Calling it - the Bryce Young trade is the worst in team history

[TN05]

Doesn't matter if he pans out eventually. The entire idea behind it was to win now, and we inexplicably traded out future #1 pick and top wideout for a a QB with "elite processing" and zero elite traits. The entire team has regressed in every department. Nothing is going right. Not only are we not winning now, we're not winning at all.

This might still be tolerable if Bryce Young looked like a #1 pick, but he doesn't. Our superprocessor, Napoleon Bonaparte of a quarterback is making some of the worst decisions you'll ever see, leading to Clausen-esque interceptions, with very little to show otherwise in any time other than garbage time. The coaching staff clearly has no faith in him. The fact he doesn't have weapons or the best line in the league does not matter - if he's not ready to carry a team, we should not have traded what we did for him.

As far as I can tell, no NFL team that traded a first round pick has ever ended up with it being the #1 pick. We will likely end up being the first. This is an outright embarrassment and the worst trade I can think of that we've ever done. Oddly enough, this was one time analytics would have helped Tepper because literally nothing about Young's physical profile screams "NFL quarterback". It will take years to dig ourselves out of this mess.

And before you mention it - no, Sean Gilbert doesn't count. This is because it wasn't actually a trade (it was signing a player under another team's franchise tag), and because Gilbert wasn't actually terrible - he was one of the better pieces on our 1999 and 2000 defenses, just not anywhere near the price of two first-round picks. The most disastrous part of Gilbert was his salary.

No doubt.  And he is trending to be the biggest bust in NFL history considering where he was picked and the cost of getting there to pick him.

Just imagine being the first team in NFL history (at least to my knowledge), that sold out to take a guy at 1, traded their first pick of the next draft, and then turns around and unintentionally tanks that proceeding season.  I don't think a team has ever traded their first and ended up having that pick be first overall before.  That is an unreal L.  Like worst gamble ever.

When the Panthers clinch the worst record then it'll go down in infamy. Honestly it'll replace the Herschel Walker trade in sports infamy.

Yes the Goff trade up was the closest and they got to the playoffs with him, and he kicked our ass today. Bryce won't be starting in 7-8 years unless we still have the same dumbass GM and HC

For sure it will be the moment we hand the Bears the #1 overall pick which happens to be a transcendent QB in Caleb Williams.

 

Any time a team has the #1 and #2 pick in the draft back to back you're going down in history those are franchise changing situations.

He is struggling but still not giving up on guy after 4 games.  That is actually the stupidest thing I ever heard

Lol if you have to go back to Joe fuging Montana's rookie year to make a case for Bryce it aint good.

they probably use that poo for every bust QB like Zach Wilson or Johnny Manziel

Plus people really need to stop acting like 5'10" 190 and 6'1"+ and 220 pounds is the same "undersized" category. Doug Flutie is the only Bryce size comp. You can use PJ Walker too if you want but he obviously has a way stronger arm

Jesus, we need a win, it’s going to be a long week
