Many people, smart people, are running up to me with tears in their eyes.  "Sir, you were right all along, he lacks NFL arm strength".  Crazy Nancy, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, they said Bryce has an NFL arm.  They said "oh no, Trump is wrong about Bryce's arm".  Nobody knows more about football than me, I know many things.  Frankly things that a lot of people don't know much about

I don’t know how this absolute masterpiece got buried in the replies, but you, sir, have made my morning

They don’t know the play BC was injured on. Look if you want to stand by your silly theory go ahead. We have head players and coaches telling us as soon as the doctors clear him he is our starter. So maybe Corbet is lying, Frank is lying (because that’s totally his character), and Young is playing along lying to make you right? Or maybe having a DL land on his ankle sprained it? Which one is the most logical. It’s not hard to see you are just in some sort of denial. 

Fun fact, NFL teams are not fully honest and transparent about what goes on in their organization.   Especially coaches.  If you want to claim that….that, is a conspiracy theory. 

Young hasn’t said diddly to anyone.  No one is accusing him of lying lol.   You keep making these declarations that aren’t happening.  

what we have seen with Young….is NOT what you see with someone trying to get back on the field quickly after suffering from an ankle injury.  Simple as that.  What you are seeing is a rookie shadowing a vet.  The reason? It’s not just the mystery ankle that no one can actually talk about.  We can only guess.

They talk about it each press conference. Did you notice they won’t say what grade Carr’s sprain is? How about them not saying if he will play Sunday or not? Another “soft”‘benching! 😂 

Fun fact your ankle can be sprained and you don’t need a boot. Fun fact when a DL lands on your ankle and it twists like the picture posted on this thread it can sprain it. 
 

So what happens if Young plays this Sunday despite Dalton looking good on offense? Are you still going to spin it as a one week soft benching? Of course you are…

They don’t talk about it.  They get asked questions and say essentially nothing.  

Carr has a sprained AC joint.  NO Coach knows about his QB.  There is no mystery. He went to the hospital.  They ran a bunch of stuff on it. They feel they got lucky with it being that.  And it just happened.  Also spoke about how he felt Carr was trending from one day vs other.   He will keep talking about it. Because that’s normal in regards to your starting QB. 

yes, I will view this as a soft benching because that’s what everything indicates.  But but but Frank didn’t say that. Yeah, remember when folks were saying Frank said Miles Sanders was going to be a 3 down RB and folks dug into that bologna.  Hubbard has been the 3rd down RB every week.  Sanders has always sucked at that job.  Coaches just say bullshit.  And Carolina is clearly bullshitting about Bryce.

He won’t say what grade the sprain is?  This was a HUGE deal to you when they wouldn’t for Young. Suddenly it’s no big deal when another team does? It’s like it’s in the team’s best info to give their opponents as little info as possible about injuries or something.

What about Corbet’s interview saying they will do whatever the doctors say? We don’t inject players with painkillers and make them play through injuries anymore? Is he rattling off Reich’s lies? 
 

What I’m assuming is happening has pictures evidence and multiple people stating it. What you are saying is happening is just you randomly guessing and making assumptions. I know you won’t change your mind you are too far dug in.

lol.  The injury just happened.  And the NO coach has already given vastly more info out on the legitimate and significant injury.  These two things are not being handled the same.   and again, coaches aren't going to want to tell folks everything.  That's not what they do.  But Carr is 100% injured and hurt. 

the fact you are going here is just silly. 

and yes, I am making assumptions.  Educated guesses.  That's largely how you have to go through life.   What I don't do.....is just championing NFL coaches when they bullshit as the truth tellers.  Especially when there are all sorts of weird flags on something.    Again, before the season started I had people blowing gaskets declaring Miles Sanders would 100% be a 3rd down featured back because Frank happened to sell some clear bullshit.

The injury just happened and you stated they went to the hospital to see the extent of the injury.  Would they not know what level sprain it is?  "Coaches aren't going to want folks knowing everything."  Yet our coach is being too vague??  You are contradicting your whole conspiracy theory.

It takes two people to keep this conspiracy theory debate going on.  The fact that you are going on with it but calling someone else silly for doing it is ironic.

Championing NFL coaches?  Wow so plan B is paint the person that pokes holes in your theory into a negative light.  I'm talking about a clear image of a player's ankle getting rolled.  That player getting his ankle looked at that night and coaches and players saying doctors are telling them 1-2 weeks with an ankle sprain which is on the injury report.  Sometimes the most obvious answer is the right one.  It makes sense to me versus trying to play detective and assume this and that.  Also they need to "soft bench" Zavala since that is how they do things now.

again, it literally just happened (one presser) and they have given tons of details in comparison to Bryce factoring that.  And they probably aren't done looking at Carr's injury.  He gave you what they had. 

you aren't making any point using New Orleans/Carr. 

They didn't mortgage our short term future and make Zavala the face of the franchise.  Nor are multiple front office jobs tied to his success.  They can just bench Zavala.  No soft benching needed. 

and again, the most obvious answer is a soft benching.  Not an ankle as the primary driver for his shadowing Dalton coast to coast...and up on an ankle every day that they want better ASAP.

Do you have any proof to back this up or are you just making up stuff that others might not bother to fact-check?

Miles Sanders has more targets than any RB in the NFL currently.  Last week, he was on the field for 57 snaps.  Hubbard 27.  Sanders is 14th in the NFL in touches.  He has more receptions than McCaffrey.  Sounds like someone who is being used as 3-down back to me.  Not sure what you expected, him to be fed the ball like he's Derrick Henry or Christian McCaffrey?

If you want to argue that Miles isn't good in that role, be my guest.  I'm not a big fan of his either.  But claiming the coach lied about how Miles would be used screams BS.  Miles is one of the most used RBs in the NFL 3 games in.  Just because he doesn't play every 3rd down doesn't change that.  No RB plays 100% of their teams 3rd down snaps.  But going off touches and targets and what I have seen from all 3 games, Miles Sanders has been utilized as a three down back.

If you disagree then break down their 3rd down snaps for me.  I will gladly admit I'm wrong if there is a big discrepancy in who is on the field for 3rd downs.

And to clarify, I am not defending Reich.  I am not a big fan of the play-calling 3 games in either, although I do think we should take into account the amount of turnover with the coaches and players.  It takes time to get people to gel.

But it is also kind of annoying how people will say stuff without any facts to go along with it.  Like how are we going to accuse the coach for lying about how often Sanders would be utilized, when he literally touches the ball more than all but 13 other RBs/WRs/TEs?  There is a reason he's so valued in fantasy right now - he is one of the few RBs who appear to dominate the teams backfield as far as touches go.

You know you are talking to the guy who is convinced about the Young benching conspiracy theory? Don’t expect logic or data to change his view. Also yes you will be accused of loving Reich for questioning any of his nonsense. 
Reich looks to have many flaws but he seems pretty straightforward. I don’t see him lying or deceiving anyone intentionally. Just boring ole Reich who needs to let his OC call his plays.

Bryce got a soft benching.  And it’s easier to pretend a tweaked ankle is keeping him out.   They have him shadowing Dalton.  Why? Could be multiple things.  A shell shocked QB or a coach that knows he had him set up to fail.  Both are reasonable.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
