Just blind sht posting at this point, should be banned for it

Everyone calling him a franchise QB conveniently cherry picks only the good plays and ignores all the bad ones as well. At least I can say he's made good plays, he's made bad plays, he's still inconsistent and is giving you the same production as Dalton did. Doesn't sound like a franchise QB to me but you do you.

Which part of the eye test did you like best, the part where here stared down the receiver the whole way and sailed a gift of a free INT to the safety resulting in a 10-14 point swing. Or the part where he threw the ball into the dirt 5+ yards behind the receiver on 4th down.

BY has had Thielen for twice as many games as Dalton and kicking Diontae to the curb was a net positive. I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make here. Their supporting casts have been as close to identical as you can possible get, if anything I'd give a slight edge to BY in that regard but it's splitting hairs.

Trading away Diontae Johnson has been the only major change, and that's probably a positive if we're being honest as he spent half the time pouting and giving up on routes. Yeah, BY has only had Thielen for 2 games since returning to the starting lineup. Well Dalton had him for less than 1. It's largely the same group of guys. Just straight up nit-picking at this point.

Dalton, 5 games starting - 19.4 PPG Bryce, 6 starts since coming back from being benched - 20.5 PPG So, he's been marginally better than our backup QB. And that's counting the shameless stat padding garbage-time TD with 3 seconds left, against backups playing prevent D, down 28-7 against the Broncos. Take that out and Bryce is averaging 19.3 PPG. Worse than Dalton with the same supporting cast. Yeah it's nice that he doesn't look like the worst QB in NFL history anymore, but seeing people doing backflips like he's arrived as this next great franchise QB is baffling.

This says more about how bad things have been under Tepper than any kind of ringing endorsement. I think that's where a lot of the fanbase is at now, slightly better than a complete dumpster fire is cause for celebration. Yeah, I like Sanders. Coker looks promising. Draft overall still pretty "meh" and underwhelming on the whole. Only looks good when you compare it to the complete disaster that Fitterer was.

Holes all up and down the roster and you want to use 3 picks to trade up in the 2nd to draft a RB. It's honestly a terrible pick even without him being injured, once you add in that he's coming off a major injury it's monumentally stupid. The team we were jumping ahead to draft him was the Cowboys and Jerry Jones senile "let me trade a 4th for Mingo" dumbass if that tells you anything.

Considering they promoted from within it's really not all that surprising. I believe they made some changes to the pro-scouting department, but college scouting remains unchanged from the Fitterer days AFAIK.

People really want to compare Herbert to BY. Even if you only look at the last 5 games where BY has played noticeably better you still get 8.1 AYA, 101 rating vs 6.3 AYA, 83 rating Yeah, it's nice that BY is no longer statistically the worst QB in modern NFL history, but can we not go full retard here.

Lions took several years of drafting really well to get where they are. Our GMs first draft is not looking so hot. First three picks got us a receiver that can't catch, a RB permanently on IR and a LBer that's bad at everything. Would be a lot easier to get excited for the future if we landed some young cornerstone players we could build around, but just not seeing it. Coker maybe? I don't know.

This

Uhhh yeah having a top OLine and a top RB means you don't have the worst supporting cast in the league. Are you okay? Jesus

Literally the #1 rated pass blocking OLine when Dalton has started #1 .... literally #1

No it's not arguable that this is the worst in the league. It's not even close. Just arguing semantics at this point because you know you're wrong.
