I feel you but we had a glimmer at the end of ‘22. Then we took Bryce.

Although it seems Canales isn’t doing too good in general and may not have a chance to keep the job regardless….. Getting Young out of the way is the only chance he has at keeping his job and maybe getting a decent QB to work with.

It is why he didn’t get the job. Offensive coach, top QB pick, Tepper had his heart set on it and nothing was going to interfere. Especially not a guy he couldn’t push around. Every player in the locker room wanted Wilks back.

Bullshit. He did a great job.

I expect Young to play better and the team to play better. Week one is something I refuse to give much weight to, going back to when we had 4 preseason games. All kinds of unpredictable outcomes happen week one. Seen it too many times to discount that. Since the 17 game schedule, I don’t pay much mind to results and how the units look until week 3. The units just need time to get the teamwork and timing together under real conditions. Not a series at 90% in preseason. That won’t do it. And it is hard to get around it. But Frank is right when he points to the difference in how the offense looks with an NFL level arm behind center. Seattle in 2023, Vegas in 2024, were just liberating for the passing game. This Bryce ball is no fun to watch unless he is having a day where everything is clicking. Which I think we saw one time. Out of 29. Meh.

I think when they announced the schedule we were at 1pm Sunday all the way through.

NO!

Throwing your insults around when your opinions are challenged. sophistication

How about fug you.

I have never moved a post. I assume you consider yourself sophisticated. Congratulations.

UDFA too. Good for him.

I don't think it was Morgan that wanted him. Not that he didn't, just that the desire came from the guy that runs the offense. Also, people talk in historic terms, but we have new people making the evaluations and decisions. That we have only one draft to go by.

Mahomes just couldn't stop him.

That is on Bryce. Or should be. For me in my chair and people discussing it afterwards... So the party line now is, oh he is getting better every week. How long is that going to keep happening? When does it level off? Has it leveled off? Etc, is interesting to look at. It will be footwork, and durability, with his newfound courage to stand in and take hits, that I'll be watching.

Saying I know, that makes me no smarter than others saying that they know when nobody knows 100%. Living on the type of margins Bryce operates on, that is just a volatile type of formula for success that I don't feel comfortable relying on. I mean, today should tell us more.

I think they need to draft shot in the dark Qbs annually. Semi annually. Whenever you find them available to you.

I hold the opinion that the people fired over Bryce Young are already gone. And the only way he gets Morgan fired is if we trade him (please) and he turns into enough to make us wish we hadn't let him go somewhere else.

It affects the success/failure equation and we can understand that. Who did we even have the first game that Shaq and Jewel went down? I think we had another like A'Shawn or someone also out. It was impossible to stop an NFL team with what we had. I haven't followed them to know what games people missed and how it affected them but it affects t lose and it affects to get them back. Changes your team.

Things that make you go hmmm. Bryce Young is somehow a rookie in his second season and Brown is now somehow a HC.

We don't need stats when we watch every play and know what happened. For instance a couple three weeks back people listed his downfield numbers after a game or two and we watched him throw a rainbow ball that I think Coker came down with. That was like one of the two throws past maybe 15 yards that he had completed. It looks great on the sheet, you can point to his progress, but it was a wing and a prayer that worked out. The progress is that he at least threw the ball downfield so we had a chance, where he would choke on that previously. It is completely about his footwork, let's just see what happens. .

I was real disappointed in SC's secondary or very impressed with Klubnik and their WRs- however that goes - because Clemson was eating. And not allowing SC to do anything on the ground except Sellers breaking out. Until late. I watched a few 4th quarters this year and Sellers is a badass. His passing will be fine with some more time, I think.

Clemson shutting down the run is winning it for them.

Well, no. There isn't another lol. But the spend would not compare.

Well, I'd like getting any QB tbh. But Sellers is gonna be really good.

And somehow Brown is in line to be their HC. Kind of unbelievable that they have so much from us, now they they get their coach too. Not that I was saying to keep him, I wasn't. He is Lazarus Brown afaic.
