Hope for TMJ?

I mean, he hasn't been the answer to a lot of questions so far, but he isn't costing us much more money than his roster spot at the moment. Let him compete.

Of course, he might want to work on more than one good route. 

There is literally such a lack of talent on this roster right now that just by giving it some semblance of effort you could make a difference. That's a heck of an opportunity for someone who is willing to work at it. But if that drive isn't there, then we can't manufacture something for him.

Root hog or die.

I'm with you on this one. You can't make a determination on ANYONE on offense from last year, it was just a JUCO level coaching and roster management effort. Before last year he flashed a few times but again, joke of a coaching staff (but not as bad as whatever Reich was doing). 

I don't expect anything elite from TMJ, but he 100% can be a Josh Reynolds type of player. Not a massive impact guy, but can get you 500-700 yards a year and help stretch the defense a bit. If he turns into someone that opposing d coordinators have to at least consider and plan for which opens up the defense a bit... catch a few long balls a year and give us 500 yards and lets call it a day. 

Reason I pump the breaks on both TMJ and Mingo…..is they were just 500-700 per year collegiate guys.

Terrace Marshall had a lot of potential and was flashing very nicely until pipsqueak took over under center.  His decline, and the decline of the entire offense, can be completely blamed on Bryce Young's absolute ineptitude as a QB.

Yep. This offense was such an elite group in 2022, that it has to be the pipsqueak QB (that at least 50% of the NFL had ranked as the #1 pick in the draft) is the reason they passed for 1 yard less than they did in 2022. All with a new offensive scheme that didn't fit the oline or receivers, an completely new coaching staff including a first time OC, a ridiculous number of injuries on the interior oline, losing their only productive WR, and only true receiving all-world running back. Yep, that's it. Makes perfect sense now.

I was gonna say, the guy flashed way more with Sam Darnold and pj walker at QB than bryce who is a no.1 pick. So technically bryce is supposed to be hands down better than those guys.

Now a rookie Bryce Young is being blamed for TMJ having done nothing in his three year career.  Poor guy is turning into the "Thanks Obama" meme.

I heard it's Bryce's fault that TJ Watt injured Cam and ruined his shoulder.  He also may have shot JFK....

Reich barely gave him any playing time.  Hell he was inactive for several games last year.  I think he played 9 games with limited snaps.

No he is not being blamed for the last two seasons but you really cannot excuse Young’s effect last year. I know you want to, so you do.

 

 

He was inactive for a chunk of games, only played 9 with limited snaps. Sure you can blame the QB but he has to be towards the bottom of the liability list I would imagine. 
I do think Bryce shares some blame of Mingo’s issues last year. He are some examples…

That is one of the least impressive 'flash reels' I've ever seen. What is this guy talking about?

    • 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.
