I think we're in serious denial about receivers not getting open. Sorry, but there were some terrible overthrows to receivers who were open and had outrun the DB on them. I'll give Bryce the benefit of the doubt and say he and the receivers need to work on timing. There were also some routes where the receiver thought the play was busted so quit running full speed, but had they continued Bryce likely would have hit them in stride. I don't think speed is an issue for the receiving corps. Execution as an offensive unit is the problem.

This dude just frustrates me.

Wellp, he played like ass. Looked like ass. Looked like one of the worst rookie performances we've ever had. Sorry, but that's reality.

Arm strength was good enough to overthrow receivers multiple times

I didn't read your follow-up post. Generally speaking, the smart thing to do would be to put all of your points into one post, rather than back-to-back posts. You did a fine job of leaving out the tiny little 99 YARD detail in regard to said non-touchdown.

I mean... he looked like Jimmy Clausen out there dude... But like I said, I, along with every one of you, pray that I'm wrong. I genuinely do. I'd love to be wrong.

Sure did look to me like he missed a wide open 99 yard touchdown to Mingo who had at least a step.

I was extremely unsatisfied with Bryce Young as a draft pick. I felt he sh*t the bed pretty badly yesterday, and I'm not willing to use "he's a rookie" as an excuse. It's a weak excuse, and the mistakes he made had little to do with him being a rookie. Overall, I'm not excited or hopeful about him as the future of the franchise either. All that being said, benching him now would ENSURE his failure and absolutely destroy his confidence. You can't make that move at this point. That decision would have had to have been made back in early August. You have to stick with your horse and pray he figures it out, and pray that guys like me are wrong.

I agree it's Brady-ish, but Brady's stride got him significantly further from the pass rush due to the height difference. This can be seen easily on film. Generally when I see a smaller guy I expect him to have jack rabbit type movement in the feet. His slow ass backdrop is going to let rushers get to him before he's set because he's a foot more closer to them than the prototype sized qb. The successful smaller QBs are all very quick in the feet. Also, lets not forget what Aaron Rodgers throwing motion and mechanics looked like when he was in college vs what coaches were able to do with him in the pros. It's fixable. Screenshot this post. I absolutely guarantee we will be bitching about this exact problem later in the season.

Another thing I've noticed few people discussing is his woefully slow dropback and flat feet. Zero urgency in his dropback. Thankfully I think that's relatively coachable.

I don't think it was solely due to his height either, but a contributing factor.

The Eagles have always been my second favorite team, so I guess I've got that going for me... and I do count myself as a huge Patrick Mahomes fan... to the point where I've considered buying his jersey. So I guess I have a shot at a silver lining to this season.

Nope. I don't even have enough hope in them to feel despair. I just kinda wish for the best, but I haven't set aside time on Sundays for football for a few years now. Unfortunately I'm kind of forced to go to all the home games this year because the company I work for invested heavily in season tickets, field passes, etc... and my main job these days is entertaining customers... You know the team sucks when you're not even excited about all you can eat crab legs.

I am nearly positive the second INT occurred because Bryce couldn't clearly see past the offensive line and those big bodies were blocking the view of Bates.

Part of being good is being healthy. You can't be a good player if you can't be consistently available for the team. There are two outcomes as far as I can see. The bad one: Trade or cut him The good one: He ends up like TD and gets through the injury bug phase of his career to become a legendary player for us.

I'm calm. Bryce is precisely who I thought he was.

He's not worth even close to what Bosa is, but ultimately if we make the deal now, in a season or two some other dumbass team is going to overpay an edge rusher and Burns will look like a steal.

If Fitterer I'm on the phone right now. At worst you make Houston a rotational player, where I think he'd excel while simultaneously getting an insurance policy in case Burns plays hard ball.

Correct. That team doesn't exist anymore. A substantially more talented, more well-coached one does instead.

Makes me wish we'd paid Reddick.

This rookie QB is inheriting a team that was one game away from winning the division, and likely would have won the division if the brass had shitcanned the HC a week or two sooner. I would also argue that the defense he's inheriting is insane from a talent and coaching perspective. One of the more loaded defenses in the NFL. All I'm saying is everybody who has been gushing over Bryce Young had damn well better hope he delivers. This team is absolutely built and ready to go the playoffs right now. We don't need to be building excuses in for him before his first start when everyone has been crowning him as the second coming of Peyton Manning from a mental perspective.

Nope. I'm not letting our supposed "savant" of a draft pick off the hook. He's diagnosing plays like "15 year vet" and "leading offensive meetings"... he'd better deliver.

The fact that we beat their almost identical roster twice last year, and we dramatically improved the overall roster (WR included, IMO) tells me that none of what you're saying pans out anywhere but paper.

I honestly don't think any of that is correct. I think the Saints roster is absolute garbage.

Please find a roster in the NFCS that is better than ours.
