I know we aren’t a good team but I’m not ready to give up on Bryce yet. I don’t see why he can’t pan out to be a good game manager. Let’s get this man a speed WR and good guard to sure up the pocket(I’m not sure how Corbett will ever be) half our losses have been 1 possession game. I’m hoping for 7-10 next season and building towards the future. 

If he pans out to only a game manager you realize thats still a massive failure right??

It’s good tape to build on. Even Brown called the game marginally better. Baby steps. lol

What do we consider marginally better than record-breaking ineptitude?

But in all seriousness, congrats to the team on getting a win. Defense carried yet again, but credit goes to the offense for managing to have a clock killing drive leading to the game-winning field goal

I will say, if Bryce can start navigating the pocket like he was in Q4, come out next year through full-NFL conditioning program, under a modern scheme, tailored for him by Waldron/Johnson/Canales/whoever, maybe there's something.  

A hit on the HC with at least one offensive playmaker are the two things that abso-f*cking-lutely need to happen if we want to see if this can work.

The Defence held them to 200 yards, 7 points and forced2 turnovers... and we have people on here crowning Young for leading the team to 3 FG drives (one of which the Defence gifted him).

Fun times.

Some people get it.  This franchise is in such a bad place, that while a win is a win, context is totally lost.

Great post. I'm as frustrated as anyone by how ALL of this has played out, but I'm also aware that he's the guy at least for next year so until we actually could have a path to bringing in someone else to play QB there's no point in cheering for anything but substantial improvement from #9. He may never be the guy you give that much to trade up for but he could still be someone we build the roster around for the foreseeable future.

Bryce has a lot of iffy tape. He also has moments where you really see something special. Talent surrounding him and stability should help bring out more of that specialness.

Do you have examples of that something special? I’m assuming you mean things few other QBs can do?

    • I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.
    • Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.
    • Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
