Crikey!

Appreciate the information

Eh that's hardly settled. His parents were thrilled to have him on the west coast where they have nothing but familial roots. He himself seems more than content. I think it's pretty safe to say even if he didn't directly want to leave immediately he was not willing to continue risking his health and career longevity to wasted seasons here. You guys are going to have to accept that one day.

Well if you're looking for accurate statments. I'd say after one of the most disastrous rookie QB seasons ever seeing Bryce Young look pretty much physically the same after gutting the defense and shelling out well over 100 million dollars to beef up the offensive line it would more than qualify as an accurate statement to say that's not exactly encouraging. Looks like I might be getting an early start on that 2025 QB class after all.

Well boys might as well get started early looks like it's going to be another long season.

Yeah it's a tough situation could have made a case for keeping him given our need but also can easily make the case that he was an acquisition made out of necessity and he hasn't held up his end of the bargain now with two different teams despite where he was drafted. Nothing against the guy he didn't make the trade Fitterer did. Good luck to him. Hey let's just agree to stop sifting through the lost and found bin of teams like the Jaguars going forward considering we're the worst team in the league until proven otherwise.

I'd say we've already entered into the flag football era that ship has sailed. The league can't even get calls right or decide on what is or isn't a catch with high resolution camera angles all over the field. No sense getting upset about it now.

I'm sure other people here remember it these were the throwing drills all QB's participated in and it was at the stadium. Bryce's deep ball accuracy was a topic then and it certainly remains one now I'm just not sure why you are so concerned about me giving you irrefutable video evidence when we all know his deep ball has been an issue. You're falling back on one single throwing session that looks again like a photo op. It isn't controversial or hating to say we need a great deal more than that from our young first overall pick. If you and MasterAwesome want to take turns quoting me and carry water thats your prerogative but no amount of white knighting here is going to change the realities of what needs to happen for Bryce Young to become a franchise QB worthy of the top pick. He needs to go above and beyond. I want to see it. I hope to see it. I patiently await July and August. If he's doing these things I will be thrilled and compliment him. That's only the first step though. We still need to see the results on the field. And we need to see him step forward and take ownership of his team. Yes. His team. He's the guy. I would much rather happily see him succeed than fail and start over and have squandered all those resources and effort to acquire his services. That doesn't mean I'm going to spend the next several months operating with rose colored glasses. Nobody on this roster is getting a free pass after last season. We will see what happens.

Why would I make that up? I believe it was PNP that had a livestream reaction going and they posted it to YouTube that talked about that blurb in there on his deep ball inaccuracy and there was a thread here that discussed it as well. You're saying I'm lying saying I'm hating yada yada after you sought out the post to quote all this on initially. Kinda disappointing but hey it's cool. Appreciate the convo.

Andy Dalton is dogwater. Yes I expect my first overall pick to at minimum be a push in comparison. I do not believe that is an outlandish or unreasonable expectation. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

I like you man but is this really the best you've got to hang your hat on from a number one pick who just finished with one of the worst stastical rookie seasons ever? I see his participation there as the bare miminum. I was not referring to the bare minimum when I said extra time in the post you quoted. And yes I absolutely recall a decent amount of discussion around his fairly awful deep ball accuracy in those drills to the point us casual fans and even some of the independent guys covering the team were concerned but chalked it up to rust. Clearly that was not the case. If he can't get that deep ball figured out our season is DOA. So yes I would be thrilled to see and expect to see our first overall pick going above and beyond developing chemistry with all of his receivers this season.

Well it bares repeating that Andy Dalton who is a pretty awful QB at this stage in his career made it work with the important prerequisites you mentioned. Last seasons results weren't all Mingo and the rest of the receiving cores fault. Nor were said results all of Bryce Young's fault clearly. But you also can't negate the fact that when Bryce Young was on the field every defense we faced had seen the film. The film of said route running and the film of Bryce Young not utilizing the entire field. All of that made their jobs significantly easier. I do agree I have high hopes for our new WR from the Steelers. Though if what I've read from a Steelers fan here who seemed pretty straightforward about his assessment of Johnson is true then we should keep expectations relatively even until we've seen him with this group for a few games. Idk man looks more like a photo op to me. Let's remember Bryce Young looked to be the most rusty and inaccurate of the three QB's in the deep passing drills at BOA during camp. Even moreso than Matt Corral. How did that translate to the regular season? We'll just have to see what his approach is this season.

Was Bryce Young not allowed to put in extra time developing a rapport with his wide receivers? Let's hope that's changed for 2024.

That Scott Fitterer guy was awful. Good thing we cleaned house and didn't keep the scouting dept and hire his best friend to replace him.

Well fug him and the Broncos.

I'd take him in an instant given our need but he has his options and has the right to be picky at this point in his career. Seems likely he will probably be a Jet.

Got my hopes up initially reading the tweet until I got further in and realized it was nonsense. All the same fug the Falcons and Kirk Cousins.

Yeah he's not worth that contract certainly not for us. Have fun dealing with that douchecanoe Aaron Rodgers.

Yeah but it can't be that significant of an extra cost to use grass during football season. Nicole already said the quiet part out loud though.

You'd think. But knowing how he regards criticism and how petty he is. I think he isn't doing it because it would be him giving in. We know he reads comments about the team on social media. There's no way he is not aware of it and even Panthers players have publicly commented on this. Unfortunately this is the same man who called fans critical of him basement dwellers and purposely mispronounced the name of the coach he just fired in a press conference he made all about himself. It's just who he is. Also. Concerts.

Tepper's ego.

Could be. But he's my consolation red zone signing since we are back to the TE position being pretty much a black hole again.

Baffling. All you can do at this point is sit back and laugh.

For a reasonable price given his injury history I'm fine with it. No reason not to kick the tires. Get the deal done tonight.

Yessir keep stacking that OL depth.
