Someone logically explain to me how pretending Bryce has an injury can be beneficial in any way to the coaches? 

 

Fitt/Frank are 100% tied to the success of Bryce Young. 

so yeah, not ruining him out the gate benefits them both.  And the current trajectory was really bad through 2 games.  Seattle was projecting to continue the bad trend.  We don’t have the offense presently to support a rookie QB.  It’s how you ruin a QB.   So they pumped the breaks. 

It’s very easy to see why pumping the breaks is to everyone’s benefit….because everything hinges on him developing.

See this is where you lost me. There’s not any concrete evidence benching him will be meaningful in any way. Peyton Manning threw 28 picks his rookie year. Luck had a QBR of 54 his rookie season. I could go on and on and on with #1 picks that started immediately. None of them got benched. The absolute best thing for a rookie QB is game reps. Benching him takes away time on the field and at worst, you could show him up if Andy looks good. I’m sure that will be an exquisite confidence boost for Bryce.

You can ruin a QB early and derail his odds of success by putting them in a horrific spot.   All reps aren’t equally nor are situations.

Don’t disagree with your premise, but you’re essentially just saying don’t start him in Seattle because it’s loud. Because that defense sucks. It’s a bottom 5 defense by most metrics. This isn’t the legion of boom anymore. It honestly would’ve probably been a good game for Bryce to get right because their secondary is suspect in every way.

OR maybe he rolled his damn ankle and we don't need him to play through an injury that can get worse because we aren't making a playoff run this year.  Sometimes the simplest answer is the right now.

If they're thinking that way that vibe sure changed fast.

    • Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do 
    • I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.   
    • It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
