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

Sure. Sounds like a winning idea but we will not do that. Watch. 

They are all in on this QB. Funny that as an investment banker Tepper is making a classic investor blunder in doubling down on a bad bet. But, I guess Young is just a "distressed asset." 

Too bad we aren’t getting any bailouts.

Idk yet, still new to me so I cannot automatically assume one way or another what they will do.  I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen... like drafting legit TE help over the past 3 seasons.

Dave Canales was able to get Baker to put up 4000 yards and 28td's to 10 int's. If he doesn't think Bryce has the ability to run the offense he wants to run, then I'd be all for going and getting Sam Howell from the Commanders. 

As much as the fanbase would hate it... I don't hate this idea as much.

I'm still a Bryce guy but Sam Howell is an absolutely perfect fit for the offense that Canales ran in Tampa this year. Dude throw's a great deep ball but he needs to control some of his erratic play and taking so many sacks but to be fair the Commanders had an awful Oline last year.

Other than a cheap vet FA or a very late round flyer or UDFA, no more QBs this year. No trades. No attempt at a top shelf FA. No day 1 or 2 draft picks.

Intention should absolutely be to see if we can get something (performance-wise) out of this pick that we fuggin paid so much for with a new coaching staff.

Then next year see what, if anything, can be done to get another one.

But we are at the beginning of a several year process to make us really competitive. We roll with who we've got this year and focus coaching on Bryce and building up the parts around him.

Nope. If he shitts the bed in 2024, you go QB in the next draft. If he is bad again, the draft pick will be top ten. Teams needs Oline, WR, Edge rusher in draft and FA.

Deep WR draft so I'm confident on being able to build that room, OL is shaky to me so far you have really good guys and then a chasm and then alright guys. Hopefully the Senior Bowl can alleviate some of the worry there. Should be some later round Edge guys that are decent.  Unlikely to spend the entire draft and FA periods on those 3 positions though.  Should evaluate from top to bottom and chip away.  if QB ends up one of the places they address later in the process then so be it.

Then we wait 2 years and take advantage of other options until then. Hopefully we won't need to do that.

Just imagine the 2026 draft the panthers have the 1st overall pick and Bryce is a confirmed bust and the Manning family tells Tepper to kick rocks and that Arch will not play for him. Just imagine the huddle melt down🤣

I'd call their bluff and draft him anways. "Make his preferred team trade for him."

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
