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

And if Bryce is healthy he is the starting quarterback. That's almost as scary.

I'm mostly kidding. Mostly.

Good:

-Leota, Jamison, TJ Smith, and Matthews. Cook wasn’t bad either.

-Defense was very sound and disciplined. 
 

- Offensive concepts were vague because of preseason but better than Franks. The execution just wasn’t there. 
 

Bad

-Everyone on the OL except sometimes Christensen.

-The WRs dropping balls, falling down, just awful.

-Penalties on offense.
 

I don’t know if Plummer was that bad or if all the drops and running for his life amplified it. Had a few of those drops been caught it may have offered better perception.

We need to bring in a QB who can push and has the capability of replacing Bryce, not back him up. He needs a fire lit under him. 

He was way too comfortable not playing tonight, but that's just been his demeanor since he been here.

Don’t suggest things that make sense, this franchise only does things to make the team worse.

My bad on that post. Had high hopes that maybe something positive could happen for this team. Obviously not.

There is nothing to apologize for,  you lose nothing hoping to see something from a guy that wasnt even drafted. If he didn't show out playing with 2nd and third stringers then the undrafted status was justified.

It's preseason. I can't believe people even pay to go.

A second year guy who did nothing last year and needs all the reps he can get in a new offense with new pieces around him. Most other legit starting qbs in the league are playing this week....just pre season tho.

Defense looked solid as expected with Evero. 
 

Matthews looked solid at TE. Everyone else on offense was trash and god help us if the starter gets injured and they have to play. 

Sanders, the rookie TE, looked good blocking on a couple of plays- sealed the edge on a run. If our TEs and RBs can help in pass pro it’ll make a big difference later.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
