you can't improve at anything unless you need to improve. and everyone has something they can improve on. if you aren't improving at something, you aren't working hard enough. there is going to be an adjustment from college to pros. everyone, including his coaches and himself has acknowledged this. there are a couple (or at least on) idjit in here who believes that Young shouldn't have to improve on anything or should have NOTHING to improve on because of what drafting him cost us. but the reality is, there will be an adjustment to everything in the game. you draft Young because you believe he can make that transition and excel at his position beyond what any other prospects would have done. you don't draft him because he's got nothing to improve upon. you draft him because you 100% believe, with the help of your coaches, that he will improve and reach his potential.

bust. as in his bust will be in the HoF. those were nothing really to be concerned about because 1) it got worked out because he was a good player and that's what good players do and 2) the overwhelming bigger picture of what he did and was capable of more than made up for a few instances where he had a ball batted down. These with BY are nothing to be concerned about because 1) it will get worked out because he's a good player and that's what good players do and 2) the overwhelming bigger picture of what he did at Bama and what he's done so far in a very impressive set of practices so far and what he's more than capable of doing will more than make up for a few instances where he had a ball batted down or even underthrown a couple passes EARLY in his practices with the team.

Guy drops dimes everywhere and amazes his coaches and all but apparently a couple jags with a podcast is amazed by everything they are seeing from him and you see a couple underthrown passes and a batted down pass and "whelp....that's what you're going to be seeing on the regular guyz you better get used to teh suck"

Quick! Everyone panic!

That's pretty much the reaction I had. Someone posted one or two in the mod forum and I all I could do was laugh because I had no clue what he was trying to say. None of us did. I listened to a couple of them to see if it made any more sense but really it's just 3 minutes of intro music (a Beatles song) with him throwing our names in there, followed by 3-4 minutes of incoherent rambling, and then 3 minutes playing the same song he played in the intro as an outro. No joke.

Lol it's going to be the same poo with guys like ^^^^ as it was those with Cam who never show up to post anything unless there's the potential for something negative to say about our new QB.

Lol you and your panicking. It was two fuggin throws. Two. And how many MONTHS is there before preseason? Nevermind....you gonna keep finding poo to be "concerned" about. You and @CPF4LIFE.

Is that all it was? Lol Anti-bryce crowd is really looking for any reason to be "concerned".

it's conditional.

owners love him because they've made more money because of him. the biggest reason they love him, though, is because he's willing to be the villain so they don't have to. he's the evil face of the ownership. that's why they pay him nearly $70mil/year. he takes the boos for them.

Why would they? I assume they were just anxious to get this portion of the meeting over with as quickly as possible.

Go ahead and shake your head. I'm just saying you shouldn't bank on injuries. Expecting us to not do well because we'll get hurt? This is where I shake my head and facepalm.

Thread took a weird turn. I cleaned it up. Looking forward to seeing the new face of the franchise showing up everywhere and pissing off fans from rival teams.

We were hoping he'd stay inside the rails until at least the draft but the guy was riding too close and then a couple days before the draft he jumped it and it was just too far to let him come back. Of course he started a YouTube channel where he calls a few of us out in the intro that lasts about as half as long as his ramblings. Lots of "ummm....yeah....you know" in between moments where he's trying to be sly saying something but you can never really figure out what he's getting at.

It's a shame that we're the only ones likely to be affected by injuries.

The reality is, we are in a soft division and we have a soft schedule. Tbh, I think that ATL and the saints have improved over the off-season, but none of them have had the upgrades that we have. I think coaching alone accounts for at least 2 more wins than last season. Having an OL that is now set and entrenched and has significant time together building chemistry is a huge upgrade over last year. And then there's Young...whom i believe will be, sooner rather than later, the best QB in the division and easily the top half of the NFC quickly. If we were in any other division, had a tougher schedule, or were in the AFC, then I'd be buying your arguments a bit easier. But that's not our reality. Our reality is we have the best one of the best coaching staffs in the NFC, a still very weak division, and an easy schedule full of weak or new QBs and bad teams. So yeah ... If we can't capitalize on all of this in '23 and can't get a winning record, we're looking at a long road ahead. I just don't see that happening.

it's kind of like watching my 8 year old daughter's softball team warm up before a game.

it's a good thing they've got some big targets. they're going to need them.

I'll roll with this.

Teams that are successful with their new coach see dramatic results almost immediately. If you don't see it early, you probably won't.

No team in our division or even on our schedule scares me at all. We can run over any of them.

We're heading to the playoffs... this year. We're winning the division...this year.

7 wins is not an improvement over last year. If we only get 7 wins this year, that would be more than a disappointment. That would be a sign that we hired the wrong guy and we probably should have stayed with Wilks because even he would have done better than that last year had he started the season earlier. Wilks, given a whole season, given this season, would have won between 7-9 games. Reich and this staff..this team was put together because the expectation is at the very least 9. The expectation is playoffs and winning the division THIS year. And it's very reasonable and reachable.

true. preseason cam was not a good indicator of regular season cam. i had forgotten that.

kickoff returns were getting rarer anyways. kickers were kicking a lot of touchbacks. more than half the league is kicking a touchback more than 60% of the time and that number had been growing ever since they moved the line from the 30 to the 35 back in 2011 or whenever it was.
