A little but in reality a lot of those people are silent or gone. Many had some large issues with it or have already admitted wrongness. Then came the obligatory 'well he is here so I have to hope or pretend' that came after the pick. The poo was worth it. He was and is a mistake. Flat out, no asterisks needed.

That's not why they signed Dalton tho. They signed him because he is cheap, because he is washed, and because they didn't want a viable option B other than Dalton level. That's also part of why it wasn't fine. Their first 2 years together he was mentor and he was a strategic block this year. You know who that guy your talking g about was this year? Plumber lol

Dalton was washed last year. 2 years in a row he had 1 ok game and then showed how bad it was and that was with all the resting and still getting easily hurt. There is nothing fine about using roster spots for guys who are so obviously washed, especially when their vontravt is up and it can be naturally ended. If it was fine then they woukd have another playable QB on the roster. Maybe a guy who could do hail marries and QB sneaks for the other QB mistake. They went cheap and dumb so now they have a PS scrub that's option B and no help whatsoever.

He looks good but after his tape was out there he also came back to earth a bit too. I wouldn't put him near where CMC was for us tho. That's a whole other teir....so far. I think we need to see him with competent QB play first. Dalton couldn't stay healthy for a drive so we really haven't seen who he really is yet on the field. It's really hard for me to evaluate him with the current playbook from a full view.

Yup. It's crazy they brought back Dalton. You have a QB in year 3 so instead of brining in a developmental backup they bring back the emotional support QB who can't even make it through a game healthy or even decent play. Totally normal stuff

Putting the game in his hands again vs doing the run first approach still makes me think they are both have not given up the dream. Just like brining back Dalton and avoiding anything that could come close to competition did. If they had given up on that dream I wouldn't be so agaisnt them both but they did what they did and as far as I can tell thst train is still on the tracks to nowhere.

It is crazy but they obviously still want it. It's why they were hired and it's what this entire build is about. The fact they had the Falcons game and then went out and put it in his hands once again vs running the damn ball and trying to squeeze another win out proves it again. I don't like it but that's what this is no matter how hard fans twist details into some kind of sanity. I have been against this from before the pick and would love to end it this year just like the two years before. Im just not going to lie to myself about it. There is zero real signs that Tepper is off of the Bryce train either...even if there should be by now. I hope we are right and the remander of the schedule doesn't play with their food like GB did. Otherwise next year is going to look a lot like this year but the odds they pick up thst 5th are bad that they make the right or good choice. They obviously want it and I just don't see 2 yes men walking Tepper off of his mistake without a deflated end to this season. Any bright spot for them to get twisted will result in more of the same IMO. I will belive it when they say they aren't picking him up otherwise Im just expecting it unfortunately

Has a high ceiling? Lol

Put a pin in this. I just can't until I know the team is ready to move on. Did you see their approach to QB this year? More of that would be a 6th ir 7th pick while saying something about Purdy just so they can roll Young out another year. Looks nice but it's an overwhelming amount of hope given what is still in front of us all.

Yeah I can agree with the starting gig take. But it would be fun if someone proved us wrong on that but it's too much IMO too. If we were smart they would have IRed him after thr Atlanta game. I still think that crew is all in which makes them dumber than what we are expecting from other teams next year...

It still is funny and laughter is important when things are tough...which it has been since Tepper became hands on.

It's literally the reason he got the job or he wouldn't be Tepper's GM. Morgan is hit and miss. Look at XL and Tet. Look at his free agent oline guys from 2023 and then 2024 (he was the pro personnel guy in 23). The fact is he was happy when Young was drafted and then took the job to prop up Young while knowing all the behind the curtain details. He also has made sure there is no one that can challenge Young on the roster either. Sorry but Dan is all in on the Young disaster. Unfortunately that's a huge negative for me in evaluating Dan.

Maybe. With injuries and poor decisions I wouldn't be surprised if he played again. He has a lot of starting experience. Like in SF behind Purdy who would go down again. Or in Miami and that crew who bet big on Tua and still seem committed to that train wreck the owner wanted.

Zack Wilson is on a team right? A washed Willson got a gig with NY this year? Hell Dalton was resigned here on a 2 year deal after looking completely washed 2 years in a row on this very team. If this crew is dumb enough to still be on the Young train I truely belive someone else would sign him while making the same old excuses. Bad organization, bad coaching, I can being out the amazing talent that no one else could...blah blah blah. I hope they do. It will be a lot more fun to laugh at it when it's not longer us.

The larger punishment would be making him play the Rams and from the video he deserves it too

Someone will take a swing on him and he will make a roster because he is at his best in practice. I would go with him going to a Miami like destination where he bombs a few times without the training wheels he has received in Carolina. We all know how he looks when he is leaned on.

I think them signing Dalton to a 2 year deal at the beginning of the season is enough proof for me. I'm afraid we will find out and have another year of crap football served. This time with a harder schedule to boot. Until they dump Young and move on from him being the center of the team or we are firmly screwed IMO.

And it wouldn't take much for it to flip right back. They want it so it will just take the right excuses to make it a reality for them. It's crazy but that's the reality of the situation regardless of feels

I think Morgan is still on and has been on the Young train the entire time. He would be right behind Tepper to push that button

I'm with you. He shouldn't even be on the team next year regardless. I still think they would 100% do it today if they had to make the choice. You summed it up perfectly and that's how I see this crew already after coming into the year with a resigned Dalton

Everything else will just be failure to me. Make it end

I just want to see everyone jump on that train by the end of the year. Replace and not competition. We all have seen more than enough and I don't even want to ever see him again. Well I am watching the next game just so I can witness football murder.

Nothing has changed about my opion on him from before we traded up except he is way more durable than I originally thought. Terrible talent who's ceiling is being someone else's coach or squeaking by as a bad option at backup.
