Thomas Brown had things looking different for a sec and then right back to poo. 

Its the short-yardage calls. You HAVE to be under center there. It makes no sense to force Chubba to get 6 yards to gain one yard. App State does this all the time and it drives me crazy, but they pretty much refuse to ever go under center as part of their scheme.

Absolutely without a doubt. He has his problems but arm strength hasn't shown to be one of them.

Arm strength is maybe his biggest overall problem because it's the root cause of a lot of his issues.

When you don't have the arm you need to make the throws you make, it changes everything else.

It changes the plays you can call, it changes the throws he can even attempt to make and thus causes him to make poor decisions because he flat out doesn't have the ability to make a throw if he doesn't have a perfect base underneath him.

Because of that he always feels the need to pull the ball down and move in the pocket, which he also isn't fast or strong enough to do and it leads to sacks and throwaways.  Where in the same situation, 90% of the other QB's in this league can still attempt the throw because they have the arm strength to throw off base.

No, maybe they don't complete the passes every time (although they do at times), but they at least can attempt them, he flat out can't and it has a cascading affect on the rest of his play/decisions.

I watch more NFL than 99% of this board

What starting QB in this league has a worse arm than Bryce?

And again, as I said in my other post, I'm not talking about someone who is a backup who is getting a start because of injury (so whoever is starting for the Bengals doesn't count), but "normal" starting QBs.

Closest I could think of is Pickett, but even his arm is stronger (again, not strong, but stronger than Bryce's).

He definitely has a better arm than Mac Jones. Obviously almost all the backup QB's starting you aren't including he has a better arm than. Gardner Minshew for instance. Ridder is debatable. He isn't a cannon armed guy for sure.

    • All QBs have limitations  I guess it becomes how much of the offensive playbook is gutted to accommodate those limitations ..and the world shouldn’t have been given up for a game manager …but, if he can be enough of a game manager for one season, and allow for BPA in this year’s draft, that’s a win to me as the Panthers have so many holes now.  I’m encouraged that Morgan will fill them im also encouraged that Canales will move on from Young if, and when, appropriate…as HC, it’s about more than just his Offensive playbook     I am glad for Young…no harm in being glad for his improvement.  the tale of  his tape is coming with all but one probable playoff team on the schedule i would love to see them move on from Evero…even when he had players, there was always a reason they couldn’t get off the field.  Salah, come on down  
    • "Our O-Line is finally good, so we should get rid of the most consistent guy we've ever had at RT and roll the dice on a rookie in the draft because it's cheaper." -Idiots Ever heard the idiom "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"? Moton is a Pro Bowl level Tackle. Extend Moton 3 years with the ability to cut bait at 2 if decline in play happens due to age. Look at drafting a tackle in the mid-rounds who is raw but has potential, and let him learn under Moton for a season or two. If he shows progress and looks like he can be the heir apparent, then move on from either Moton or Icky and have the newest guy slide in to the vacant T spot. If Icky continues to play well (And he has played very well this year, people are being chuds about him based on last year) then extend him too. You can't sit here and bitch about how "We AlWaYs GeT rId Of OuR bEsT pLaYeRs" then turn around and bitch when we extend said best players. Who gives a poo if we have a ton of money tied up in the line? That's where you should invest the team's money. O-Line makes the offense run. Hell, draft an O-Lineman every draft. You can never have too many of them.
