Yeah, we have already established that Canales really is quite bad at personnel management. He is genuinely not very good at it.

Watch it.

Okay, what were the metrics?

Let me correct the record after finding this interview. It's actually way, way, WAY worse than that Bryce doesn't work on the footwork problems. It's that he fundamentally just disagrees with anyone trying to correct his process. Wow. Let the record stand that I was wrong and I wish I was right.

Okay, so let me correct my theory about Bryce's lack of dedication to fixing his footwork. I was doing a Bryce Young YouTube dive and came across an actually really great interview with Jon Gruden from the last Super Bowl. Well, it's so, so, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much worse than he doesn't do the work, he just fundamentally disagrees and while he does explain it to Gruden, it's pretty dismissive of any critique of his "footwork." IMO, this basically means his footwork is genuinely permanently broken because he refuses to change it.

I think he was just such an insane, unique athlete and he excelled at so many aspects of the game that he never really had to focus on the finer details until it was too late. Not that he didn't work to get better or any of that, it's that so much just came so easy to him.

That is a hilariously vivid description.

Weirdly, I think it will be an outlier game. Either really good or really bad.

It was fun while it lasted but it put so much undue stress on his shoulder and it eventually failed. Sad ending to a potential HOF career.

I have the same suspicion. I am just waiting to see if that is confirmed in the offseason.

But the issue is that Young doesn't anticipate well often enough. He frequently misses those throws or is late on them because he is so fuging off schedule. The dedication comes from still having the same issues with awful footwork after three full offseasons and three full seasons. He literally sucks at one of the most basic elements of being a QB. And footwork and mechanics issues plague a LOT of young QB's. But it's rare that they have made so little improvements this deep into their careers, especially when they are the overwhelming bulk of the flaws in the overall player. IMO, that smacks of lack of dedication. As I stated earlier in this thread, he literally said he "stepped away from football" in his first offseason after his rookie year. Does that sound very dedicated? That's not normal high level competitor energy, I can tell you that.

Cam was an arm thrower with bad footwork habits too(not as bad as Bryce) but he also had a fuging howitzer attached to his body with that arm of his. Bryce has significantly below average arm strength when is base is so out of whack like it is so often. That's why we see all these off target or limp noodle passes. Bryce is literally the worst version of an arm throwing QB. I do think they did conspire to keep him from as many eyes as possible but admittedly that isn't a rare occurrence in the modern era. A lot of the top picks are choosing to skip these drills. It would be nice to see the NFL maybe make some of this stuff mandatory. It won't happen, obviously.

The NFL would gladly get rid of the refs if a lower cost and effective method were developed. Then they could bust a union and rid themselves of employees.

He could be 6-9 and he would still suck with the issues he has.

I am going to go back to watch his stuff at Alabama sometime this offseason and see if it was this obvious how terrible his footwork is. Maybe I just glossed over it. But, I am also not an experienced eye like a Kurt Warner or any of these other ex-NFL guys doing film breakdowns.

poo, go to the other thread. One of these MFer's is blaming the entire WR Corps for why Bryce didn't play well this year.

I mean....making the leap to "Bryce can only be successful with AT" is a WILD thing. Especially when you basically all but say AT is just better than TMac which I don't think many would agree with. There are elements of his game he is surely better at, which one would expect for a long tenured veteran WR. But I don't think(even that idiotic bum XL) the WR's were the problem with Bryce. I think the biggest problem with Bryce is very clear. He is not dedicated to becoming a good NFL player.

At this point, as much as you can blame him for not improving, the bulk of the blame goes to Dan Morgan and Dave Canales for not addressing the problem. In fact, in the 2026 NFL season, I will NEVER blame Bryce Young for a single ounce of his performance because these gentlemen will have had ample time and supposed professional eyes to diagnose the same things that almost everyone else can see. From 2026 onward, Bryce has zero blame in my eyes. This is all on the coaching staff and front office.

I think the problem has always been that he was never trained properly from the start. If you look at polished QB prospects, you will not see this BS over and over and over. It's always very raw guys or those with little QB experience historically that struggle with these kind of issues or just generally dumb QB's that can't really learn at all but they usually get filtered out at the HS/college level. I did not put as much stock in his mechanics issues because they ARE fixable during the draft. Now that we are this deep into his career with all those same issues, I think the problem is that he just doesn't have the will to change any of this. That's not something that is easy to diagnose. I sorely regret having him #1 on my QB board that offseason. Although I was right about the other two. CJ is a very good QB and Anthony Richardson is absolute garbage.

If we don't do that this offseason, I can assure you that from Dan Morgan down to Dave Canales, you can purge the whole lot of them as far as I am concerned. They will have wholly proven they are unfit to ever find a franchise QB.

Alright, that did make me laugh.

You have a portion of the fanbase blinded by Bryce hatred that screams "TOO SMALL! TOO WEAK!" and then the "Forever Brycers" that think he can do no wrong that are really jamming up the works with the content. It's not an accident that we keep seeing this fuging video breakdowns beating the same fuging horse for a third season about mechanics and footwork issues. Couple this with the fact that Bryce has been in more than one offense and had more than one HC, OC and QB coach in his three years. Yet somehow all these problems persist. So what's the common denominator? But yeah, it will be about how David Moore shouldn't be on the roster or Jake Curhan is better than Austin Corbett or Christian Roseboom is actually a good LB if you watch the games with a welding hood on or some other less impactful thing than......our QB isn't fuging dedicated to his craft.

He's a fuging backup. Ya'll are really on one with the backup drama this week.

I will gladly take a David Moore GW TD to prove me wrong.

I think it's less height related and more that he remains off schedule the bulk of every game. He has opportunities galore, he just doesn't take them. It's mechanics, it's confidence, it's everything. He. fuging. Stinks.
