Bryce Young post benching if it were a full season worth of stats.

Big time credit, but I still don’t think he’s the guy. Looking forward to see what happens next year if he can take the next step. 

We shall see, I think he is on the right trajectory but at the very least it means we don’t have to waste another draft pick or free agent signing, can focus on building out the rest of the roster 

[frankw]

Why combine passing and rushing yards and touchdowns like he's Cam Newton? Well I can already tell it's gonna be a long offseason ahead

As far as where he is now visually I think we can all agree he looks like a different QB. But that also requires acknowledging he was literally a bottom 5 passer amongst all active QB's previously.

As far as this and hypothetical numbers we could engage in exercises like this all day long and make things fit whichever narrative we seek.

Let's take a look at where Teddy would rank if he had his 2020 numbers this season.

Teddy Bridgewater would be:

10th in passing yards this season

9th in passing yards per game

8th in yards per attempt

8th in completion percentage

The simple fact of the matter is Bryce Young is a first overall pick. No matter what anyone here says or anyone in the media says he and we know the expectations that will be set forth for next season. Low end Teddy Bridgewater and Kyle Allen numbers aren't going to cut it regardless of any discussion of supporting cast. The big jump has to happen next season.

Just shows QB development is not a linear path especially when you’re on badly run organizations. Credit to Morgan and Canales for benching him. 

Reich wanted to ask well and got overrode

I don’t really care about the stats, what I will say is, I think we all agree he passes the eye test a lot more than last year. Whatever happened while he was benched seems to have saved his career. He’s proven he can at least be a moderately effective NFL QB and he will likely have a long NFL career as a fringe starter, and definitely a backup. I still think his physical limitations mean there is not much room for improvement with him. The only way for him to play better is to put an elite supporting cast around him. 

He doesn't need elite just give him NFL quality playmakers around him and he'll thrive.

One of the two is going to happen regardless.  No way they roll into 2025 with only young and Plummer on the roster.   My gut says drew lock is making his way here

Can we all agree he has bottom 5 weapons also? So comparing Bridgewater who had CMC, Moore and Samuel to Bryce with his weapons isn't really a fair comparison

Top 5 oline.  Top 8ish rb.   1rst rd wr.   Theilen.  Sure there should be upgrades but let's pull back on the excuses a bit.

McCaffrey played in 3 games that season.

Of the current receiving group Legette has been really frustrating to say the least but the rest of the group has plenty of potential going forward. But Bryce has one of the best OL's in the league that is also the most expensive too. We have a slew of needs on defense. There will likely be another offensive addition or two down the line but it's going to be up to Bryce to make do with what he's got next season while we rebuild the defensive roster.

Teddy had Mike Davis in reality.  Not CMC

When you accurately project Bryce as a cherry picked QB only counting Denver forward….its still bottom half of the league.

It took Bryce 10 extra games to surpass Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage from 2019. In a down year for passing offense.

Add some better weapons and focus on defense then look out NFC South 

I love you man. My exact thoughts as well.

These stats are misleading.  He is still throwing about 200 yards a game and 1.5 tds a game these are not even top half of the league numbers.
