Start with giving the ball to Rico. Give him the first 10 carries and then make a decision from there.

Take time to rest up Bryce. As much as you need. And let’s see what happens in the meantime without Canales having his hand forced.

I think others have said it here, but after what I’ve seen of XL the past 3 games, I’d love to see what he can do with a QB capable of stretching the field (I.e. almost anyone but Bryce)

I do feel the competition between Rico and Chuba is a very good thing. You could tell they were both giving their all yesterday. What a good problem to have!

How can Andy be on the top 5 list? Almost every poster here told me he sucked yesterday. Even though we were in obvious clock killing mode, the stadium was windy, he hit the long pass to win the game, etc.

Agreed, especially with having a competent running game and a strong D. That’s a winning formula anywhere.

Such a good take and how I feel 100%. Would just pie, but I don’t have it right now to give. Will come back later to here and the pie thread. This is definitely the kind of data point that is going to be great for determining where Bryce Young truly is. My personal feeling is he is holding back the offense and Morgan/Canales are forced to stick with him because of the sunk cost fallacies that Tepper forced the previous regime into.

Well said here. I do hope today will keep Rico fresh for what we’re going to need to do next week against the Bills to win.

Great game XL!

We won’t know for a bit, but it’s telling he didn’t come back in. This is going to be quite the data point for our Bryce franchise QB decision.

Are we going with Hooker as #2 next week?

Yep, god forbid we do the 5th year extension without Bryce actually being competent over a long sample size.

Ahh my bad. I saw the post about last time having a winning season and then saw your post. missed the one where someone said this late in the season.

No, it was 2021 when we were 3-0 with Darnold.

Amazing game by Jaycee. Best game yet by XL. Good work by Andy when it mattered. Not happy about Chuba getting so many carries over Rico. The back and forth makes no sense. Hoping we get Andy next week and can get to 5-3 over the Bills. The sooner we move on from Bryce the better.
