I never had anything against people being hopeful but It was taken well beyond that. Some vocal people treated it like a "Im right youre wrong, Bryce will be the best ever"  sort of poo. Thats what irritated me I almost got banned for saying Bryce might not succeed and that his size doesnt inspire confidence lol

Yeah it drove people off for damn sure cause we couldn't dare suggest BY9 wasn't a generational talent, much less suggest he was not really that great.

Yeah here. I just don’t think you can make a determination on any offensive player this season. I haven’t looked at final stats but think he ended up with more TD than INT and around 3000 yards in an absolutely terrible scheme, with a subpar OL and skill group, 2 HCs/horrible GM/worst owner in the league. It’s easy to put all the blame on the QB (which the huddle really likes to do) but I don’t think Bryce ever had a chance this year. He was setup for failure this year. Regardless he gets all of next year so we will see how he looks with a full NFL offseason and new coaching staff. 

Even given that, how can you go through an entire season and not make one great play down the field? I don’t think this has ever happened

Can someone explain to me why from day 1 Bryce went into TC the starter? They had him making freaking adjustments at the line and didn't even make him beat Dalton (who proved against Seattle he was at least a top tier backup). 

We even had a ridiculous shot to get within 1 game of the NFC south after we played Houston (where Reich knew he was on the hot seat) and Dalton was never given a chance. 

I'm not saying Dalton>Young... The main thing

Hit enter on accident lol. 

Main thing is there was no reason to get Bryce killed if he couldn't beat Dalton in TC.

I'll give him another year with (hopefully) good coaching a a real GM to put some talent around him. If he's looking the same midway through next season I think it's safe to say we have to move on.

This is the correct answer.  All the other answers are just hysterical boo hooing.

I guess I watched a different season. I saw a few seriously nice downfield throws just in the GB game. I know we’ve moved on to that game being a fluke but the throws were made on that day.

Because this year wasn’t about winning.. And Dalton is 34 years old..

He’s not good. It’s not a matter of weapons… he has terrrrrrible footwork and his balls float in the air … I can’t believe we passed on Stroud for a high school QB

 

we clearly have to give the kid another year, but I just don’t see it working out.

Maybe he’s good in 70% effort practices. In hindsight, It was clear from the first preseason real live action he was overmatched.

No. We have one more season minimum to give him a shot with hopefully a competent coaching/offensive staff and some weapons. He’s been terrible, but considering his circumstances and what we gave up, you go all in and give him a shot next year….thats all we can do. I hope he has an offseason dedicated to improving in all areas and that we see an improvement because I can’t take another season like this.

He's got eight or nine more games to prove that he has a future in the NFL. A season and a half worth of starts is the consensus amount by which to judge a QB's potential.

By the middle of next season we should know if he's the future of this franchise, or a future backup, or should be cut.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
