Bryce and the Dawg mentality

It's something he and Jake both had in common. They had so much energy in the huddle and actually drove their teammates to play better.

They were so different all the way around, but they both had that.

I laughed at Jake's accent, and laughed at some of Cam's malaprops. Like, the Lion on Safari. What? Cam, lions don't go on safaris.

To be fair Dan and Dave were saddled with him.   No one in the building thinks Bryce has the dawg mentality. Except his weird dad I guess. 

To be really fair….Canales was saddled with him. 

Dan Morgan could have just as easily been 100% part of the Bryce sales job as he could have been opposed to it.   To me it’s similar denialism we used when we blamed Rhule for  Fitterer being bad and that he was actually good.  He was never good.  And we have no actual evidence Dan was against Bryce.  I doubt Fitterer won the Bryce war with literally everyone against the move.

Bryce seems pretty much 'silver spoon' to me. Privileged. Like, yep he had the good table manners to go with it. 

That isn't something I would really hold against him. But I see it.

He also is one of those kids that basically only played on super squads.  Transferred in high school to play on a super team.  Went to college and played on a super team.    To an extent, playing on a super team doesn’t require a superstar QB….requires a certain level of play to allow that freaks to be freaks around you.   See basically all Saban’s QBs.  Basically for over a decade they all were just good college QBs.   None ever went to the NFL and were great QBs when the playing field leveled out.

  • I was out for a power walk yesterday and I bumped into a neighbor who graduated from Ohio State (he lives beside a Penn State graduate, so I have fun with that).  He reminded me about the draft, "I remember you telling me that the Panthers need to draft Stroud but they were leaning Young.  I know you must be really pissed off right now."  I told him, "We are the only NFL team in the league that takes a juice box out to the huddle during time outs.  ...He is too short to ride 30% of the rides at Carowinds...he has one chicken wing for dinner...When he breaks a team rule he is not fined, but he is grounded.

You held that in a long time didn't you?

Making him the starter without earning it.

Making him a captain while being one of the worst players and non vocal players on the team.

Sitting him out the pre season.

Bryce has never had to show his dawg mentality,  just like he hasn't had to do it threw his whole football career. He has never been in a situation where everything isnt already great around him, on the field and off. So Asking him to uplift things is just asking too much. 

 

 

The Captains are determined by player vote.

They mentioned that on the charlotte  sports radio podcast. Bryce has been on a superteam his whole football career. He's never had to elevate anybody around him. 

Expecting him to do it finally when he get in the pros is just asking too much.

Yep,  they all elevated him.  Bama has never had QB play elevated those around them.   It’s pretty consistent.

It’s funny because that was the narrative on Stroud at Ohio State, that his receivers were wide open and made him look good.

True, but they mounted up of their free will.

It would be great learn about any discussion about contingency plans during the hiring process. If Canales has that positive a mindset would he even go there? 

At some point there had to be "what I'd do for Bryce to get him well" like what he needs etc. I hope they had a plan B agreed on. 

I see it as a positive in that they knew they were signing up for a multiple year rebuild.  The Brooks pick is proof of that. 

I don't have proof of this but I do believe they both also came in knowing that year 2 would be identifying the QB of the future.

    • I still contend no well run team would have him on the roster next year.  You got to move on from him.  And you can't put the #1 overall pick, 3 year starter as the backup...that creates horrific in house dynamics. 
    • I do think there is a win/lose aspect he is presently in with his QB situation.   Let's say he does some really good Steve Wilks play ugly to win coaching......with a really ugly game plan beats SF (which we could have), gets New Orleans, and a Tampa game.  Completely minimizes Bryce Young.  well, that would have put him at 9-8 on the season.   And then......Bryce Young is going nowhere.  Maybe Morgan replaces Dalton but the Bryce conundrum gets even worse.  Now you go that 5th year.  and we know Bryce is going to get unfair credit.  He already gets absurd credit for anything that goes okay.  you are to an extent damned if you do if you are Canales IMO.   I want them all gone.  I just don't think Tepper can get the hire.  I think the only way Tepper can get a good hire....is to give a decent coach way more power than Tepper would like.  
    • As a general optimist who tries to be even handed, I was in the “I have hope” but it’s now gone category.  I acknowledged that the bad games were more frequent than the OK ones which were in turn more frequent than the good ones. I just held out hope that he could put things together and more consistently perform at those mid and higher levels. But I’m off that train now. I think he can probably improve his consistency a bit from where he is, but it’ll never be good enough. He’s on the roster next year because he’s under contract, but I don’t think we should pick up his 5th year option and definitely not extend him. He may start next year too because there genuinely are not as many competent QBs as there are starting spots in the league, so the alternatives are all trash. But we’ve got to get fresh blood in the QB room and find our next starter.
