Grading NFL's next generation of QBs, Week 4: Huge bounce back from Sam Howell, Bryce Young flops again

Can't argue with the assessment. Most rookie QBs aren't going to perform well right out of the gates and Bryce seems to be one of those. 

But the real question is where will he be after three years? That's when we have to look at long term contracts and is he a franchise cornerstone. And no one here has the crystal ball that can answer that at this point. 

Maybe he will reach his potential and develop into a modern Drew Brees. Maybe he will go the Brady Quinn route and never develop. Maybe he lands in Doug Flutie land somewhere between those two. Or maybe he has the fate of RGIII and falls to injury.

We don't know and we won't know for a while.

And I think that he's suffering the slings and arrows right now because the team is 0-4 and it's not a very well built team and its one that doesn't play with much energy or fire. And personality-wise, Bryce isn't a fire and lightning kind of leader, nor is his coach.

It's a complex situation and all we're looking for is a win here and there, some signs of progress. Sure wish we were getting some of that.

Summary:

Bryce lacks NFL level arm strength, is about the size of a 17 year old high school QB, and looks out of place 90% of the time.  
 

I didn’t waste time reading the article.  Why bother ? 

It’s a good article about eight or so young QBs they do every week. Weird to come and post and not even read it.

I’m sure it’s informative. No knock on your post, I’m just not interested in hearing anything more about Young. His performance speaks volumes.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • 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 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
