Could get ugly? lol

Its hard to run the ball when the opposing D crowds the line of scrimmage every play. Young needs to make them pay with longer passes when they do that but he cant. Young = bad run game.

At this point he's looks like he's just throwing poo at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Does he not already do that? The go route stuff is to just make space for the constant dink and dunk. That's why it dries up near the 20 where it gets tough. Difficult to defend? Just get up in scores and lean into it. If they can send pressure without going too soft in coverage it will work agaisnt the Panthers. I still think the offense is a QB away from instant improvement.

I don't know how about 5 at this point. I think that window has closed. Getting the easy stuff early and being notoriously unprepared every year is blowing up in their faces. 3 might be the max. Good Bryce shows up when the other team is having a practice game or an off weak after watching our film. It's basically a sucker punch to teams mailing it in. Groundhog day? More like Groundhog year again

It's a weak take like it was a weak game. It was garbage time against backups. That's his shine time. It's should be made fun of because it was pathetic. The WRs were gassed? What about the backup DBs? Those guys must have been really tired since they sit on the bench most of the time. Take that BS and go whine to someone else. man or zone they played off the line and back 10 yards in soft ass coverage. That and practice is all Young is good at. When the other team plays like they want to win he shuts down. Same as last year. Blah blah blah

The guy just isnt getting it done. All this high level jousting and parsing this stat or that doesn't matter. Hes been cheeks. Period. Even his good stretch is not impressive.

I mean...that is a crazy easy schedule from start to finish. You are looking at one elite team and as many as three upper tier teams. Other than that, it's middle of the pack or cellar dwellers. I wouldn't start calling shots on us losing out. We have all been here before.

Well, Hooker was a guy that was drafted in the 3rd round pick sitting behind a well established starter yet Detroit somehow saw enough to let him go after two offseasons. Where does that fit into your ideal situation?

Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent. Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad. He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone. I don't think Clausen could do that.

You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely. Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.

It's easy to conserve energy when you loaf most of a game, don't block, etc.

Until Young & Evero are moved out, I won't make decisions on the rest

Bryce can't see the damned field. That's why he misses reads and misses passes. He gets no pass. He can't move the pocket and make a clean pass with any regularity because he's dancing on his tippy toes more than Misty Copeland.

Tepper loves a good car salesman as HC.

Honestly, I think the lack of run game is what's killing the offense and hurting Bryce. If you look at the last few games of last year when Bryce played well, it's because he had a good run game and he thrived off the play action pass. This years run game has been trash and Bryce is struggling because of it.

I think that’s a pretty good rule of thumb. I would struggle to identify any counters, though I feel there are some lurking out there. People could argue for Flacco, Dilfer, guys who ran the gauntlet and didn’t get exposed. I bet the list of guys that did (get exposed) is pretty large.

So is Bryce "Dink" and TMac "Dunk"?

Edgy comment. It's not for everyone but there are plenty of redeeming qualities that keep former player's and their families around. Depends on what you want in life and what's important to you. I could give a poo about clubs that bump until daybreak.

Such an odd coincidence, right? lol

Ain't no wins coming fam. I will see my AARP card arrive before we ever dig out of this deep a hole.

This is a much easier schedule than last year. Outside of Buffalo and GB, there isn’t a game that we wouldn’t have a fair shot if we played like we did in the last few last year. New England? Not much better than us Miami? Probably more dysfunctional than us Dallas? Meh Jets? Prob only game we will be favored in Rams? Stafford can hardly move 49ers? McCaffrey will probably be injured by then and the defense is ancient Seattle? Probably one of the tougher ones but weird things happen in December Can’t really say anything about division games because they are all over the place. GB and Buffalo are going to blister our ass though

His opinions are hit and miss when it comes to players but he's spot on about CLT. Best decision I've ever made was leaving. No culture, no fight, very boring, too hot, lacks diversity, landlocked, no personality, has a massive inferiority complex, and has next to nothing to offer. It reminds me of another city that fits most of that as well: Indianapolis. At least that had Peyton.

We stink but the next 5 games are winnable. It’ll dictate our season cause the second half looks a lot harder.
