Bryce passing chart today

[MHS831]

It did seem that the light came on for Bryce--we need to see it for multiple games, but this gave me hope.

Packers go up 30-16 in 4Q & begin to run clock on defense with prevent. Young goes 13/17 for 2 TDs & 177 yards.

Young was 10/18 for 0 TDs & 135 yards for the first 3 quarters.

Young had 13 seconds on the clock for his last play with 0 timeouts. He held in pocket for 3 seconds & threw the ball over the middle for a 22 yard gain that took 3 seconds to complete the catch after the throw. The entire offense had 5 seconds to sprint & set for a spike. It takes at least 3 seconds to run 20 yards for the average lineman. This leaves 2 seconds on the clock for a spike.

It takes 16 seconds to run a play & a spike. This question on a test must be known by every coach & QB. If you don't have at least 3 seconds on the clock from when the ball is spotted, the spike will not happen. Tabor & Young failed on this management. This will seperate champions from teams that stay home for the playoffs.

The correct decision with 13 seconds on the clock was 2 quick sideline throws for 10-15 yard routes & a final Hail Mary if not in FG range.

A QB padding his stats against a prevent down by 2 scores in the 4Q & flunking the final drive test is never impressive. It's not a sign of a championship caliber QB.

The expectation for Young in an NFL game would be Young from the first 3 quarters with his lack of clutch management from the 4th quarter. You have to throw out garbage/prevent stats at the end of game. It's the decisions, clock management & consistent clutch throws that matter at 4Q comeback time for an NFL QB.

Investing another 2 years in a QB like Young losing with his occasional well timed highlight pass against prevent is where this is headed.

 

Absolutely garbage take.

Come on man.  I've been critical of Young too but that was not prevent defense and if any other QB made the same plays you would have given them credit.  How many times did Brady or Mahomes come back from 2-3 scores down and everyone gives them the credit when those defenses must have been playing softer coverage too.  What I saw yesterday was Bryce orchestrating a comeback very effectively.  He doesn't have the best receivers or protection, yet found ways to distribute the ball and made plays 

That’s a troll account. Always has been. Teams don’t play prevent when they are up by one score. Plus anyone with eyes knows that wasn’t prevent. It’s like that guy claiming the Falcons went prevent the prior week up by 2 with over 5 minutes left. Just nonsense.

Imagine if they had let Jensen stay in the game. Everyone would still be trashing Bryce Young on how he has a noodle arm and can't read defenses. Meanwhile he's running from DTs and LBs as soon as he completes his dropback, or best case he can't step into a throw because of a dirty pocket. Or he'll never be able to play in the NFL because of how bad his footwork is - and it's 100% uncorrectable. And no one would realize that Chark could actually get open and make plays if given more than 2 seconds before his QB had to bail on the play.

It was very encouraging to see!

However I'm going to wait and see how he performs in the finale and if the confidence and swagger carries over.

Remember, Green Bay is the team that made Tommy DeVito look like a future starter and allowed Baker Mayfield to post the first perfect passer rating by a visiting QB in Packers history.

Point being, I think this was a much needed get-right game against a poor Packers D that hopefully will bolster Bryce's confidence. But looking at how that D has been performing lately, I'm not ready to say that it's an indication that Bryce has finally turned the corner...yet.

Once is an aberration. Twice is the start of a trend.

The most encouraging thing I saw today was for the first time it looked like Bryce started believing in himself.  With each success that confidence appeared to snowball.  I really hope he can continue to build on it.

I really believe Bryce Young will continue to get better and better. Often we tend to forget this is his first year and expect him to play like a seasoned veteran. With a better cast of players surrounding him, I expect to see Bryce become a top ten N.F.L. QB by his third year.
