Towerbridge Posted Monday at 11:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:33 PM I can understand why Young was good in college. When I watch Bo Nix its completely laughable. He was he any good in college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was he any good in college? There are many good college QBs that can't make it in the NFL. Many are not doing reads or are doing pre-snap reads on a spread offense. That does not prepare a QB for the NFL offenses. It may work in the right system while they have time to learn. Is Young gun shy at this point? Perhaps. Bama ran a pro-style offense but I would guess with very limited reads. Perhaps he can't overcome not being the best athlete on the field when things break down.

He would scramble for like 10 full seconds until something finally opened up in the passing game. One of the best ever in college ball at not getting taken down when being pursued. 6 hours ago, DirtyDez said: In college Nix’ bad was really bad. Umm, Nix didn't really have a bad college game after the 22 opener against Georgia. He was bad before that, but it was that season that actually made him an NFL prospect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Williams can thrown on time, he looks good. So that is 1st or 2nd read then he needs to move. He also must understand that he is not the best athlete on the field. The Bears might to better with weighted traffic barrels at the oline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking about Bo, but ya probably Young too. Caleb has just under 4 yards per attempt. He doesn't look good on time or not and is constantly sailing balls with poor accuracy or making horrific decisions (see last play of last game). I do think he'll get better but I was more pointing out the above posters random slam of Bo even though the first overall pick is even worse so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted Tuesday at 02:26 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:26 PM I wonder if they’ll trade him. I’ll take him on the Rams. With Stafford getting older I’m sure McVay can work his magic’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then his "training" breaks down. If the oline does not kill him, I think he could develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the oline does not kill him, I think he could develop. He's gonna need to learn to slide and his picket awareness really needs work. He took a lot of big hits as a runner, hence needing to slide more. He also had some pretty big hits behind the line, and while it's definitely as much or more on the OL, when a guy is running free towards you and it's not on your blind side, gotta know to get the ball out. What I've noticed is when he can "see" the blocking breaking down during a play, he's good at moving around and evading the sack. But he's not there yet when something is going wrong from the start, hence blitzes and free rushers having a field day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams was flushed out of the pocket on like every snap by the Titans DL, and the Texans sacked him 7 times. He didn't look good, but he also looked like a guy who was struggling to keep it together, more than a WTF are you doing type player. Nix, maybe. Haven't gotten to watch him.

DigInBoys Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM Does the fact that Darnold and Baker are flourishing away from Carolina give any credibility to Young just being in a bad situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted yesterday at 11:51 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:51 AM I like Bryce. But hearing shadys take on him for his skin color was crazy work.. There’s been plenty of bust kicked to the curb. Ponder Leaf Tim Couch Matt Leinart Johnny Manziel Josh Rosen Brady Quinn Zach Wilson Brandon Weeden Patrick Ramsey Jp Losman sure some were back up. But they got no burn time. Just there as an incase of an emergency. Most of them were outey 3000.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
