The kid looks broken already. His play doesn't exude confidence and that post game presser was just sad. Somebody run up there and give this kid a hug.

There's an ignore feature.

Tight windows get tougher. Especially when you struggle to generate velocity on the football. I really think the two early INTs and a couple more dropped INTs really rattled Bryce's confidence. He's really having to reevaluate what throws he can make at this level. This happens with every young QB in the NFL. I just don't know that I've seen one look this gunshy so quickly.

I'm just talking about the overall game. Deion honestly feels like more of a distraction than anything else.

The whole offense is designed to get the ball to a speedster as fast as possible. Their offensive speed is absurd.

If literally everything else goes perfect. Maybe. That's what we're left to cling to already.

All we have to do is surround Bryce with the best offensive supporting cast in football? That's not a guy you make a massive trade up to get. Because when you make that trade you greatly reduce your ability to create that situation.

Yeah. I mean, you can find a highlight reel of Jimmy Clausen where he makes some nice throws. I'm not joking.

That's the one play this year that made me say, "Okay, that's what I expected to see out of Bryce Young."

I mean, I think it's a good play. Don't get me wrong. But is it the type of play I get excited about? Definitely not. It's a play I expect an NFL QB to make. There's nothing about this play that makes me say, "Wow. Now I see why we felt like we had to go all in to get this guy!"

That's where I'm at. Caught, not caught. It's pretty much irrelevant since it was flagged. The end result is the same minus a 10 yard completion in the box score.

No, I think it was a good pass. It was flagged so the end result is the same as a completion minus it showing up on the stat sheet.

From the other view from the front side the ball is not deflected. It was a nice throw from Bryce.

That angle is much better. From the back it legit looked like the defender deflected it.

How could anyone not see this on the video? Ball hit him in the neck...

Yep. That's the one. I had forgotten it was flagged. The defender slowing the receiver down means the ball was actually thrown significantly behind not slightly behind.

So after three starts the shining moment we're hanging our hat on is a ball thrown slightly not far enough out in front allowing the trailing defender to make a play? I mean, damn. That pretty much says everything. It wasn't a bad throw and was much more just a good defensive play but if that ball is two feet further out from the defender leading Chark it's probably a TD. Y'all had almost convinced me Chark had dropped that ball. That's a PBU. If Chark had caught it? Hell, I'm honestly not sure the ball ever even touched his hands. Do you honestly not see the defender's hand deflecting that pass?

Watch Bryce throw the football. Watch other QBs throw the football. The one deep shot Bryce has took this year came up horribly short despite the receiver being grabbed and slowed down. For Bryce to complete passes more than 10 yards beyond the LOS the guy has to be wide open. If he's not Bryce just hasn't shown the ability to generate the velocity needed to deliver the ball. Sorry. Honestly, Bryce throws about like Cam after the shoulder injuries.

Heading to Chapel Hill on Saturday for UNC/Syracuse. If we can win this one it'll setup a pretty big game against Miami the following week.

His arm does not look NFL caliber or even close to it. That's by far the most concerning physical issue I see.

It all blends together. I honestly can't remember. It's like a bad dream.

I honestly agree. There's nothing Bryce can do about his obvious physical limitations. Our talent evaluators made a terrible mistake. It's not Bryce's fault.

Like drafting Stroud or Richardson?

Oh good grief.

Let's not forget he threw what absolutely should've been a pick six a few plays before this happened if we're viewing the full scope of whataboutism.
