I will only say that Lewis was MIA a lot so what was the big progress they were going to make? They simply didn’t have the starting OL together until the damned opener. Not happy about at all but what can you do?

Because 1 of them isn't available the other 4 can't work together? Nah. It wasn't just the OL though - not playing the starters at all appeared to be a mistake from the start and yesterday's performance sure supports that opinion.

Doesn't matter at this point though. The bar has been set and we'll see if Canales can get the trendline pointing up from here.

I guess my point is, preseason wasn't going to do it to the degree it needs doing. Whether or not they got their time in preseason, it was going to extend into the season and for much of it. 

I guess I am falling behind, because the truisms that were held by about everyone don't seem to be holding. Such as, it takes time to judge young WRs, OLs need reps as a unit for continuity, two examples. 

I am not sure how much was lost, but if you will accept that I accept we lost something... just less than what you think... we can move on.

All fair, and to use your foundation my point is/was that the staff being amenable to losing any progress at all in this manner given the circumstances is unfortunate.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By NAS · Posted

      I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.

      To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.

      If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
