Dalton as the Current Starting QB

[tukafan21]

Guessing this has been discussed within a thread, but not seeing a dedicated one to it and don't want to dig to find where it's being discussed, so if there is already one out there, sorry for this if there is an ongoing discussion of this already.

I have no problem with them taking this standpoint at this moment before he's even had rookie mini camp, but by the time real training camp starts, this needs to end and he needs to be taking first reps with the starting unit from day 1.

It didn't work for the Jags 2 years ago with Lawrence, they knew he'd be the starter but by having him in a "true competition" it just took away much needed snaps with the first team offense and it didn't go well for them.

Well has Bryce even signed his contract?

Worked out great for the Bears. But the difference is, here I believe that’s just coach speak / organization speak. Bryce should not split a single rep with any other QB on the roster.

Lawrence also had a shitty coach.

Fields was nowhere near as pro-ready as Bryce is, night and day difference.

Plus they had a shaky OL with not many weapons. Our offense is setup for a rookie to step right in.

Bryce will start the season, but the whole reason you bring in Dalton is so that you don't have to name him the starter immediately.

Reich is old-school and will most definitely make Bryce earn the starting job. Which I have no doubt he will

[Hoenheim]

This doesn't mean anything. It would if he wanst ready by week 1 but that's a long ways off

Bryce said he ‘wants’ to earn it. Have to let him do that. 

[WUnderhill]

I’m sure Bryce will be starting by game 1, I just hope all this “earn it” stuff is all coach speak and he doesn’t miss many reps with the 1s. Dalton hasn’t earned the right to be named the starter any more than Bryce has.

[Cdparr7]

It’s coach speak.

I don’t doubt that if Young has a rough training camp and pre-season they will start a steady hand with Dalton, but even that likely wouldn’t be longer than a few games.

Bryce likely wins the job in camp.

Bryce should be running with the 1's all camp and preseason.
