At this point I am inclined to side with you on this and think that Frank has been a detriment to Bryce.  I think they have scripted crap for him to a point that it is hindering his ability to perform and that scripting often goes awry.   He definitely has some things to work on and there are many questions/concerns but it seems like we are watching the same game every week.  Get down to or near the red zone.  Team has momentum on the back of a good play.  There is confusion, play clock goes down to 2 seconds and burn a time out.  That seems to be a regular theme.  They pulled Bryce on 4th and 1 and let Dalton do the sneak yesterday.  Got the first down and I think the very next play he was in on there was some last second crap again where they were late getting lined up. That stuff needs to be a lot more crisp and until it is the game will not flow for him. 

Reich sucks but you fire him and Young has to start all over with a new coach and new offense.  Thats not doing him any favors.  I think Tepper leans into stability instead of rash decision

I said that in the game thread but all these reps are important and its no such thing as garbage time for young players. The Lions were giving up yards but they were 100 percent trying to stop the Panthers from scoring. 

Right on!!! 👏

I would be very surprised at a mid season firing but one would hope that Reich loosens up things for BY.  I am not totally out on BY at this point but there are huge red flags.  Some can be cleaned up (homer hope?) but right now the coaching staff seems to be magnifying them rather than masking.

One of the biggest problems is that Young simply isn’t a good enough athlete to be able to create at the NFL level. So until his brain gets up to NFL speed it’s going to be pretty tough 

Even if his brain does get up to NFL speed I’m not exactly sure what that makes Young. I keep thinking Jimmy G. Hesitant to throw downfield. Probably misses a few games every year. Dependant on the guys around him

We spend all of these resources to trade up to number one, we spend all of this money on coaches that are pure specialists- old and new. There’s no reason the teams effort should he this poor. A junk team like Arizona tries hard every game, Houston seems to have a stable foundation and they’ve made Stroud comfortable with less options. Every single time Laviska touches the ball, something great happens, but let’s continue to use him 2-3 times a game only. Yeah obviously Bryce hasn’t looked great, but I don’t know many rookies who’d come into this nervous , nonchalant mess, and be successful. There’s no reason to hold onto Reich any longer. The team isn’t going to magically buy into his soft methods of coaching and we need a sideline guy who looks like he gives a damn.

The entire team is watching as we start an obviously inferior RB and QB. That’s hard on morale. Play the players that give us the best chance win or have the locker room implode… it’s about to get worse.

When the 13-year veteran put up big numbers in the fourth quarter of a blowout, it made him a quality starter 

When a rookie does it in his fourth game, it somehow doesn’t mean anything. Lol 

Just to be clear here…he had 267 yards through three quarters. 
 

Bryce still hasn’t reached that in any game he’s played in. That’s removing the fourth quarter of Daltons game.

Most of the players on this team are inferior.  Burns may or may not get 1 sack a game and it not a difference making play. Horn has the potential to be good but he can't stay healthy.  Luvu and Thielin are playing the best out everyone. Andy Dalton is the better QB but I think Bryce will get through these tough times and with better coaching or play calling he will get better. Trevor Lawrence look like trash year 1 but with the right coach he became who we thought he was.

Lawrence is very physically gifted though so not a good comparison. You got an example of a sub 6' 190 lb qb that looked terrible then turned it around and went on to be great?

Lawrence was in an actual toxic situation with Meyer. Coach clearly bailed on the team in Ohio. This isn’t the same. 
 

Fields is tied for second in the NFL in passing touchdowns. If he’s breaking out it would have been after his coach and GM were fired in his first season. 
 

Jalen Hurts I believe also saw his coach get fired early on in his career but his third year boom was the second year of the system he was in. Fields is doing it in year 2 of the system he is currently in. 
 

It’s possible to get better after the first coach is fired but what coach is coming to Carolina if Reich is fired one year after Rhule is fired? It looks like a clear stay away from this dumpster fire organization because you’ll be fired quick. And a QB needs consistency.

No new coach is tying his wagon and career to young.  No new coach is going to come knowing tepper will fire you at the drop of a hat and bryce young is your life line to success.  I suspect fitt and reich get next year regardless and if it doesnt get better its house cleaning time

 

But I will say again, IMO, 4 wins or less should be grounds for dismissal all things considered, it wont happen but should.  After all that big fuging talk if all you can show is 3ish wins then its time to pull the plug

4 completions of 15+ air yards…

progress…I guess 

 

4 of 9 for a TD and pick in the 10-20 yard range.  You guys say it's Frank play calling, but Frank isn't the one who is lukewarm completing passes beyond 10 yards.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
