Dalton as the Current Starting QB

TLDR:  Relax, teams need to go in with this as a consistent approach.


I don’t think you trade your starting wide receiver along with future 1/2 round draft capital for a “ franchise QB” to bring him along slowly and try to find a way to work him into the line up.  Not in todays NFL.  The coaches and FO will do everything to make that happen.  
 

Generally speaking, you also don't want to anoint a player a starting spot based solely on where they are drafted. This could lead to complacency (probably not the case with BY) and send signals to other guys who are working their asses off trying to get more playing time. Hence the emphasis on earning PT.  It’s the right and most importantly, the consistent message to send to the team despite the pearl clutching it causes with some of the fan base. 

 

Now to be fair. The Huddle is really good at 2 things. Living in fear of the past, and clutching those pearls so hard you need a pry bar to get them loose.

 

IMO, the QB reps should be distributed thusly. 70% to Young, 20% to Andy, with Corral and Eason splitting the last 10%. End of discussion and close the thread. lol

Meh.  All the  QB's need snaps with both 1st and 2nd string OL, Wr's and RBs because those 2nd stringers play.  OL, WR and RB injuries are quite common.  To just dictate that this QB is one and only takes snaps with the other designated 1s is poor planning.  Is there an NFL team that designates all the 1s right after the draft and then only those players practice together?    The huddle over-dissects this stuff.

Old school coaches want to make the youngster earn it. Even if everyone knows it's basically a farce. 

 

It's only a farce if he wins the job. There is a possibility of other outcomes.

 

We all expect him to be the day 1 starter. Anything less would be a let-down considering where he was drafted and all. But if it takes a little while for him to get it. So be it. Dalton is more than capable of leading this team until Bryce is ready to take the reins. 

 

Short story long. The vets aren't going to follow him until he proves he can lead them. And as of right now? He hasn't had an opportunity to show them anything.

Andy Dalton is there to help ease his transition to the NFL. I imagine the first week or so of camp we'll see Young taking reps with the 2nd team offense and gradually moving to the 1st team. I trust the staff knows what they are doing given all they've invested.

Let down? This place is going to be a complete poo show if Andy Dalton starts week one. 😂

Could you imagine Andy Dalton starting week one for us while Stroud and Richardson has great debuts?

What happens if Bryce doesn't start, and Stroud and Richardson bomb?

 

Point being. The staff have a plan for Bryce. If everything goes accordingly, Bryce should be our day 1 starter. However, there is still a possibility circumstance may get in the way of said process and other outcomes may arise,

 

IMO, Bryce has done nothing to show what he is capable of doing. Can't we just wait until he does before we crown him? Or throw him under the bus, whichever one is most appropriate.

I'm just acknowledging the obvious that the plan is going massively awry if Young doesn't start week one.

That's why he needs to be with the number ones , and be the starter , going against the starting D 

Cam didn't do anything either, and him starting week 1 was never in question 

And the list of great QBs who was thrown in the deep end and expected to sink or swim is a long one , Peyton Manning sucked in his first game , now he is a HOFer , you can't learn unless you are feeling the heat first hand

I know you are a worry-wart. But Bryce not stating day 1 is not the end of the world. Now if he is still not starting after say week 6? Then we may have something to worry over.

 

We all expect him to be the starter. I do expect the coaches to do everything in their power to get him ready. We just have to hope for the best.

I'm more talking about practices. Can he take the classroom out onto the practice field? Can he get the plays in? Can he get everyone lined up? Can he hit his receivers in stride? Those types of things.

FILO. First one in, last one out.

 

Bryce will be this teams leader. When will that reign begin?

I don't know how you interpret this as worrying. 😂

All I can go by is the language that you use. Farce, massively wrong, and posing questions about what ifs. And you always seem to jump to worse case scenarios. That's why I said you worry over all this.

 

What do you see when you read your own posts? 

 

I mean, every post on this page has a negative connotation. That's what I see.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
