So let me get this straight - they brought in ZERO competition for Young this offseason and have benched him after two games?

This franchise, I fuging swear to god. 

It looks that way. It appears the FO had more faith in Young than even I did. I was hoping for a miracle even though I knew better. But had it been my decision I certainly would have gotten a better plan b.

The new coaching staff is irrelevant. He has played worse than a high school QB. The heavily invested in OL has been giving him time to make plays and he has been getting himself sacked or throwing it to the other team whenever he attempts anything other than a screen.

They didn't need competition; we have one of the better backup QBs in the NFL. Unless they were going to take a QB in the 1st round there was no point in drafting some 3rd round half-measure.

this is what i mean when i reference the Alabama qb propaganda poo.

bringing the family (those close to him) into the story about being benched is a college move. this is something you do like praying hard, speaking to close advisors, etc before you enter the transfer portal. this matters in college football because coaches have to sell the families of recruits, not just the player.

in the nfl, no one gives a hot gay fug what your parents. you're a grown as man now dude, you've got millions in the bank, no one gives a poo if you're mom is upset.

my fuging god

Hard to feel inspired on D when you know the offense is historically bad.

Hard to play a strong defensive game when you're on the field all the time. Carolina has converted 2 3rd downs in their last two games. And as you pointed out, how can you give it your all for the entire game when you know once the other team scores more than 10 points you have no chance of winning?

There is no quarterback worthy of a Top 3 or 4 pick in this class anyway. 
 

People keep talking about Ewers but he’s not getting his job back and he likely transfers to finish his college career at Miami or something under Shannon Dawson’s air raid. 
 

Beck plays on the most talented team in the country and still manages to look average. 
 

Sanders looks good, has good mobility, consistency, precision, and arm strength and may be the only one I’d consider taking high. 
 

I also think Kyle McCord will rocket up draft boards in the offseason. He’s a pro typical dude that had enough of the Ohio State nonsense. Michigan was otherworldly the last two years and he was treated like garbage. 

I don’t want to take a QB in this draft, I want the #1 pick so we can hopefully trade back 5 spots or so and pick up additional draft assets to fill all those holes

    • 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
