Bryce Didn't Ask For This

He wowed them in his interview, he purposefully didn't throw at the combine against CJ/AR, he wouldn't take his hoodie off because he probably had 2 gallons of water in his stomach for weigh in. The only way he didn't ask for any of this is if his parents are controlling psychopaths behind the scenes and forced him into this life

Being the number 1 puck in the NFL draft is pretty much the definition of asking for this. You're going to a bad team. It's not a good situation to play in. But you're making 8 figures and are set for the rest of your life if you behave financially. If you've ever seen an NFL draft, this is exactly what to expect as a draft pick.

Normally and almost if not always the #1 pick goes to the worst team. I’m sure he’s smart enough to know in advance that it wasn’t going to be like Bama where you’re playing for championships every year. 

To be fair, I don't think anyone expected this. I sure as hell didn't. And I knew we were going to lose a lot of games. Just not the way they are losing games.

The defense and ST are good enough. This offense is misery, minus thielen. Sure the OL lost its starting OGs, but boze, ickey, and moton have played very poorly.

If he would have done the combine drills this would never have happened so it seems like a group effort from my seat...

Which is why I’m even more baffled as to why we drafted him…….oh, never mind, I forgot who our owner was for a second.

Not throwing at the combine isn’t new.

    • 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
