Plummer was bad, but the reality is when bryce looks the same the narrative wil be different. And that's when the jumping hurdles will come out. 

There just isn't an elite talent on this roster to mask how bad it is.

Yeah that is fair. How many excuses were made for Plummer tonight in the game thread? I am going to guess a very low number.

Looking at the situation going into tonight, expectations had to be basement level, and that held true.

So rationally (and after last year) I knew it would be like a visit to the dentist, but it was a soul killing couple of hours all the same.

Okay, that was like watching old people f***, I admit. But overall, I'm quite impressed with the defense. Evero showing once again why he is and should be a sought after HC candidate. He really can make chicken salad out of chicken poo. 

The offense looked as bad as I expected given that we inexplicably rested our starters. And the really sad part is I don't expect much improvement when they are on the field. 

I mean, watching young people f*** ain't exactly must-see TV.

My man didn’t you watch Jack Plummer tonight?!  if Bryce plays and gets hurt Plummer is our starting QB

Luton easily jumped Plummer tonight unless Tepper is hell bent on having horrible qb play behind Bryce for some sort of optics. Dalton has looked fine all week in warm ups, Canales has just been super fuging fragile with the guys that look remotely ready to play in the NFL

Luton or Plummer we’re fuged either way

If Andy isn’t healthy enough to play next Saturday Bryce will not play either it’s too much of a risk

I once again I guarantee it

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
