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. 

That’s the advantage of getting a heady(intellectual) QB, he’s not going to have to relearn the game.

We saw last year how "splitting" practice reps between Darnold/Mayfield and making them "earn" their job went. We came out week 1 rusty, players had no connection with each other, o-line missing assignments (because of Rhule's dumbass musical chairs theory), etc. It was just an all around mess.

Let's not overthink this. Let Bryce get the much need reps with the 1s. Let Bryce get a connection with his WRs, center, o-line throughout training camp and preseason. Let's not have to figure this sh*t out weeks 1-4 because we wanted to make him "earn" the job. We are not in a position like the 49ers were with Mahomes to let him sit a year. They had the benefit of already being a very good team. We don't have that luxury, let Bryce learn on the fly.

We did this same thing last year with Icky needing to earn the starting job and starting with the #2s. We know Bryce will start game one, but it's a message to the rest of the team and it shows that he doesn't get any special privileges by starting with 2nd team.  It'll be way more interesting if his teammates vote him captain his rookie year.

If he said Bryce is QB1 without throwing a pass in camp, or playing in a preseason game, or learning the playbook we would all be disappointed.  Even with Cam, he had to earn it in Camp and preseason.  This is how it should be stop worrying about every little thing

This is not the same thing, just stop it

I doubt they’ll be splitting reps. Bryce will get the majority of snaps with the 1s and Reich will say again it’s because Dalton doesn’t need reps. Then well before preseason game 1 Bryce will be announced the starter.  Just roster politics, not worth fretting over.

I think they very easily could have named him QB1 right now without any problem.

When Dalton signed, he was saying that he did it knowing he was here to support the #1 pick as his backup, he doesn't expect to be given a fair shot at winning the job by outplaying Bryce in camp.

Everyone knows that Bryce is our best chance at winning both now and in the future, he needs to get the first snap when the rookies can practice with the vets.  Like others have stated, he needs as many reps with the starters as possible so we go into Week 1 as ready as we can be, not still trying to get on the same page.

They can say that's exactly why he's QB1 right now, but that he still has to go out there and earn the right to keep that job, that if he is just terrible in camp and pre-season, Dalton might have to step in until he's ready.

It's not about the name of QB1 or QB2, it's about the reps with the players who will be starting in Week 1.  Hell, you could say Dalton is QB1 but giving Bryce the first snaps with the starers to get him the reps if you want, name doesn't matter, just the reps.

The put it bluntly, I don't give a poo what fans think of how they approach developing a QB. I will accept what Reich, Caldwell, and McCown think is best in this situation.

There are no games to start now and no real reps until August.

These threads are always so cut, as  fans say whatever they have to say, to justify it, and make it right in their minds. 

 

I'm glad we have an all pro coaching staff that's going to do this the right way, regardless of what we fans think we know better.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
