He played just to get his today.  Then sat.   That ain’t being that dude IMO.   Team had 20 pass yards in the second half.   That’s hanging the rest that helped him get his out to dry.  Just not by preference.  Just don’t play then. 

If anything, it boosted his stock more. With him they were great 1st half, 31 points, 3 TDS  after the fumble to start the game.  then 10 points in the 2nd with williams. 

Oh and the guy that helped him all year at wr sat so.... Yeah Ward just makes plays. Kinda that guy that lifts everyone but that's taboo here ATM with the last guy said was going to be that style QB.

I get it he didn't play the full game and got his stats and sat. Good. If he got hurt, it's millions it cost him. That record may stand a while regardless of how he does in the pros. He made it through with the record and not getting hurt, that's a W.

Don’t disagree it likely helps his stock.  I just don’t like business decision football.  Play or don’t play.  I don’t care for half in to get yours football.  That’s just me.  

And I also just dislike these Bowl games for reasons just like that.  Cancel all these bowl games then.  Add Miami to list of why.  Already a billion reasons why they shouldn’t be played.  It’s money over football should be.

    • 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.
