Doubling down on Young. I don't like it. We NEED Young insurance.

The most obvious comparison for Bryce is Trey Lance, based on where he was drafted, and what SF paid to get him. He got 2 seasons (8 games).

Of course, they had a loaded team and no time to wait. And a good front office. What are the odds we find a Brock Purdy?

But if we've learned anything about Tepper, it's that he's not a "sunk costs" guy.

Bryce will get another season with no competition because of sunk cost. Nothing else. 
 

If Corral (a 3rd rounder) played all season and did what Young did, no one would be required to “fix” him and run it back. 
 

If Canales/Morgan don’t have a plan B, then the season has a high potential to be a complete waste of time.

Once a true assessment is made yeah, that should be the case, but while certain things may be reading apparent a true assessment that can and should take some time. The business side can unfortunately have a significant impact on the leeway provided in said assessment.

You don’t get drafted first overall without there being talent there. There is nothing assumed about it. Whether that talent can translate is a different question but the talent remains. 
 

Simply put no QB could succeed given the circumstances this past season. Did Bryce contribute to those circumstances. Yes. Do you give up on the rookie because of that? No. 
 

That’s the question being discussed here. Change the scheme, get better coaching around him, fix the oline, add some receivers. 
 

If he is still playing bad after that then obviously you move on. But you can’t expect a successful franchise if you are so flippant with highly rated players not living up when you give them poo situations. 
 

it’s been proven countless times a QBs landing spot and situation is the biggest determiner of success. 

And for the umpteenth time 'success' doesn't necessarily mean wins and losses. There were still plenty of things to fairly assess Bryce on and he was not impressive on those things in his control. Coupled with the obvious objective physical limitations, it is fair to say his singular performance was poor and that he has challenges to improvement that other QBs don't face.

What's done is done. We're going to have to watch if he hits his Teddy 2.0 potential or not and hope the team around him becomes perfect enough to enable it. Not an ideal situation though.

Any smart qb would have done what Bryce did- only throw in tight windows to a guy who can catch it. I wouldn’t trust belly-catchers Mingo or Chark with any tight window throw either. Either they are wide open or move on with your reads. Mingo should be boxing out and throwing CB’s around like rag dolls if he was worth a crap. He’s trying to AJ green instead of AJ brown.

Corral probably would have won another game or two with his running ability lol. If the offense is clicking sans Bryce by like week 5 and he's not benched then we'll know it's the Tepper show for real

Mingo is not a belly catcher, and neither is Chark. 

 


    If you like, look at the vid beginning at about the 16 minute mark.

You guys need to stop making things up just to make Young look better than he was. He needs to get better, which is the whole point.

You may be right about Corral.

I still hate the way things went with him. He got a taw deal.

Whatever. I'll tell you like I told Kunfoodude, y'all ain't the only ones that watched the game. And, yes, I watched every single play of the season.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
