Reviewing Bryce draft projections, and a word on “flashing”

I'm not sure how hard we've tried. How hard can you really coach the owner's chosen one? I bet he got coached harder by Saban at Alabama than he has been here simply because Saban ain't afraid of stepping on toes.

I totally agree with you on this. Bryce fooled a lot of people since he played at BAMA, but even the anti-Bryce crowd will admit he didn't look this bad in college. He made a lot of big time throws in college. I'm sure playing on a stocked roster helped, but he still had to deliver the ball to the receivers. Saban wouldn't have started him otherwise.

If BY's game tape at Alabama looked as bad as it has thru 12 games this season I don't think he would have even been drafted.

Stroud said "I'm not a test taker, I play football"  wise words

The kid is everything a team could have hoped for at first overall. We're never going to wash away passing on that unless we somehow back our way into another Jake or Cam. But that's not happening with David Tepper thinking he and his wife know how to run a football team.

Would've been like taking Gabbert over Cam.

I’m no football expert but idk how anyone watched what Young did at Alabama and actually thought that his backyard style of QB would ever translate to the NFL. The majority of stuff he did in college is what NFL coaches teach guys never to do. Hell, it’s one of the main reasons the Chiefs sat Mahomes for a year. They knew his intangibles were off the charts but the kid needed a hard reset on how to play QB.

Bryce had so many blatant red flags I will never understand how he was ever in the conversation for number 1 overall. Only thing I can think of is “BAMA” and “HEISMAN”.

We’re now seeing the same bullshit propaganda machine go to work for Jalen Milroe.

    • I'm not disagreeing with anything that you said here.  I personally feel he should be doing better,  although the fact remains,  he didn't have to carry the team, and right now, I don't believe anybody really ants the team to be in position for him to have to carry it. 
    • Understand that I am not suggesting that we have only one option or that Bryce young is the future---It seems people on discussions boards are all black or all white--most of this is gray, but they showed his (albeit a small sample) stats before and after the benching on TV--and there was improvement---and the defense was not on the field--at the time--so you make some statements that are nice talking points, but not based on fact.  I realize you felt the need to pound your chest, but if we are going to discuss players, be truthful and not emotional, especially when you make statements to support your assumption.  There is no doubt that Bryce has been releasing the ball sooner, throwing it downfield more, and going through his progressions with more confidence.  While I realize a defense gives the QB more opportunities and better field position, all QBs have defenses.  My attempt is not to praise or belittle, but to look for truths that will help us/me see the direction this club will go.  If the experts thought he was not improving or that he was done, they would not play him the rest of the season as you suggest.  There are 52 other players on this roster, and if you lose them and hurt their stats by proving a pointless point about your QB, you demonstrate that you do not know how a team operates.  Could Bryce improve?  It is possible--regardless of how certain you are now.  Can he improve enough?  I doubt it, but I have seen stranger things happen.  Yes, your opinion is widely accepted, but there is no need to makes unsubstantiated statements or embellish his stats.  In the past 2 games, he is showing statistical improvement--they showed the graph on TV.  The after was not great, and the before was terrible.
