definitely avoided 4-5 sacks in that game alone.

Definitely the loneliest. There's no one to bail you out when you're in cover 0.

Pick a team. I could do it for any QB on any team.

Yeah we're paying too much for offensive guards. That was never a long term approach. I expect some changes by 2027. I don't think the pass rush is as bad as it seems on paper. If Evero would keep Big Bobby at NT with Derrick and Robinson on either side, they'll get enough push on passing plays to allow Edge rushers to make plays.

Huge improvement! Defense alone is enough to call it that. Big step forward with such a young team and so many new faces. That usually takes time. Bryce hasn't really improved from the end of last season. Took him 12 games to finally throw the ball deep. Canales is... better. Love his aggressive style of playcalling. Still takes too long to make the right decision regarding personnel. But he seems to have a plan for everyone on the field. Will it work is yet to be seen - looking at you XL. Evero is inconsistent and too conservative. I just really don't like his defensive philosophy, but the defense is much improved. Players or coaching? They're still improved so have to give him that.
