You cannot start Bryce Young again. He is not an NFL player.

Guaranteed if we started the Red Rifle week 2 just like last year the O is more functional.  And Dalton is trash. 

I said that last year, but the Huddle opted to develop Bryce over being competitive and winning some games.  On the bright side, we now know Bryce is trash too.  Nothing further to develop and time to cut bait.  Oh boy, only 17 more weeks of Panthers misery.  Hooray!!!!

I was a Bryce believer all off-season. But he literally looks no better at all than last year. Still badly misses throws more often than not. For an alleged superprocessor he looks lost out there. He was protected better today than he was last year and he still looked godawful. It is obvious his size is a detriment. We know what he is now and he is not a starting QB. I’m not sure he is even good enough to be a decent backup.

The dude is absolutely terrified. It's kind of sad to watch, I feel bad for the kid. This franchise squashed everything he ever knew about football.

He's a multi-millionaire.

Why would you feel bad for him? He's literally stealing a living and is set up for life.

I don’t feel bad for him one bit, he’s making more this year alone than I’ll ever make. He’s playing a sport for a living. Dudes got it made

At some point you have to bench the guy. You lose credibility in the locker room if you don't. Hell, we might already be there. This team played like a team that knew they had no opportunity to compete today.

This result has been coming all offseason.

They doubled down on the QB that most saw couldn't compete at this level and stripped the defence (which was already a poor unit - Evero just worked miracles) to do it.

Now you have a lot of money / Draft picks invested in the OLine / RB / WR rooms and nothing left over for the defence.

The Saints moved the ball at will today and they're far from the best offence we'll play this season. It's going to be a blood bath.

Yeah, we spent a LOT of money on guards to put in front of Bryce.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
