Those uniforms are classic.

Is everyone ok with winning the division and keeping BY as our starter next year? Or do we want to just miss winning the division and have someone else at QB1 next year? It can't be both, and I just don't like the idea of BY long term. 

Yes I am ok with winning the division.

Last time he stuck with the run, very stubbornly, and people were pissed off. We thought, or some of us thought, he did not want it in Bryce’s hands until it absolutely had to be. Like after we went down 10 late.  
 

The players need to execute because I don’t think he will do that again if it is just running into a wall. 
 

Yeah I am saying it will be on the players more than whatever the strategy is. 

The focus of criticism the first game was not pushing it downfield to prevent NO from stacking the box.

Not really sure he should...

After the prior game, I'd probably expect a more balanced WCO type approach.

Last game was 23 rushes and 25 passes. Thats balanced. The criticism was not going downfield.

Most think he’s hurt. There’s been a drop off in performance since the San Fran game I want to say 

He's on the injury report so  it's well known situation 

A list of 43 is not particularly exclusive.

Remember when Mark Sanchez was a young promising QB on a good Jets team under Parcells?  The butt fumble became his entire legacy.

I believe that was Rex Ryan era. Long after Parcells 

Rico and Chubba and the OL

Canales not trying to force BY 

This is interesting 

Give them Bryce, Legette and Dalton back.

Not at all. What am I missing 

We have a certain defensive lineman who could wreck a backup even if it's not about sacks.

His attitude issues are well documented. I was a big fan of the situation when he and dad went to Colorado. It was the way the treated people that turned me off from them. 

Maybe he's been humbled. Maybe he will be good. He's not coming here so I dont know why it's such an ongoing topic.

When Canales says things like this it's typically not very close

Hurts is the best of the QBs drafted in the 2020s too. Hurts and Herbert show us the sad state of QBs in the NFL this decade.

Burrow

Hunt hasn't yet been designated to have practice window open.  I dont think he plays any more thos season.

"He's getting closer," Canales stated. "We're not gonna open up his window this week. But he's getting closer, he's getting stronger and would love to see him back at some point over this next stretch."

Is there a real reason they cant have all teams on bye one of three weeks weeks 9-11?

Numbers

Herbert is overrated. He's not bad but not going anywhere with him.

Everything they do makes it less compelling.

10 years ago you didn't have rushing QB's like you have today. Jackson, Allen, Hurts, Nix, Williams, etc. Maybe part of the drop off is from QB's running it more often instead of attempting passes. 

Running QB's have changed the way the game is played and QB's are measured statistically.

I thought about that. Certainly could be a factor. Even if it's not a standout runner all the more recent qbs seem to run a little more than the classic pocket passers of 10 + years back

You mean put my money where my mouth is

Kiss of Death. Like a Zod preseason fullback endorsement 

If we lose it's almost surely on Canales having a BY only gameplay that doesn't adjust.

Wouldn’t be the first time a HC trotted out an obviously injured QB because his job is on the line and the QB says he is okay.

The entitlement byoung has had his entire nfl career is insane.  The panthers literally brought in no qb competition to protect his ego.  If Cam Newton had had byoungs stats his first 3 years no one would be saying we would be picking up his 5th year option, panthers would have him riding the bench .  I dont get it at all.  Still hope byoung proves me wrong and lights it up and the team goes deep into the playoffs but looking at the wins I feel all but maybe 2 were in spite of young not b/c of him

Entitlement doesn't mean what you think it does. 

What others do doesn't make Young entitled. It might make the team foolish but it doesn't reflect on Bryce at all.

You need to put money on them.
