Watching Young is like watching Russ during his time in Seattle

Young is at his best when he’s running around buying time while keeping his eyes downfield. It’s fun

I just posted this is another thread. That doesn’t typically translate well as NFL DL are much bigger and faster.

McCall did his thing again even in a loss.

I mean, 3 passing TDs 358 yards, 0 picks and a 76% completion rate in a loss is pretty dang good.  CCU had a sieve in their rushing defense...they gave up as many rushing yards as McCall had passing!  Yes, passing yards get inflated when trailing big in a game, but usually the completion rate suffers and INTs happen. Neither occurred in this instance which is a very good indicator that he doesn't panic and is cool under pressure in the face of adversity.

He made some incredible throws downfield.  A few were beautiful over the shoulder NFL throws

He's super interesting. I like him a lot more than most of the generally accepted second tier.

    • I still contend no well run team would have him on the roster next year.  You got to move on from him.  And you can't put the #1 overall pick, 3 year starter as the backup...that creates horrific in house dynamics. 
    • I do think there is a win/lose aspect he is presently in with his QB situation.   Let's say he does some really good Steve Wilks play ugly to win coaching......with a really ugly game plan beats SF (which we could have), gets New Orleans, and a Tampa game.  Completely minimizes Bryce Young.  well, that would have put him at 9-8 on the season.   And then......Bryce Young is going nowhere.  Maybe Morgan replaces Dalton but the Bryce conundrum gets even worse.  Now you go that 5th year.  and we know Bryce is going to get unfair credit.  He already gets absurd credit for anything that goes okay.  you are to an extent damned if you do if you are Canales IMO.   I want them all gone.  I just don't think Tepper can get the hire.  I think the only way Tepper can get a good hire....is to give a decent coach way more power than Tepper would like.  
    • As a general optimist who tries to be even handed, I was in the “I have hope” but it’s now gone category.  I acknowledged that the bad games were more frequent than the OK ones which were in turn more frequent than the good ones. I just held out hope that he could put things together and more consistently perform at those mid and higher levels. But I’m off that train now. I think he can probably improve his consistency a bit from where he is, but it’ll never be good enough. He’s on the roster next year because he’s under contract, but I don’t think we should pick up his 5th year option and definitely not extend him. He may start next year too because there genuinely are not as many competent QBs as there are starting spots in the league, so the alternatives are all trash. But we’ve got to get fresh blood in the QB room and find our next starter.
