I’m starting to wonder if there’s a reason Plummer got all the preseason reps…

Starting to wonder if he knew we were going to have a situation where Andy was the starter and Bryce couldn’t be a credible backup. And to be clear, Bryce is not. Bryce very clearly cannot run the offense. 

Canales could have told Tepper anything he wanted to hear knowing he was going to bench Bryce the first second he could. Canales is a confessed “recovering narcissist,” and Tepper is clearly a mark.

he would have known that Dalton can run any offense you throw at him. It’s not just about physical tools, and of course Andy is on the backside of his career, but knowledge of concepts and coverages and protections. Everyone in the NFL is basically running the same stuff. Bryce clearly does not understand any of these things. 

Canales could have known that Bryce didn’t have the deep ball necessary to make any nfl offense work. And we saw in the first two weeks the saints played cover zero and blitzed every down. We saw the chargers play a tight cover four that Bryce couldn’t do anything with. 

Canales could have prayed to god for guidance. He might have felt guilt about misleading David tepper. He could have prostrated himself like Elijah and asked forgiveness and advice. And god could have appeared to him in human form.

God could have taken his head in his hands and said “dude don’t worry about it Bryce fuging sucks lol.” And Dave would have been like “lmao.”

anyway yeah this is another cut Bryce thread and I’ve earned the right to keep making them blow me. Off the team by Wednesday.

Yeah Plumber was the guy they brought in that wouldn't hurt Bryce's feelings. We can and should do better because he is a PS guy and not a #2.

Basically everybody's #3 looked better than us.  The Patriots had an upgrade for us at #3 and #4.  Bailey Zappe stinks and he has a noodle arm, but he's better than Plummer.

Since we are going there. I have a conspiracy theory. 

Last Preseason, Dalton had an "injury" and only played like 1 or 2 drives. The rest was all Corral and Luton with some Bryce. 

Same thing this year, it was all Plummer, some Luton, and 1 drive of Bryce. 

I think Dalton has intentionally not been given much exposure to hide how bad Bryce actually is. 

But you mention week 3 last year against Seattle? I think that was either unplanned (Bryce was actually hurt) or it was an attempt by Reich to give Bryce a chance to get his bearings together and it backfired because Dalton ran the offense well.

I would take Zappe as a back up to Dalton. Especially if we keep running the ball well. 

I think if something happens to Andy they will either go get Wilson or sign Tannehill though. especially if the plan is to stay competitive through the season.

Canales knew from the start that Bryce was garbage. He told Tepper that he would do his best to make him a viable NFL QB knowing that he would bench him ASAP. He's not dumb, he has seen and coached high level QBs for years.

Basically my take too. There is no way a real NFL guy can buy into what Bryce offers, if they do they're going down with the ship. 

I think this happened mostly after he got in and assessed his position. He saw the path out of the dilemma. 

A big selling point for me was I liked what I heard from him and the rep he was getting fit like a glove if were to move on from Bryce. Head us back in the right direction.

Which is still my hope.

I had no faith in Young, I tried but could only rationalize him being good to a point and would just hit a wall before I could get to where it needed to be. That passing chart made after the Chargers is a good illustration of where the wall was.

Go get Tannehill as backup for Dalton and move on

not optimum but cheap and moderately reliable 

I swear….even Bo Nix is serviceable. Why in god”s name they gave away so much for a midget, I just don’t get it 

some franchises know how to draft or rehabilitate QBs and some don’t 

…but combine  it with having that with a physical outlier and here we are

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
