Bryce Young faced the least pressure of any quarterback this week

That is what I told my buddy--I said "He's got time--and he still sucks."

I think he should go to IR.  I would tell him that we are going to go with Dalton or we are going to take a look at Plummer and maybe another QB from another practice squad--lets see if Canales can fix Desmond Ridder, for example.  Then I would tell him that we are drafting a QB and he can compete in the 2025 pre season.  He has less than a year to get it together.

But the OL!!!!  I mean they can block and all, but they are too tall!!!!

We signed three big dudes in the middle.  Big mistake.  These guys were available:  munchkins-the-wizard-of-oz-1939-DT6HJW.thumb.jpg.3cb85300a26f7bf13bad77ee6aab1212.jpg

I actually met the one in the middle--he was at Concord Mills--the last living Oz cast member---he was funny as hell--told me the back stories about making the movie.

The OL will eventually allow an Ole` to a pass rusher so Bryce can get a good enough slobber knocker to "allow" an IR excuse.  We should take bets on which one does it.  I'm thinking Moton.

I can tell you that it happens.  In college at practice--I saw our QB get plastered after blaming the center for a bad exchange.  The WRs (prima donnas) are the best group to signal problems in paradise.  It is very frustrating to get open and look back for the ball and the QB is dancing around looking everywhere but downfield.  Thielen showed it, I am thinking Johnson had an episode, and Mingo and Legette are not going to say anything.

I said this during the game yesterday. Fundamentally, and schematically, the offense sans the QB actually looks much better than last year.

But it's hard to do jack poo when you can't push the ball down field.

I told everyone in the ATL Riot - I'll bet them money the offense wakes up and the team becomes competitive once Dalton is inserted.

This is why it's straight up irresponsible to not bench the guy now.  Things are about to get downright bad.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
