FYI: Per Aaron Wilson, both of the guys who got ragdolled by Brown last night are among the Steelers first cuts.

Probably a stretch to say that's a cause and effect thing, but hey... 😕

They got cut because they are still embedded in the turf from where they got smashed.

You're the OL guy @Mr. Scot why isn't Brown pencilled in as a starter yet?

My guess would be because he's raw and has a lot to learn.

Is he physically dominating? Yep. But if he doesn't know the protection schemes and such, he could wind up being a liability.

Remember Ryan Kalil telling the story about how, halfway through his rookie season, he felt like he had no clue what he was doing and some of the veterans or chuckling about it? And Ryan was a super smart guy.

It's not an easy transition.

I completely understand and get all of this, but I have a question:

Does it really matter if your qb gets sacked because the rookie didn't completely understand the scheme or because the vet just flat out couldn't get it done? Isn't the result pretty much the same? On the other hand isn't the rookie likely to get where he needs to be faster by being out there than by watching from the sidelines? Can anyone actually make a compelling fact based argument not just a purely subjective one, that playing a rookie who doesn't fully grasp the scheme results in more bad outcomes than playing a veteran whom NFL caliber DC's and DL's figure out from film or by the end of the first quarter at worst can be beaten one on one?

I am starting to become increasingly of the opinion that coaches do this not because it's actually the best thing to do for the team overall, but because it's the conventional thinking (which NFL coaches are horrible at following even when the conventional thinking is flat wrong), and because of the perception issue:

If a rookie gives up a sack, fans tend to blame the coach for playing an inexperienced player, wheras if a veteran gives up a sack, fans tend to blame the player for playing poorly, or even the GM for not giving the coach a better option, but are far less likely to blame the coach.  I think this tendency in coaches is actually blame shifting on the part of HC's and OC's and arguably not in the best interest of the team overall.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
