lol I hate being negative about the team I’m always such a glass half full guy and optimistic. But Tepper has done that to me man. It’s not our first time under Tepper having a winning record around this time of year. Always turned out to be a fugazi, so I’m tempering expectations. Obviously I’m way happier being 4-3 than having our seasons over by now like the last several years. But Bryce is truly terrible and I don’t see any way around our weak QB position this year as the schedule gets much tougher. I’m becoming more and more optimistic though about the progression of the D and what Canales can do with a legit QB behind this line and this running game and progression of young WRs. But that’ll take at least next offseason so this year I’m tempering expectations significantly.

yep. But who looked at the neglect of - and outright thievery from - the defense, basically since we took Jaycee Horn high, and ever thought it was a one year fix? Not you and not me, pretty sure. I mean they put the tab for Bryce on the defense, on top of some neglect that had already happened. So it was really extreme attrition. I admit to much resentment and yes I took it out on Bryce because he was supposed to be helping us. We weren’t supposed to have to help him like that. I could have been more sympathetic lol.

But it might happen that way. Last year showed how badly people wanted him to succeed because it was pretty universally opined that he did enough and showed he deserved it. people could use those game winning drive stats again, and the big time throws and a couple of wins and he will be ‘in’. Definitely a lot of support out there for him. Maybe he does something to prove to me* he should get it. That is about my best hope. * I should have said the skeptics, instead of me.

It seems like they are using the opportunity to get a different perspective. They took him out of the game because he was feared to be injured. I don’t think in that moment they had ulterior motives. But it gave them time to consider one. They were probably like we are and when they thought Andy was up, decided they were excited about it. I could take it further and say maybe they looked at the film and thought hey with a week of reps, what would this look like? Surely they wouldn’t, right? (I am not claiming they did that last part just joking around).

I guess we're debating the level of Tepper's involvement... again. I can only gauge based on evidence. Since Morgan has been GM it seems to me like football guys have been making football decisions.

I wonder when he returns if any reporters are going to ask him if he learned anything

I agree with the general premise of this thread. We can't just give Bryce the starting QB job next season.

I wonder if hes not really injured but just been benched.

Well the responsibility of making the big picture decision on Bryce will clash with the duty to serve the record for the players who are concerned with winning the games and all that ‘best chance to win’ thing. I think they put Bryce back in.

Different reason tho. DC's offense runs best with a gunslinger. It's to judge his offense and capabilities and to allow our players to work under a QB that can run that offense. It can tell us if it's the pieces surrounding Bryce, Bryce, DC, a combo, none of the above. It could answer questions we need answers to

His noodle arm is averaging 7.5 yards per attempt to Bryce’s 5.8

Not saying he will but if Andy throws 3TDs and 400 yards, will it still be a 1 week injury?

Good one. Now who gets Rico and who gets Chuba?

I mean, Vegas is the opposite of stupid

Rotate them in every other series???

Made me laugh because it’s so Panthers

I suppose in a sense it seems fair. Let’s compare and contrast one or two little things. You have one guy going through his first OC change. And the other guy is going through his first year with the same OC. No big deal. PS I should repeat that neither player has one little bit to do with how the other is playing.

Its literally just the passing stats from the last seasons worth of games. I would say thats fairly far from cherry picked.

You’re absolutely correct, great dude, wish him the best just don’t want him with this team next year. He can ride the bench elsewhere.

If Dalton plays well in a win against Buffalo I keep him in there. Bryce has done nothing at all to suggest it’s his job to keep once he returns. But I suspect Dalton will suck too and we lose

One of those 24 hour bugs

One thing he will never do is drop a few bombs a game. WTF?

Damn we have been way ahead of the times here. Who knew.

Coach called it an ankle, and every talking head said high ankle sprain. Just going off what was reported. Don’t care either way.
