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 doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.  
    • Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.
    • A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
