We needed so much roster help I wasn’t a fan of drafting one unless it was very late.

It’s just a bad scenario. Hopefully that doesn’t happen. What if he plays 2-3 games, looks a lot better, but then gets hurt? I’m glad we invested in the OL in attempt to limit this from happening…

I guess the question would be how much of an asset do you spend on another QB. If we have a top 5 pick and Young is still a question mark from being injured do you spend another top pick on another rookie or use that on another valuable asset? The more film we have a Young the better we can answer that question IMO.

At one point Johnson was told the passing offense will go through him. I’m sure they will move him around but he will typically be read 1 which makes sense. Also I believe his drop issue wasn’t an issue last year.

I agree. We should be able to more accurately evaluate our QB whatever that looks like.

You run that offense and no defense has to worry about the deep ball. It has to be a complete offense with elements he is comfortable with. JT and XL are capable of catching deep passes. Throw in some play action deep shots to them to prevent the defense from stacking the box and making it very crowded for a bunch of shifty route runners.

I'm saying we should have enough pieces that fit that to get a good measurement of if he can work. Johnson is the shifty route runner. I get he doesn't play slot but in DC's offense the WRs are kind of interchangeable at different positions. We drafted Brooks who is the RB who can also catch out of the backfield, we also draft a TE who is known to be a great pass catcher. The there elements you wanted in a Bryce offense are here. XL is (hopefully) going to keep the defense honest, plus should be great at slants (which Bryce was solid at in college) and getting YAC. AT will work another year at the slot because he is still sneaky enough to find soft spots in the zone you Young to find him like last year. It's kind of the best of both worlds IMO. Less excuses should be made for Bryce with the 3 elements you mentioned addressed enough for him to operate, and we also have the pieces for a more traditional offense if Young doesn't work out. It shouldn't be a full strip down rebuild if we draft another QB.

I guess to me if he was never able to handle SOME basic NFL formations we was never going to have a long term career as a starter. I think we traded for Johnson who is one of the better route runners and is great at separation, AT finds soft spots and has some chemistry. XL and JT Sanders seem to excel at adjusting to deep passes which Young having issues there it could actually help him. Throw in the two big OGs which shows they are investing in the interior of the OL which is crucial for a short QB, I'd argue they are not completely ignore Bryce here. To me it looks like an offense he should be able to play in and if not they will find someone who can.

I'm not sure I 100% agree aside from he needs a lot of shotgun to get comfortable, but he is going to have to be able to line up under center as well. Whether we use roll outs or deeper drops to adjust this for him is anyone's guess at this point. I kind of like that they are building an offensive roster that will fit 90% of QBs instead of going all in on creating a unique offense for a QB that we aren't 100% sold on at this point. If we did create a special Bryce offense and he doesn't become the QB he was projected, we would be stuck with an unusual set of players on offense for a more traditional QB. The route they are taking makes it easier to move on from Bryce if needed.

Thats a win for Canales given the circumstances.

Awesome! We need as many rookies as possible to contribute to this roster.

No comment on the thread derailment. I’ve been digging marinating them in Italian dressing overnight and the grilling up with whatever sauce/seasoning you want. Top notch!

What kind of chicken are you cooking?

That's above my paygrade.... (I'm too old/dumb to know also)

Check out those veggies @Zod!

He had arthritis in his knee as well which is progressive. Chubb is the one who had the nasty injury in college I believe...

Any updates from OTAs today?

Don’t question Juan. Just let him be.

I don’t think they even play the same role. Mingo should develop into a big slot IMO and XL can be the X big catch radius outside WR. Different body types and different playing styles.

Wait is Bryce bigger or not? We need more pictures!!

He just wore a more fitted shirt and changed his hairstyle lol. I remember when that article came out.

Sanders is also huge. Look at his arms here.

Dak was the best QB in the league statistically speaking. He struggles in the playoffs, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t retained in Dallas. If they can win in the playoffs again they will fire McCarthy and probably throw stupid money at someone like Ben Johnson.

Gonna have to bring the GM in to yell at the locker room. (Joking)
