I know man. That's my biggest concern. Its completely okay for him to take shots and make mistakes as a rookie. But to lose confidence in his ability this fast is really alarming. He looks scared to make a mistake now, which is not what you want at any level of QB. It's about learning from mistakes to take better calculated risks with the ball, not eliminating risk entirely.

You gotta be kidding me pulling this stat card like it means anything. It's not even bad for a rookie. Look at some of the throws made his rookie year. Its night and day. Here look at Tua's highlight reel. There's some real confidence in a lot of these throws. I hope Bryce turns it around, but some of you guys are just straight up in denial about what we've seen thus far.

Looks pretty promising to me

I just feel like I'm taking crazy pills at this point. It's a good throw, but this is a play that Taylor Heineke could make. What are we even talking about at this point?

It's a good ball that should have been caught. But in the context of being THE impressive throw from the #1 overall pick... damn.

As an aside, if the first two reads on a red zone play are TMJ and Thomas, that play is doomed.

I have the game DVR'd and I re-watched the play at full speed. His footwork is absolutely too slow and it does appear to be there even at 100% speed. The ball does need to come out quick, but he's got to get his feet set quicker overall. Color commentator says "Bryce young has to get rid of this" on the replay.

I'm not saying its ideal, but its there.

He still had time to make that throw with proper footwork.

He absolutely has not shown even a glimmer. If he had been selected #1 overall by a division rival, we would all be laughing our asses off right now.

I would agree. He looks like his potential is Teddy..

It’s wild we ditched Teddy to ultimately end up with Teddy. Time is a flat circle.

Cope

Rhule is still responsible for everything. Tepper only publicly fired him to appease the fans, but he still rules as shadow GM. Reich was hired as a puppet coach and does the bidding of the all mighty Rhule from behind the scenes. Maybe one day Fitterer will finally be freed of the shackles and be able to be a good GM. Or maybe he just sucks.

At this rate we might not make it to the bye week before it starts

And kicker

Buckle up. Fitterer is about to make things even worse.

I'm not sure it'll ever really work to have an official farm system for pro football. For instance, guys in baseball get drafted out of high school to play single and double A ball. By the time a prospect is in his mid 20s, you typically know if they're going to make it in the majors or not. Thats essentially the same age football players come out of college. Combine that with the fact that football players have the shortest career by far, and I'm not sure there's a big use case for a traditional farm system.

26/52 180 yards 1 TD 2 INT

No way. Jerry Jeudy hasn't been nearly as good as he was projected coming out of Alabama. Seems like a lot of people in this thread haven't seen him play as a pro.

Almost any #2 in the league would be the best WR on this team lol

This game is still ripe for the taking. Its only gonna take 1 big throw.

Tommy Jone hurt Joe arm
