Somebody here begged for us to draft Howell. Many here laughed and mocked me when he bafflingly fell to the 5th.

Well, call the Commanders and offer Bryce Young for Sam Howell straight up if you want to hear laughter and mocking now.

 

 

So many people talked so much poo about him and he always looked way better than they graded him.

He was my 'why the hell shouldn't we' in that class.

Keep in mind, Howell is on pace to get sacked more than David Carr did as a rookie. Still ballin'.

Getting hit and still making it happen is a job requirement of QBs in the NFL. That or being fast enough to run away. So....

Yeah, being able to operate under pressure is just a way of life in the NFL. Especially as spread type offenses have become more the norm. With more receivers and fewer blockers the ball better be coming out really fast or you better be good at delivering the ball with a defender hearing down on you, sometimes both.

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. 

I mean, the review gives him a D grade so far. I know this is the soft days of 2023 where no one gets below a 50 on their school work and all, but in ye olden days, a D in school was defined as "unsatisfactory".

I think most will say "unsatisfactory" is an appropriate description for his year so far.

Would you prefer F-? Even if grading on a curve, that's an unjustifiable mark.

    • 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
