If our #1 pick can't outperform either of these two yeah it's going to be a rough night on the huddle.

PJ Walker is complete trash and not even a NFL caliber QB stop it. Stop acting like a silly fan you’re better than that. Darnold should play well. If you put Bryce on the 49ers today he’d be a MVP candidate.

Bold prediction Darnold will play well and will keep the starting job for the rest of the season.

 

You heard it here first!

I said that the moment the 49ers signed him. Purdy is decent but that offense is designed to make it easy on the QB. Darnold has arm talent, he’s just a straight up goober with the football sometimes. With Shanahan coaching him and scheming the offense, Darnold is going to light it up.

and the dude has a winning record to this day when called up.  Walker isn't complete trash.  He just isn't a starting QB in the NFL.  And literally no one ever positioned him to be anything but a backup.  And often the 3rd string back up.  Complete trash 3rd string backup QBs.... can't maintain a winning record when called upon to step in year after year.  PJ always has gotten unfair heat because of people were angry the starters we invested in frankly aren't really any better than PJ.  PJ Walker was the last QB we have employed for some time that actually did the job he was employed to be well.  And his job was backup QB.

I'm showing a 5-3 record which is great, but 8 INTs to 4 TDs 61% completions with 6.5 yards per attempt.  He isn't what I would want in a backup because he is a wildcard IMO.  He may look great one play and terrible the next.  I'd rather have a Dalton with a higher floor and lower ceiling game manager type of backup.  Teddy for example is a great backup.

but PJ Walker largely enters each season as the 3rd string QB.  That's why I don't get the heat people give him.  Even Dalton enters each year in the 2nd string tier.

Yeah he is about right for a 3rd stringer IMO.  I'd prefer a development younger QB, but he works.

Bryce Young has a lower YPA than PJ Walker. I don't like it but that's what it is right now. Bryce can make a great deal of progress this weekend. I hope he does.

You can’t watch those games this year with him and Cleveland and think them winning has anything to do with him. He’s The Golden Calf of Bristol bad.

And a lower QBR and everything else. He’s trash. Hasn’t thrown a TD yet with a much better team around him.

Only because guys like PJ don’t qualify. PJ’s is lower on a much better team. 

Obviously PJ Walker is not a starting caliber QB. But when you draft a guy #1 and trade a player and future picks you should expect that guy to be head and shoulders above the likes of PJ Walker. Like in another league better. Let's hope Bryce has a good game Sunday. We need something positive to discuss.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
