First waiver wire transaction:

Matt Waldman's take on Kaaya:

https://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2017/01/16/rsp-film-room-no-90-qb-brad-kaaya-extended-look/

The junior from Miami has the skills to earn a nice second contract in the NFL.

Technically and athletically, Brad Kaaya is the polar opposite of Patrick Mahomes. While both players have starter potential, Kaaya is the textbook option.

Kaaya’s footwork is consistent, he has experience under center, and he throws the ball away when pressure looms. Where Mahomes can scramble, Kaaya does a great imitation of young Peyton Manning escaping a pocket.

Kaaya has a good enough arm to become a productive NFL starter. But because the isn’t a hose hanging off his right shoulder, Miami wasn’t a top program during Kaaya’s tenure, and the junior isn’t a flashy athlete, don’t look for him to earn a spot in the first round.

Don’t be surprised if he drops to the third or fourth round. The NFL takes those resume bullet points seriously when it comes to risk assessment and if Kirk Cousins was a mid-round pick after all the fawning over his golden boy persona, Kaaya could see a similar fate.

Like Cousins, Kaaya has the fundamentals to develop into a long-term NFL starter. In this extended look at Kaaya against Pitt, I cover positives about his footwork, play action game, reading the field, pass placement, and “fat balls”.

There’s also a good segment about perceiving pressure and learning to tell if it’s a problem for a passer.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
