It's whatever to me. We all called for Brown and the offense still sucked. It honestly probably got even worse.

How about we see that red headed dude at QB again? Let's find out of the offense suddenly looks a lot better again. That sure would be uncomfortable confrontation with reality.

You mean when we threw 60 times against a depleted secondary and still lost? Yea let’s do that again. Look even if Andy wins 3-4 games so the fug what. We still aren’t going to the playoffs, we still can’t block, and our coaches still suck. It’s about the future and Andy isn’t apart of that. Bryce is and that’s just something you’ll have to come to terms with. Willingly or unwillingly.

You really are sad. Bryce may be the future. I am willing to bet he won’t be starting for us in 2026.

I agree. At this point in the season it wouldn’t hurt. Bryce is getting worse.

I'd just like to know for sure. If Andy Dalton looks a lot better than Bryce Young again then it's not a fluke.

Yeah he knows his days are numbered.  It's a panic move.

Don't know if it's a panic move. Might be a little controlling though.

Playcalling isn't as simple as just picking a play to run. You have to know situational football, how to use plays to set things up, etc.

Brown might not have enough experience to understand those factors. I can see taking it away from him for reasons like that.

That said, part of the idea was to free Frank up to concentrate on other things. He now loses that benefit. And realistically, while it might have been better with Reich, it wasn't exactly great either.

I was really hoping he'd give it to Caldwell. He's not only got experience doing it but a record of success.

It was a good game by Dalton, but I mean his average YPA was meh (just like Young's).  We put up 27 points which is our highest but Young put up 24 and 21 his last two games before Brown took over play calling in half the amount of attempts.  I get that points are points but you are talking about a 3 point swing from Young's best game.  I'd rather keep letting the rookie get reps to see if he can get better or not.  A couple extra wins with Dalton doesn't do much for us.  Plus Dalton had some good games last year with NO and some stinkers.  It's kind of where he is at now in his career.

I mean, this season's not going anywhere. What's the point?

The only thing of any practical value that you're really going to get out of the rest of this year is player development, especially for Young.

I just don't see anything to be gained by sitting him.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
