You left out the best part. Starting around 10:33 mark, Boomer said that Bryce isn't processing things quickly enough, which leads to indecision, which in turn leads to receivers not running routes properly. Elite QBs such as Brady and Mahomes are quick and decisive with their throws, which motivates their receivers to always be alert and ready because the ball could arrive at any moment. Bryce's slow processing, poor ability to read defenses, and indecision lead to problems throughout the offense, from receivers not running routes properly to holding penalties to burned timeouts to false starts and so on and on. So the blame shouldn't be all placed on the receivers because Bryce is also responsible for their underperformance.

This is highly probably the case. The signs were all there along the way. 1) It's beyond dispute that Tepper and Fitterer left the cupboard bare. You can't blame Frank for that. 2) Back in March, Frank was rumored to have wanted Stroud, but Tepper wanted Bryce. Tepper got his way. 3) Tepper believes Bryce is an elite processor who doesn't need good weapons to throw to because he is like a point guard who distributes the ball. All the team needs is an elite processor at QB, and everything will work out just like that! Easy peasy, you see? Very simple stuff. 4) All the rumors and first-person accounts describe Tepper as a head-strong micromanager who endlessly meddles and undermines in order to force the coaching staff to implement his Tepper Ball. I do believe Frank had wanted Stroud, but he was overruled by Tepper. When Bryce reported to training camp and showed off his noodle arm and his patented midget-hop footwork, there must have been a giant OH-POO moment as the coaches came to the realization that Bryce couldn't make the throws required by the playbook, so they scrambled to tear pages and pages out of the playbook in an effort to dumb it down and cater to our noodle armed S2 super-processor. At some point, Frank probably approached Tepper to recommend that Dalton start while Bryce learns and corrects his footwork, but again Tepper overruled him, because Tepper wanted to implement his vision of gridiron basketball. And the rest is history.

Stroud was probably 13 or 14 in that video, and he was probably already as tall as Bryce and had similar arm strength and accuracy. We just can't have nice things.

Nick Saban was listed as 5-foot-6 during his playing days (50+ years ago). Adult males start to lose height after the age of 40 at an average rate of 1/2 inch per decade. Saban is now in his 70s, so he probably now stands around 5-foot-4 and 1/2 inch. Now compare Saban standing next to Bryce in the photos below. Saban was wearing his sideline sneakers that probably add about an inch to his height, so he stood about 5-foot-5 and 1/2 inch or 5-6 tops, and Bryce was wearing cleats that add practically nothing (half an inch maybe). You be the judge on how tall Bryce really is. Also, at the combine, Bryce was measured just 1/8 of an inch over 5-foot-10. A lot of that had to do with his thick hair, so he's realistically 5-foot-9 and something at most. It's also important to keep in mind that Bryce was measured in the morning, and your average adult males lose 1/2 inch during the day. There is absolutely no way Bryce is 5-foot-10. P.S. I picked these photos because I have the sneaking suspicion that Bryce wears lifts in public, so game day photos are the most reliable because he has to wear standard cleats.

Except in the case of Bryce Young.

If you choose to die on this raggedy little dirt heap, so be it.

His QBR is still higher than Russell's? That means he hasn't hit the rock bottom yet.

Oh they all crickets now. Most of them were probably bandwagoners from Alabama.

Bryce not a mini version of any NFL player. He's literally Brucie from The Longest Yard.

These videos can be used as evidence against the snake oil salesmen at S2, if Tepper ever decides to sue them.

You don't understand. Bryce was using the technique of positive visualization, which is one of the many advanced tools at his disposal that justified his high draft position.

I can't tell if the drafting of Bryce at number one is serious or satire. If it's the latter, I'm not getting it.

How can you be sure that calzone with legs isn't just Tepper's yes man and house pet?

Everytime I hear Bryce say "Um, um, um", I just want to go full Jules Winnfield on his ass. What country is Bryce from? Um ain't no country I've ever heard of. They speak English in um?

I know, right? I heard he's very poised around the dinner table, and that would translate well into NFL performance according to Fitterer: “You feel the presence of the player, just like the command that they have,” Fitterer said. “As he’s sitting there at dinner, he was so poised and you’re like, ‘OK, if I put this guy in a huddle,’ if Frank and I saying, ‘This is the guy, we’re putting him in the huddle, game’s on the line.’ Bryce is the guy we want our players looking at, knowing this is the guy that can get it done for us. We can win with this guy. And I think that’s kind of where that social part overlaps in the football side when you get to know the person and not just the player.”

I seriously doubt there was time to address his footwork. The NFL teams don't teach their players the most basic of fundamental mechanics. This isn't Pop Warner football. The players are supposed to come to the league with good fundamentals, as is expected of professionals in a professional league. The training camp is where they practice the plays and learn the offense and defense. If a player needs to improve his fundamentals, he is expected to do so on his own during the off-season. Brees, Burrow, Brady, Stroud, and countless other QBs work with private coaches to hone their basic skills. Bryce is such an outlier in that his basic mechanics and footwork are astonishingly atrocious, probably even worse than The Golden Calf of Bristol's. I'm sure the coaches took a look at him and there was a oh-poo moment.

That's an elated Bryce Young jumping for joy because he had pulled off a historic swindle against the Teppers.

Ding ding ding! I hope not, because this version of Bryce is still a turd. The only difference is that the turd curled differently this past Sunday, but it's still the same old poo.

You forgot about other excuses, such as the humidity, the rain, the turf, the refs (a big one), so on and on. It's easier to keep pounding sand than to bring delusional people back to reality.

I wouldn't be surprised if the conservative play calling under Reich was a direct result of Young's limitations.

I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. Bryce has never been accurate on deep throws. During his best statistical year at Alabama, Bryce completed only 36.1% of passes 20 yards or longer. That is freaking atrocious. For comparison, Tua's completion rate at Alabama on passes 20 yards or longer was 57.1%, and Mac Jones' was 58%. Young's deep ball accuracy is not gonna suddenly and miraculously improve in the NFL, which begs the question: how in the world did our evaluators and scouts miss this giant red flag? I thought Tepper prides himself on using analytics, so how did they miss this? 20-yard throws Comp. Att. % Yards Y/A Y/C Drop 2021: Young 10 33 36.1% 416 12.6 41.6 9% 2020: Jones 29 50 58% 1,279 25.6 44.1 8% 2019: Tua 17 35 48.6% 659 18.8 38.8 3% 2018: Tua 24 42 57.1% 944 22.5 39.3 2% Source: SECStatCat

Are you seriously this delusional? Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves.

Kurt Warner is truly a standup guy. He's not peddling copium in exchange for Patreon subscriptions. He calls it as he sees it.

Who's Brycey? Did you mean Brucie from The Longest Yard? I knew he should have eaten some popcorn before the game.
