Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

[45catfan]

Here is where I'm at.  Young had his best day as a pro.  He kept us in the game and didn't lose it for us. GREAT! However, that stat line is a mediocre game for the average NFL QB and this is his best game to date.

I'm happy for him to keep playing better, especially if it keeps out of the QB conversation on day 1 in April.  I simply think his ceiling is career backup or low end starter.

The Venn diagram of Best Quarterback and Highest Drafted Quarterback doesn't intersect as much as people think.

Listen sir, I don't know this Venn Diagram fella but everyone here can see we have a top tier QB drafted here.

Maybe in a vacuum, but probably more appropriate to compare his game to other QBs that have played KC this season. 

And I wouldn't call that a mediocre game. Have you watched the other young QBs play lately? Everybody isn't lighting it up, even against weaker defenses. And carolina had no run game to lean on today.

Only recently learned of him, he's hilarious

He and Tim Hawkins are among my favorites.

I will have to look for more of his content.

I can agree with that, in that this is his ceiling. He's been continuously improving which has been impressive. Looking forward to a few more games and see what he does.

Yeah, it's not like he was playing against one of the best teams in the league or anything.

People look at his stats and all they see is him doing the same.

But this week he did it against the chiefs .

People are overlooking that essential bit.

So used to him looking mediocre at best against bad teams, even though he's been getting a good bit more confident each week.

Truthfully, the chiefs should have slaughtered him and he should have had the WORST game of his career.

That didn't happen. Why? Because maybe he's getting even better than we thought?

It makes me interested to see what he does going forward. Nothing more, nothing less. He had a good game against a good team. Right now that's a massive anomaly in his career. So let's see what happens going forward.

This is the right approach. But will add there is reason to be optimistic based on the last 4 games.
