If he could actually play TE then it would be an amazing pick. Unfortunately he plays more like a WR and is weak at blocking and gaining tough yardage, and every other role a TE is expected to fill except catching balls.
Since he’s basically a WR we should really be comparing him to other receivers drafted at that level. Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Randy Moss, Justin Jefferson, etc. Would you take Kyle Pitts over any of those receivers?
Lol why do so many Falcons fans want 1st round busts like Justin Fields, Trey Lance and Zach Wilson?
Yes, they were picked high and are selling for cheap…but there’s a reason they’re going for 75% off.
Pitts was only good his rookie year when defenses didn’t have any NFL tape on him and were defending him like a TE instead of a 2nd-tier receiver.
If 55 yards passing, 3.7 avg yards/throw is the floor for Heinicke I don’t want to know what Ridder’s floor is.
Yep it’s the franchise, not he QB. Falcons are just a poverty franchise with a loser mindset.
Vikings lose Kirk Cousins and what happens? They trade for a QB who looked like crap for an entire season with Arizona, and he instantly becomes the next QB sensation. That’s the magic of a good franchise.
If every QB who plays for the Falcons looks like ass, it’s the franchise structure, not the QB.
Yeah keep blaming everyone that’ll fix the problem. First it was Ridder, then it was Heinicke ("Offense will POP OFF with Heinicke lol?), then it’s Smith’s fault, then Mckay lmao. Just blame and fire everyone and things will get better.
Falcons show why they are the prototype poverty franchise.
Why do people keep making excuses for Bryce? His stats are generationally bad. Like you literally only get QB’s this bad once a decade.
It’s true that his team is also mediocre, but a QB doesn’t get stats this bad without being bad himself.
There are multiple running backs this season with almost the same rush/avg as Bryce’s air yards/avg.
