Andy Dalton Expected to Start

Yup. If he's doing that well, let Bryce spend a season taking mental reps. Rodgers rode the bench for 3 years. Worked out pretty well for him, and the team.

Hey guys, remember the part where I was called insane and dumb for speculating that this was a soft benching and the staff using the phantom injury to save face and if Bryce still ended up playing my theory fell apart?  What a crazy conspiracy, right?

🤣

You're right. Let's just fold the franchise.

You and I would.  But would a FO and HC be willing to admit that BY isn’t ready after declaring him the starter a couple days into camp?  That’s a tough pill to swallow

They wouldn't. They'd ride this phantom ankle injury.

If they put him in a boot for appearance sake after everyone saw him walking around looking fine at practice today then you know it's bullshit.

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

If my dumbass could look at the south and look at this roster and see we are starting a rookie qb and know we are in for a long season then how does this dumb motherfuger not see it?   Fitt needs to be shown the door like yesterday.   Was it dumbass fitt or dumbass tepper/nicole that said Stechien was a bad zoom interview but yet we hired this 62 year old retread that is insistent on call weak ass plays?

No, you wouldn't. Andy Dalton isn't the future of poo.

The problem here is some of you, for some reason, expected this to be a playoff team despite all evidence to the contrary and now you're suddenly realizing that you were wrong.

Starting Dalton means nothing for this staff in the long run. A win Sunday means nothing for this staff in the long run. A playoff berth with Dalton at QB means nothing for this staff in the long run. Bryce Young is either the future of this team or Tepper is going to clean house within 2 years and start over.

Benching Bryce Young with a fake injury would essentially be this staff throwing in the towel and telling Tepper that they can't do what he specifically hired them to do. That would be FAR more damaging to their careers than starting him and getting poor play from a rookie QB.

It's always within reach until it isn't.  It's a lot tougher to flip a roster in the NFL then they realized I'm sure.  

Its really troubling that they totally misassesed this roster and think its good enough to win now.  Their plan is to throw poo against the wall and pray the coach can win with it.

You would honestly bench a guy putting up 275+ yards and 35 points to play your shiny rookie out of pride? That would be dumb.

I'm fairly certain they stated we would start off slow, but see improvements towards the end of the year.   That was after the preseason.  Remember @CamWhoaaCam got mad and you were telling him that our staff is saying what you were saying all offseason?  As for the offseason quotes, I wouldn't put too much weight into any of that.

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
