How did nobody catch this before drafting him?

This was a Reddit thread today that I stumbled upon. 
 

Did anyone catch this before the season started?? Red flag central. After the rookie season you had, saying you just took the summer off and watched YouTube and Netflix to just “chill” is the opposite of what I want in my teams QB. The faintest glimmer of empathy I had vanished when I read this. The real reason for his regression? He lays it all out there for you to read. He’s a unserious football player.

It actually got talked about a decent amount here.

I mean, it just doesn't matter. He doesn't have the physical talent. No amount of work he can put in is changing it.

Yep. Most QBs are working with wrs during the off-season.  Most QBs invest in themselves during the off-season. Not our guy. Get that PS5 fired up.

That’s very true. I was just dumbfounded when I read that. I guess that’s been the Bryce/Tepper effect, I’ve just been checked out for a while now.

Such a bad look

The Bryce apologists said it was out of context and he was just talking about a brief period of the offseason.

No doubt.  Among his litany of other flaws,  the dude doesn't even love football.

I think the work ethic required to play qb in the nfl at a high level is overlooked

Talent aside, as a competitor, looking at how last year went, if that didn’t light a fire in him then nothing will

I caught it with my research/assessment. I also caught hate for it too when I made it known.

His parents both spoke about it and Young was clear on how he looked at his football journey in life.

I can dig it back up if I have to, but at least people are waking up now. I thought Tepper wouldn't do this until next season because of Nicole hanging on to her QB pick like they've hung on to Chuba. Maybe Tepper convinced her to move on quickly like he does from his employees in other businesses.

Yeah, this is a pretty irrelevant thing, IMO. I really could care less what he was working on. It does show he doesn't seem to have much passion for the sport. At some level, I think that is a core issue. Not that it would make him more talented but if you don't live, eat and breathe football, it's going to be a tough to excel in this league. Especially without elite talent.

Say what you want about Cam, but I never questioned if he cared or wanted to win. All of the top tier players in the NFL have a burning desire to be the best. I've never seen Bryce show ANY passion for the game or to win.

 

He's a bust.

This kind of talk makes me look at the "we want football players, guys who love it" type of talk from Damn and Canales in a little different light. Kind of like the 'big man's game' stuff.

Inherited player, though.

I guess I was finding those messages to be generic, maybe they were aimed at sending a message.
