Don't agree with that.  He needs all the live reps he can get after last seasons poo show 

Unless Canales is trying to hide him until game 1. Maybe he doesn't think Bryce is ready yet but this is feeling a little reminiscent of Reich saying the pre season was purposefully vanilla last year.  Because he was trying to hide the fact that the offense was ass. 

Bryce and frankly no one on the team not named Derrick brown has earned this kind of veteran treatment of having whole pre season games off

Every Louisville fan i've encountered online couldn't wait to get rid of Plummer. We'll see. At least he's willing to throw deep

Cannales actually addressed specifically that he thought Plummer gave them a great chance to evaluate the team.  I welcome the opportunity to contrast what we see out of Plummer and the team with what we have coming.  It's wild that DC said out loud that there is no QB competition here.  I mean we all knew it, but dang that's an actual coach saying it doesn't matter who plays the best.

his optimistic shtick is going to get old by week 5 if not sooner

Odd decision given the record of past performances by the starting unit. Not to mention the unknowns with the new faces and whether they form a cohesive group capable of carrying out the new scheme. 

The only takeaway I have from this development is maybe the 1st group is not ready for prime time just yet.

I am old school where the starters play at least a couple of series each preseason game except the fourth. As far as the optimism shtick, dude backs it up with preparedness and effort. I feel like this team is a far reach from being a contender, so saying now that his optimism is going to get old is throwing the towel in a tad early. They need to add a great deal more talent and the guy has proved he can coach some at previous spots

Bryce isn't playing because he isn't confident the oline can protect right now. That's it. The Jets practices, assuming everyone is healthy, will go a long way in them giving Bryce the green light for the rest of the preseason. 

They're already putting it out there that he may not play at all.  It feels like that's how its gonna go.  I'd be surprised if he takes a snap.

I feel pretty good about Canales overall. He won’t be worse than what we have had. Pretty sure, and he may turn out to be a good move. We gotta get through this year. And find answers.

And he shouldn’t unless there is a vast improvement in pass pro. Makes no sense to further shell shock your starting QB that already got the ish kicked out of him his rookie year.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
