Bryce so far ahead that they feel they can expand their offensive playbook

Pretty much

Being optimistic and being realistic aren't mutually exclusive. I recognize he's still a rookie and he'll certainly have growing pains.

That doesn't mean I can't be happy about what we know to be his positive traits, though.

Don’t they say that the biggest jump from College QB to the Pros is the mental part?  The ability to process the massive amount of information dumped on you from day one?

And our decorated coaching staff littered with innovators and Trail Blazers is running out of stuff to give him?

I like that very much.

Good grief. You can't be this dense.

6, 3, and 10 years. 

Experience in the league of our starting 3. 

There is experience at depth too.

What does who he's playing against go with how he understands concepts?

When another team game plans against the concepts they pick up on tape and try to counteract? I'm waiting for the Jets joint practice for actual evaluation of how far along he is before buying into the fluff. Thank the last 5 years for some of that mentality, and it's generally the time that every presser is general optimistic questions without any adversity to address unless there is a contract hold out or injury etc

And that's why it's a big deal he can maybe learn the whole playbook? Understanding what his offense can do is how u beat defenses.

 

Are u bitching to bitch?

I often fear basing my hopes on preseason fluff articles but I certainly have high hopes. He seems to be such a mature young man, a potential for a great leader and role model and extremely intelligent. I wont lie that I do worry about his size being an issue but if he can overcome that, he will be a very good NFL QB. Hopefully just growing a year or two older and in with professional trainers he will put on a few pounds to protect him even just a bit more but it isnt like he has not faced NFL caliber players and bigger guys in college at a big time level so I have all the confidence in him in the world. A guy that seems to be genuinely that nice and that humble of a human being, you cant help but worry for, support and get behind.

I'm certainly not the most optimistic person on this forum.  My expectations every year have usually been around .500, except in years when they have been worse.  Obviously, there are a few years that expectations were higher, but not many.

That said, hearing the QB is ahead of the curve mentally in handling the playbook can not be seen as a negative.  It can't even be seen as "so what."  Sure, mental processing does not equate to physical ability to execute what his mind recognizes, but we have nothing to say he can't.

Also, if he is ahead of the curve mentally, that will be that many fewer things he needs to actively think about on the field. The more things that are automatic for him, the quicker he will execute.  It is hard to see that as anything but positive. 

Do I expect Young to be Joe Montana in terms of processing, execution, and poise?  No, that is an unfairly high bar.  But I also don't expect him to be Sam Darnold or Pickles.

 

Pickles is a league of his own.  You better recognize!!!

Bryce reportedly walking on water at practice.

Heard he was invited to Belarus to broker an end to the Ukraine - Russia War as well. Do not fret, he took his playbook with him.

The view I'm getting from these comments about Young is that his ability to understand and apply nfl level concepts is that of a more seasoned veteran.  It's kinda caught the staff off guard a bit and that's a good thing. It may not sound like much but it is a blessing in disguise.  

Frank Reich loves triangle reads - an efficient and smart QB can pick apart any defense when running this offense.

Gonna have to go ahead and buy a bryce young and brian burns jersey. Haven't been this excited in a while.

That's nothing. I heard he's single-handedly acting as Ukraine's air defense. It's rumored he's already downed 4 Russian helicopters just by throwing a football at them. Yes we all know he's smarter than ChatGPT, but let's not forget about his throwing ability, leadership, and courage.
