Yeah, we're still in all likelihood gonna suck hard. I just want to see something different. Watching an NFL QB who completely lacks the ability to throw the football effectively beyond the LOS is just absolutely deflating.

I don't think Canales thought there was any chance Tepper was going to give his blessing to bench Bryce this early when he gave that answer yesterday. Trust and believe benching Bryce after these two games isn't something you'd have to force on a coach.

It could be that Canales is a new HC and doesn't have his "coach speak" game up to par yet, but I was surprised how matter of fact and honestly final the decision sounded. I expected something along the lines of "We want to give Bryce a chance to take a step back and be able to sit and learn without the pressure of playing right now. Andy Dalton gives us the best chance to win right now and we think it'll benefit Bryce to watch how an established vet operates in a starting role." But the way Canales put it out there it honestly sounds like we've flat out turned the page.

They'll have an opportunity to catch balls beyond the LOS. That's pretty much all I'm asking for at this point.

To be fair, two of those three had a resurgence by getting the fug away from the Panthers. LOL But trust and believe that Darnold is gonna start looking like Darnold again in the next week or two

I just want a chance to maybe be able to fairly judge our overall offense. Bryce wasn't providing the opportunity.

Never in my life did I expect to be so thrilled that Andy Dalton was going to be starting at QB for the Panthers. LOL

Good. The rest of the roster and the staff and scouts and rest of the front office deserve an opportunity more fairly have their work evaluated. Bryce wasn't allowing for it.

I resorted to cope once it became obvious we were drafting him. If you followed the conversation I was very clearly against the drafting of Bryce based on concerns about his physical talent.

Will it piss off Tepper? Well then good.

Our offense certainly looked drastically different the one game he played last year.

Blaine Gabbert sucks as a starter but he is a better NFL QB than Bryce Young. Based on what I've seen out of Bryce I honestly don't know if there's a single QB on an active NFL roster that I wouldn't take over him. He's THAT bad.

When we picked Cam in 2011 a lot of the media talking heads were trying to hype up Blaine Gabbert #1. Like c'mon... really?

Bryce is different because it's very rare for a high pick to flip because he simply looks like he physically doesn't belong on an NFL field. Top picks usually have the physical tools. Their failure usually comes down to not being able to mentally process well enough or being too cocky to put in the work or off the field stuff or whatever but it is very rarely because they prove to be physically grossly overmatched. That stuff is actually fairly easy to see on the college tape. Bryce honestly should've been a mid round pick. I said leading up to the draft that he looked like a 3rd or 4th round type pick where someone would roll the dice on a really good college player that probably won't translate in the off chance that he does.

I disagree. We still wouldn't be a good team but we'd be moving the ball and scoring points. It'd probably look a lot like Cam's rookie season when we generally scored enough points to compete but the D would find a way to give up just a few more.

Good game. Low scoring but felt more like good D than bad O. The pass rush was eating all night on both sides.

Caleb Williams is not going to make it very many weeks taking these hits.

Oh good lord, Caleb Williams just got fuging MURKED.

Damn, Odunze ran through that DB's hit like he didn't even exist.

Don't do this. LOL Wait until you compare Stroud's passing chart tonight to Bryce's today.

Alright Caleb, let's see it.

Defenses are adapting. It's all about pass rush now.

Five 50+ yard FGs made tonight. Crazy. 50 yarders were coin flips just a few years ago. Now you're expecting them to be made.

No one with other equivalent options is coming to work for this guy.
