Bear Hands

Oh look, YaYa Diaby (who would have made more sense in our #80 trade up) making noise for TB today (4 on the year).

The Texas one in particular was where I saw a lot of what we're going through. But even in some of their blowouts, they stalled out a lot in the first half. There would be stretch of incompletions, good running plays, and then the rollout, nice find to someone like Burton on the run for a big chunk. Big chunks, dinks, incompletes.

You're not even making sense. Break time.

I'll try mine out, from what I've seen: Accuracy - B- (Have not seen solid stuff here. Maybe 2-3 B+ throws a game, an occasional A) Arm Strength - C- (Has not shown to be effective enough. Honestly, Pennington tier) Mechanics - C (Footwork is just not good and it makes for timing issues) Elusiveness - D (When rolling, has been caught up to by DTs) Release - B+ (It can be pretty nice/quick, even if his feet aren't set, I'll give him that) Size - [erhhh] Mobility/Running Ability - D Physical Toughness - B That is a lot of concerning traits to be supposedly be made up for with "composure" and being a good, high character kid.

How would you rank (or) grade Bryce's attributes as a QB? Ones to consider (add if I'm missing any): Accuracy Arm Strength Mechanics Elusiveness Release Size Mobility/Running Ability Physical Toughness And what is his top ability? This sets aside intangibles such as leadership, character, in-game IQ, clutch gene, etc. (Which we keep being told he has by every announcer, player, and coach) I'm asking because I'm starting to get a weird vibe with it all. And looking at some old 2021-2022 Bama drives (instead of highlights), I'm seeing a lot of similar things to what we're experiencing. The biggest difference was, when they got to 3rd and longs, plays got extended, and big plays were eventually made. But 1st and 2nd downs, consistently, weren't the prettiest and Bama was kind of a boring team to watch. But I won't act like I saw this in the offseason, enough people have been propping him up that I bought it, but, it's getting really concerning. Zach Wilson-level concerning for me. So it makes me wonder, QB trait wise, what is it, what exactly are the traits that he brings?

dammit beat me to it

Who picked Bryce? The correct answer is many NFL defenders

I heard the air in the Carolinas is really heavy today. Obvi wasn't Bryce's fault, a gust came in hard on that run

Fumbles gripping the football by himself.

4.11 YPA

4.35 YPA today. Just FML

Here go, can we do anything? DAL gifted us a shot here

ugh

Sure is as well.

If anyone wants some minor relief, Levis is a complete deer in the headlights today. Looks awful. His first game where he just launches PA bombs was obviously not a proper sample size. Playing full games, needing to create drives, he's got some issues.

Not a single exciting skill position player. Chinn is apparently not a dog anymore. Burns can gtfo with his empty, hollow Spiderman celebrations. He's getting worked, yet again. Horn can't find the field. And there's not a soul on offense. Derrick Brown and Luvu are the only redeeming qualities with this team. Everyone else can GTFO.

This important reset, all hands on deck, "Reich taking back control" mode they went into has produced: 108 TOTAL YARDS, 0 POINTS

This is the most uninspiring football team ever. Also -- Burns blows today. Had one good awareness play but he's getting worked.

If that ends up being Caleb’s last college game, he’ll still go top-5 overall if he declares, but that caps off such a disappointing season for the guy. He’s got damn good skills but man, what a dud this year was for that whole program. His attitude blows too, very entitled guy who can easily get framed as a “villain”

Wow, that about does it for TMJ's career here. What a dissapointment given the talent at WR in that draft. Oh wee mane

I heard we went ahead and painted a star at midfield

A low key thrashing today was what Cam Ward did to Colorado. Wash St had a few disappointing losses this year but Ward has really improved as a passer.

Odunze is going to be a star NFL WR. He's just got it.

I like the EDGE rushers at UCLA. They’re reaking havoc on Caleb

Yeah that's fair. I think it's easy to put him up there. It's crazy to think about how things have changed league wise. The NFCC year, he was like 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 56% completion. He played through the modernization of the modern passing game all the way until Cam's rookie year. Crazy to look back at those QBs stats https://www.nfl.com/stats/player-stats/category/passing/1996/REG/all/passingtouchdowns/DESC
