If he is benched I would expect a repeat of last year. As for what those people will do well they set it up again this year thr same way so it shows intent of repeating. If I see Young sat then I fear we are going down that road. Nothing the people in charge has done this year leads me to think anything has really changed...yet

I do not think they will pick up his option as it stands right now. If he's benched again he will have to compete for a backup role if he's not traded before he reaches the end of his rookie contract.

Your right. This wasn't meant to be a dig at Shenault. LOL

I mean, Bryce Young is literally in an offense that is constructed to be about the deep ball. He just is bad at it and it goes against he how naturally plays/skill set. It's also why his completion % is garbage every year and why he leads the NFL in bad throw % since arriving. He doesn't fit the O scheme and what it asks. The offensive scheme requires it. It would be like putting rookie Cam in some small ball O and saying the stats back he likes doing that. It would have gone against everything he was at that time. It was his worst ball. But Bryce Young doesn't like it nor is he good at it. No one that watches Bryce Young play football would actually say he wants to go downfield with the ball and that his thing.....that some deep stat narrative that gets pushed. It's why he went 0-4 on basically easy deep shots Sunday. Big time throws can be a 5 yards slant. It's bologna. And PFF would award Bryce as the best deep passer going 1/4 over some dude chucking it for multiple scores.

Legette hasn’t shown at this level yet he can break tackles like Shenault

Its hilarious how 80-90% of the board was all in on letting Bryce sink or swim. But after one week of watching it, it's like holy poo save us from this.

ML is ALWAYS good. 17 hits. But the spread can be tricky (see KC last year).

I'm going with Cardinals -9.5 this week, so that's guaranteed to lose. Money line should be good.

Sucks to be in tank mode, but he’s gotta let BY be Clausen for us

The team didn't fire him. He fired himself. Kind of like -- never mind.

If they sit him then he will get to meh again. It's motivation, time for thr team to gel with more competent play at QB and he is good in practice. That's how you end up with the dummies in charge picking up his 5th year option and us doing the exact same BS for 3 years in a row.

Going 0-17 with or without Young is an entire pie, not a bite. Never turn down any return if it's the best return.

If you bench him, you’re trotting in Dalton who was absolutely terrible after his first chunk yardage performance last season. He has also had a lot of random injuries and is getting up there in age. So you really just have to keep playing Bryce unless you’re willing to trade midseason. But if you make a trade for some mid backup talent, like let’s say Brandon Allen, it’s a sign you’re looking at the exits and you have to commit to being done with Bryce. So I say you ride him out. Scenarios: 1-He has a unprecedented turnaround 2-He does pretty bad but never so awful that we can’t finish the year. Spirits stay aight until late in season. We trade him in the offseason for a late rounder. Draft or Sign our new QB (or both) 3-He does so bad, Dave loses the locker room and we need to make a drastic move. We bench, try Dalton, trade/sign a backup plan, he eventually gets cut if not traded

Yep so instead they double down on their stupidity and we all suffer.

Realistically, though... what return. Honestly, I'd be willing to give up the 6th round pick we could hope to get for Bryce at this point just to see Tepper take the big bite of humble pie that releasing Bryce would be. For the long-term health of the franchise, you must admit that visible display of Tepper admitting that he fugged up and should stay out of football decisions would be monumental.

A source familiar with the team’s decision to move on from an employee confirmed that Charlie Rock, the team’s football communications coordinator, is no longer with the organization. https://x.com/dnewtonespn/status/1966148134440153196?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

I would not matter either way.

It's not personal satisfaction because I don't like him. It's sending a message to every player, coach, etc. that if you perform like absolute poo consistently you will lose your job, period, end of story no excuses and no draft pick pedigree, etc. will save it. The fact that we went into this season with Bryce being plan A, B and C at the most important position on the team says it all about the culture of this team currently. Need a HARD reset, ASAP. But Morgan and Canales won't be the ones to do that.

Yup. If no one else is brought in to fill time, and they wouldn't be good anyways, then just don't sit him.

If it weren't for the egos of the people who would have to make this decision, this would absolutely be the move. But admitting you traded multiple firsts, and passed up on Stroud for a #1 overall pick that couldn't even play his way through 3 NFL seasons? That would take a level of humility that our brain trust are just not capable of.

Thats cutting your nose off to spite your face.

That would be pretty stupid to willingly forego any potential return simply to have the personal satisfaction of firing a player you don't like.

Thats what some of us has been saying. Just ride or die with Young as long as they can and deal with the consequences after the season. There is no saving the season if Young can't. If he cannot then it's a high draft pick in our future.

Honestly, I would send a message to the team and organization and set the tone for the culture going forward by straight up releasing him. Wouldn't even bother trying to find a trade partner.

You can find that in the draft. Being able to throw a football 40 yards doesn't make someone a good qb. If that's all you want Young can do that. Just because he hasn't doesn't mean he can't. I've seen him do it in college and even his pro day. For some reason he doesn't and im not sure it's all him. But even doing so doesn't make him a good nfl qb.
