Feels like it has to be Alabama fans or something. Though even some of his supporters also are acknowledging he doesn't look like he'll ever be a high level starter and seem to just be arguing about how he is playing now and if his ceiling is backup quality or higher

What evidence do you have that Bryce had one of the best deep balls in college? Just curious because outside of highlights it seemed he wasn't very good there. His strength seemed more escaping the pocket and playing outside structure of the offense, rather than a deep ball. His arm was always considered sort of meh - good enough but not great.

Edit: whoah, somehow I just double posted an hour apart

I get the frustration but the reality is that it's very hard to evaluate guys this year beyond TMac because of the position that is supposed to get them the ball.

Dalton looked better in limited action... So...

It's not like he just had a 23/27 game with 4 TDs or something. He's been mediocre at best. He did just enough this game to not lose and ride a crazy rushing performance.

I think the thing is it's fine to win games where your QB doesn't need to perform particularly well. The issue is that his best games this year have been those games. And we gotta decide what to do with him after this year... Which, I think we know.

My issue too. Even his better games, outside of basically Atlanta end of last year, at highly inconsistent within the game...

20th ranked passing D, 30th ranked rushing D... Both pretty bad We're 10th and 23rd ranked for context, given how much people poo on our passing D lol.

Bryce had a mediocre game overall but showed resilience in the end. Unfortunately you need more than resilience to win consistently in the NFL and he just doesn't have that. Put D gave up 10 points outside of turnovers...

I'd agree he showed resilience and leadership but this isn't really a game to celebrate from your third year starter as evidence of anything other than not losing to a bad team.

Bryce Young on the final drive... https://x.com/BricksCenter/status/1974905504137887810?t=DwSA7gvk6DHxSEVxntzIMg&s=19

Good lord dude... Bryce didn't lose us the game in the end after spotting the Dolphins some points ... He didn't win us that game ...

Didn't fold under pressure and give the game away

Wow what a comeback

Holy fug did they pull it off

Always have... As you and I have said...

This draft class looks so promising and even Legette stepped up. Couldn't ask for more on offense realistically... Now D...

Just one more stop defense!

Goddamn that was a good drive

I remember some people were talking bad about Dowdle... He's really showing up

Plenty of time, a win is still in reach... Time to show us what you have Bryce

1 - that's exactly why I said he's a complication... He is causing symptoms... He's not just a symptom. 2 - People keep saying this about Darnold and it isn't entirely accurate. He was pretty good here in the 2nd half of 2022... He washed out because he still isn't a franchises answer at QB, even after an incredible season in Minneapolis. He's ultimately nobody's guy unless they can't do better... And this is coming from a bit fan of Darnold...

He's not a symptom, he doesn't go away if you get rid of Tepper and not would his play miraculously become worth a first overall pick. He's more like a complication from a disease that requires it's own treatment.

I mean I don't entirely agree with this. Our first drives - where prep is the most clear - are usually good. And we frequently get to mid field. But once the field tightens and the offense has to operate in tighter windows, we can't get passed completed and opponents can defend our run and pass game by just stacking people near the LoS ... I don't know ... Last year we had effectiveness at intermediate depth throws we're not having this year.
