What would a successful game for Young look like?

positive yardage and points on the board while we are still in it. 

limited 3 and outs. extend a few drives and give the D a chance to rest. those guys could use all the help they can get. 

bar really isn't set that high. wouldn't have to be that high for him to bounce backwards off it, though. 

what we saw when he entered the game last week is what i expect to see this week.

and by "what i expect to see" i don't mean i will actually be watching the game. i've got no desire to watch that team this year, especially with him at QB.

Disagree.   They aren't looking out of Bryce Young at this point.  It's the NFL.  Dave Canales is looking out of Dave Canales at this point.  That's how this thing works. 

That what he should be doing. Bryce has already got one coach fired. Canales would have been a damn fool to ride his HC tenure on bryce. He gave bryce a shot and when he tanked he made a change. He has 50 other guys to manage, his job was never just to take care of bryce.

He needs a W. However we get it. 

Our defense isn't able to stop anyone, so it will have to ride on the offense purely.

If it means short range passes and a heavy rushing attack, then so be it. Show that he can at least lead that. If it means opening things up and heaving it down the field as far as possible then so be it.

The team's got to get a W for anyone to even slightly take him seriously anymore.

I don't want to see a middling performance, even though that would be improvement. If he throws for 200 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT? Meh. Just enough for the staff/Tepper to trick themselves into trying to salvage him. 

 

I either want 300 yards, 2-3 TDs, no INTs, and a win...or the worst QB play I've ever seen in my life. Definitive answer on how he bounces back...not a "well, maybeeee".

The most successful: W and he is able to pick apart the Denver D and make plays left and right.  Looks like the BY from Alabama.

Really successful: W

Modestly Successful: keeps us in it, but we lose.  He shows signs of things clicking and good decision making but the lack of practice time leaves a lot of rust.

What I expect: a big ole L and another poo the bed from Bryce.  If he's better than that, great!  But otherwise, I expect the same as usual.

I don't care if he throws 5-6 picks. Just show some urgency, some gumption, some fire. Play pissed off with a chip on his shoulder. Take some chances downfield; play with a gunslinger mentality. Make some positive plays to put up against the negative ones. Put some stuff on film that can build some confidence.

Denver's defense is good. I don't expect Bryce will have a great game, but the one thing I don't want to see is the deer in headlights we saw weeks 1 and 2.

    • Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away. 
    • Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did. 
    • 100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
