So you're saying we gon win multiple Super Bowls?

Since this photo was taken, Bryce added at least three inches to his hair. His head now looks like a pineapple in order to hide his 5'8"-to-5'9" stature. With their rose tinted glasses now shattered, I bet this photo is a real gut punch to many former Bryce fans.

Lol I was looking to see if there was a down stairway he was on the first step of. 
 

The revisionist history saying no one said anything? No it was said, no one wanted to hear it. They just kept saying SEC and processor and NFL ready. 

Yep, there had been plenty of danger signs all along the path we took. Lesson learned: never drink that 'Bama kool-aid.

2 of the top teams in the NFL are led by Tua and Brock Purdy...

Yeah, and?

You do realize Bryce is a midget compared to even Tua and Purdy, right? Not to mention Tua and Purdy aren't cursed with noodle arms, unlike Bryce. 

Here's Brock Tua in the same photo. Both are 6'1", and their eyes level:

 

Here's Tua next to Kyler Murray, who is measured at 5'10". There is a big difference:

 

And finally here's Kyler Murray standing next to Bryce. Notice anything? There is no way Bryce is 5'10":

 

To give you an idea of where Bryce stands, here's an illustration:

 

 

Here's a couple of more photos to show how ridiculous your physical comparison of Bryce Young to Tua and Brock truly is. Keep in mind that both Dwayne Haskins (RIP) and Cj Stroud are measured at 6'3", and both Kyler Murray and Bryce Young are measured at 5'10", although I doubt Bryce is even that tall in real life. Maybe they were using Alabama units at the combine when they measured Bryce.

By the way, aren't you way overdue for a lightbulb moment? That's right, we passed on Stroud for a veritable midget. 

Haskins (6'3"), Murray (5'10"), Tua (6'1"):

Aidan Hutchinson (6'7"), CJ Stroud (6'3"), Bryce (5'8" or 5'9"?):

That was the work of a franchise QB and a guy worthy of a #1 pick. 

Are you saying there is a chance Bryce might win Rookie of the Year? 

The wind, obviously, for correcting Bryce's inaccuracy.

That was the work of a franchise QB and a guy worthy of a #1 pick.  Incredible drive for any QB, let alone a maligned, rookie QB backed up against the wind and in the worst weather conditions imaginable against a talented Falcons secondary.

Unlike the litany of people on this board who want so badly to crucify this kid & ignore the almost comical level of dysfunction he has had to deal with this year, I'm not crowning him by any means.

It is still 100% valid & fair to say it was a mistake to trade up for Bryce.  I will never argue against that; I just vehemently disagree with the assertion that any other QB would have been justified for us trading up for given how unbelievably inept everything else has been this year.

We are stuck with Bryce for at least next year, and I'm neither a masochist nor a Bryce hater, so I am incredibly excited by this drive.

5/5 for 68 yards is objectively good for any drive, and almost impossible in the weather conditions out there.

Hope he can continue to build on this in hopefully better weather next week.

Could you snap a photo your cabinet full of participation trophies and upload it? I want to see the spectacle.

Please give some credit to the strong winds that corrected Young's inaccuracy.

You're absolutely right. It makes zero sense to remain on the Huddle if somebody wants to actually discuss football instead of scapegoating a rookie QB.

I don't know man. Bryce hasn't scored a TD in the last four games. You kind of need more points on the board than your opponents to win in this league, so it'd be nice if he could manage more than 170 yards a game and score occasionally. I hope that's not too much to ask of a QB drafted at no. 1 and touted as an NFL-ready super-processor, especially considering that rookie UDFAs and backup QBs around the league are showing more skills and fight than he does.

Come on man, he's engineered two game winning drives this season!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

In a battle of field goals.

Game winning for whom? The Colts? Bryce did throw two pick sixes that ended up being the difference in the final score.

Bryce hasn't scored a single TD in the last four games. I wonder if that's some kind of record for a starting QB.

To help my fellow fans better appreciate the difference between Bryce and other teams' backup QBs, here is a compilation of Bryce's best work.

Bryce has 100+ QBR when targeting Thielen, Chark, or Tremble. 50s when targeting Mingo, sanders, tmj, hurst. 

 

If you're gonna cherry pick, then tell me his QBR when throwing to Kenny Moore.

You don’t understand, his superproccessing abilities are so superprecise that he doesn’t even need his eyes open when throwing. Hes that good!

I believe the word you're looking for is positive visualization, which is a variant of the "Think Fast, Run Fast" technique favored by Chad Powers.

that was one game like 12 weeks ago with all the injuries and coaching turnover the Panthers arent even the same team they were yesterday. Aidan O'Connell had 4 tds yesterday and the entire raiders offense had zero the week before. One game doesnt mean much. 

Yes, the sample size of one game is too small. The solution is a very simple one: get more samples. 

Probably late 1st round to mid 2nd round of the Arena Football League draft.

The reason is that none of those QB you listed were the TOP choice on my draft board in their draft class. I had Manning over Leaf, Megatron over JaMarcus by a mile. Demaryius Thomas over Clausen, and Calvin Ridley over Rosen from those names you mentioned. Besides, I knew coming into those drafts that neither Rosen nor JaMarcus were passionate about the game let alone winning. Both treated those games as a hobby and can walk away like its no big deal but most here only look at attributes like JM big cannon arm as why they wanted him. I look for intangibles like their clutch genes along with the passion to do what it takes to win! So unless there was a standout QB that meets all of my criteria in the draft, I would take an elite playmaking receiver everytime as they open up the game more than QB can which I seem to be the only one here who thinks that way!

Your draft board? Is that the Magna Noodle toy you carry with on your daily ride on the short bus? Get out of here with your stupid hot takes, short pants! 

Here's another one. I wonder what shoes they're wearing. Bryce looked 5'8", 5'9" at most. Murray is built like a running back, and Bryce looks like a point guard on a middle school basketball team.

Is Kyler Murray really 5'10"?

If I recapped everything, what's the point in people watching the linked video?

Because your summary fails to mention that Bryce is causing problems for our receivers, which IMO is a glaring omission. The hosts phrased the question on Bryce's overthrows and underthrows in such a way as to encourage Boomer to place the blame on the alleged poor route running by our receivers, but Boomer declined to do so and instead pointed out that Bryce's indecisiveness is the cause of the poor route running.

Another sign that the hosts were clueless and trying to push a narrative is that they characterized Bryce as "that accurate from Alabama". I'm sorry to break it to you, but Bryce has never been accurate on long throw at Alabama. 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%.

You don't need to type hate for people to know you hate. Calling Bryce can not be a NFL QB just cause he struggling with no o-line and playmakers is a joke. You and many here likely said the same thing about Peyton when he led the league with 28 interceptions and benched with the worst record in the league as a rookie but i think he turn out okay.

 

Why not compare Young to Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, Jimmy Clausen, or Josh Rosen? They too had horrible rookie years. 

Manning played 16 games in his rookie year in a league that was much more physical. He threw for 3739 yards and 26 TDs, averaging 6.5 yards per attempt. Bryce at 12 games has only 2192 yards and 9 TDs, averaging 5.3 yards per attempt. At his current pace of production, it would take Bryce 35 games to match Manning's TD total.

A much better comparison would be Josh Rosen, who played 14 games in his rookie year and passed for 2278 yards, with 11 TDs and 14 INTs, averaging 5.8 yards per attempt. That's pretty much on par with Bryce on all the important parameters.

So where is Josh Rosen now?
