Bryce Young needs to ride the bench this season. Let him learn behind Dalton before it's too late.

I don’t understand why Reich and crew thought is was a good idea to play this schedule in the preseason.. Knowing they had new coaching a new system to learn and a completely new offense with a rookie QB..

He needed to evaluate other players to find out just how bad our depth really is. We all found that out. It's why he said he didn't know what type of team he was going to have until the played game 1. Now he knows what he's dealing with and he has his work cut out for him.

I think he just got conformation on why this was a perennial 5 to 6 win team and why its going to take more than Bryce to fix it.

I still don’t understand.. Looking at depth and not looking at your staters more.. The players you planned on playing the most needed reps.. I’m not saying play them the full game but get more then 2 qrt of reps in the offseason.. Ppl have been getting a look at depth while getting reps for their starters for years..

Instant gratification will not apply with this team, or with Bryce. 

He'll have some good games and he'll have some bad ones like Sunday. The team will lose because of him and they'll win because of him. Hopefully the wins begin to outnumber the losses sooner rather than later, but he'll need to develop experience before that happens. He was Bated (pun intended) by a vet yesterday due to lack of experience. 

Other than those few plays, he looked good enough to start. No QB makes every read and every throw. And he has plenty of arm strength to be effective. Take your lumps early and reap the benefits later. 

Oh and develop these young WRs. They are not helping the cause.

I think he thought his starters would play better.  Or at least he thought he had more "starter" level players than what we actually have. I mean I knew some of them would not start on another team but I'm not an optimist like Frank.  

Scott gets the players and Frank decides who plays. They both have work to do and not a lot of room for error.

    • The whole Keegan Michael Key thing is being over blown. It was a 2 minute zoom call. Rico's celebration etc. was like a half an hour distraction.  A little bit of levity every now and then isn't the end of the world. I'm not even that mad at the Victory Monday. They won a tough game on the road and Rico and the oline were getting banged up pretty good. However, if there was a lackadaisical lack of preparation, that's on DC for not getting on that ass. Also, I cringe whenever I hear "leadership council." This is the NFL, not camp Wakanda.
    • Yea I agree I gotta give it to Morgan for finally drafting a player who might develop and become a good player with the team. After years of Scott Fitterer’s garbage I’m hopeful they’re drafting at least a few players who will last more than 2 years on the team. 
    • I've seen QBs come back and succeed. If Darnold and Mac Jones can do it, Howell isn't necessarily dog poo. I'm not saying he can thrive, but I'm also not saying it's impossible.  Many of the problems these kids have are based upon the fact that they are immediately thrust into the spotlight before they're ready. They should be sitting, just like in the old days. They should primarily be sitting and learning, not being put under a buzzer where the primary focus of the higher-ups is throwing poo at a wall and seeing what sticks before a rookie contract runs out. I think this is definitely the case where it's obvious that it's a mind thing--bad decisions and/or learning at a slower pace--than a lack of physical tools. Sometimes different people, theories and concepts are coming so fast that the kid is screwed from the start, and we never get to see a legit sample size because things keep changing too fast.  So I'm not necessarily phased by being passed around "like candy." If they're some good bones there, we may as well take a look. Being in QB hell, you shouldn't dismiss QBs out of hand. Some of these guys are still young. I would bet that if Howell were in Minnesota or Green Bay, he'd be better. Darnold is legit better, and Malik Willis looked like a different QB the last time that we saw him. Lance, Howell, Levis, they're all guys I'd look at.  To the OP's greater point, I just think they're actually are some guys in this class that could possibly be legit, and it's not as bone-dry as some are assuming.  Even Drew Allar might one day be legit.
