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.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
