That last run by Ward, he looked really slow. Not sure what was going on there.

His first Miami INT, definitely not his first college INT.

Trey Lance missed a lot of games due to injury. So there was more hope that he might eventually become an effective NFL qb. I think there is less hope for Young.

Well, 6th and 7th round picks are usually nothing, so we might get that, along with some of his salary off the books. But I think he will stick around for at least this year.

I have a feeling UNC will be looking for a new football coach soon. Maybe they can lure Matt Rhule from Nebraska.

I haven't seen him in practice, but Plummer looked horrible until the last preseason game.

Most of the people saying this aren't personnel people. They are reporters, fans etc... That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if someone made some sort of offer.

Currently? Jayden Daniels had a very successful debut. I watched him and Cade, and Daniels looked better, albeit in extremely limited time. He has looked better than Howell did, at least thru two games.

Last year was a bad scenario. This year, he actually had a pretty decent set up, probably as good as Stroud had last year. Good Oline play, a decent veteran group of receivers, and a running game that has had some success, albeit in extremely limited play. And before anyone says he got Carred, if he didn't have the mental toughness to work thru the issues last year, the odds of him being a successful NFL qb were slim and none.

I doubt leading us in Sacks is much of a factor. I mean he has one more sack than I do.

My guess is that Canales discussed it with him and Morgan, and maybe some others, but in the end, it was Canales call. But its just a guess. I don't think Tepper is necessarily a bad guy, but I do think he is easily conned (Rhule) and a little impatient. And fwiw, I think the current qb issues started when we released Cam and signed Bridgewater, and the qb probably have cascaded since, but that is probably a discussion for another thread.

Agreed, that is a fairly common thing in all sports. He is still our coach/qb/pitcher/point guard/etc.... And then the next day, he isn't.

Regarding Young vs Stroud, I looked at both of them as a crapshoot, but if both were crapshoots, then I would take the bigger one. I think I said that here, but I don't remember specifically.

So what evidence do we have he was involved?

I agree. The oline is playing well enough. Hubbard is averaging nearly 5 ypc. The issue is our qb can't throw it more than 5 yards. A few preseason reps wouldn't have mattered.

And if he can't handle one year of bad oline play, then he was never going to be our guy anyway. I mean mental toughness is definitely a critical part of being an NFL qback.

Unless someone makes some trade offer, there is no actual benefit to dumping him now. And I don't see anyone making a trade offer, although crazier things have happened.

There are way to many news sources now that simply want clicks. I seriously doubt he was shocked.

He probably should have said nothing on the matter. But I don't really care.

If we can get a TD in the first half, that would be an improvement.

I will say that for now, the Aints offense looks dominant. They abused Dallas as well. Not sure we can judge based on that game. In fact,we might have done a little better than Dallas in that we at least held them to fgs a couple of times in the first half.

Agreed, the heart thing tends to be overblown. He just doesn't have the tools.

Until he shows that he can play well against someone other than Southwest Texas hair care school, it's irrelevant what the Mannings want.

Could be. Could also be as Linville alluded to, defensive adjustments. Could also be an aberration. It will be interesting to watch over the next few games.

I wonder if Bryce had played at say Vanderbilt, would he have been drafted?
