The fact that anyone in our fan base had this thought is exhibit A of just how bad our QB situation is.

Mac Jones is an ideal fit for our situation. He could come in and flourish right away. And I f***ing HATE Mac Jones.

I think everyone wanted it to work for him. He's cerebral. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and a good kid. He's just not cut out for NFL football, and no amount of good will or rose tinted glasses can hide that anymore. The end of the "next Gen stats" era of evaluating QBs. We just happened to be holding the bag when that revelation came to light. Sorry, but sometimes you just need to use your fuggin' eyes. And if you're mortgaging your future, it should be on a guy who looks like a football player.

Speaking of "fuggin' me." Not helping that after I uploaded this picture the app tells me to "insert."

I don't know the brand but I got one shaped like a butt plug that works great! And it can pick up a lot of channels too.

It's on local ABC. If you don't have one. Get an antenna. But not tonight. This game is horseshit

Milton is who I had in mind. I'd much rather take a shot on someone like that for a Rodney Peete year (better than what we got, but not the guy for the future) than reach on another mediocre QB in a mediocre QB class. I'd like to see us draft MLB in the 1st this year. And maybe our QB of the future is there in 2027.

Maybe, but I think you can chalk that up to sunk cost fallacy. Jawalrus was #1 overall, so it was a little easier to justify moving on from him than #1 overall + #1 overall + 2nd round pick + DJ Moore. If Bryce had only cost us the #1 overall pick in 2023, I firmly believe his benching in 2024 would have been the end of the line.

Nope. Chargers traded up for Leaf. Picks package was almost identical to our trade-up for Bryce. But we threw in our #1 WR.

Very similar in terms of production and what they gave up (2 firsts and a second), but losing DJ Moore (which led to us reaching on XL) is the candle on that poo cake.

No. This is literally a playoff caliber team with a mediocre QB. You don't get a team with Defense, Special Teams, and a running game like this very often. We're going to squander a very good team because we insist on starting a munchkin at QB.

Ooh. Keep talking dirty to me!

I can't believe that the other QB options on our roster are actually worse. I'll say again. We had Baker. And Darnold. At the same time. And kept neither.

Bench XL this season. Release Bryce this off-season.

Is practicing on Monday gonna make Bryce taller?

We are so screwed at QB. Trade deadline is over. There's no one decent in FA. And I have no confidence that we would be willing to spend a high draft pick on a QB (which BTW, I'm not advocating for). I can't believe we had Darnold AND Baker on this team and didn't keep EITHER!

No. It's the second quarter. We have to be down so we can have a game winning drive. This is the way.

Why bother? They won't let him on any of the rides.

Still got our coke tho.

I really like what I see from LaNorris Sellers. Dual-Threat QBs seem to be a commonality among the best teams in the league. He's got a big body, and I'm not saying I got shades of Cam watching his highlights, but I'm not NOT saying that. And honestly, I don't think you need to throw out the baby with the bathwater once we ditch Bryce. We've got a pretty solid and cohesive O-Line that is build to protect a mobile, scrambling quarterback. Might as well pick a QB who plays that way, rather than try to retrain them to protect a statue in the pocket.

There's no way he's sold. I see a combination of coach speak and coddling when it comes to Bryce. Which is what Canales needs to do in order for Bryce to be successful enough for Canales to keep his job. But Canales has to be pining for a QB who doesn't need a perfect situation in order to overcome his limitations.

This. If we don't get real fuggin' honest with ourselves real fuggin' soon, we're gonna end up like Miami with Tua, paying franchise-crippling money and inexorably stuck with a guy who has "shown flashes" but has serious limitations.
