The definite downside to riding out the season with Bryce Young is these other young players waste a pivotal season of much needed development.

At this point I think you have to try to give them some reps with Dalton.

That's a very good point and thinking about it that way I have to agree with you we

I thought he flashed, ran a good route against lattimore and caused him to hurt his hamstring trying to play catch up after getting burnt. but idk if it was a flash or I was jaded by the fact we were moving the football forward lol

Yeah I realize I'm over excited and it's probably just because of how badly everything else was and me finally coming to terms today that I don't think even with a little O-line help that Bryce is an NFL QB so I'm grasping for straws here

I still really like XL and our draft class as a whole.  Unfortunately the cupboard is mostly bare otherwise  

Agreed and huge problem. I also don't know how any of our receivers can shine or have a chance to even if we have guys that can get open this season with the level of QB play I saw today.

Hell even the coach needs reps as a play caller with someone who can complete passes. Every drive can't be DOA if you want the team as a whole to experience any growth of identity whatsoever

Hell give them some reps with anyone.....any number of practice squad guys could put a better product on the field than whatever garbage we saw today.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
