Carr is probably back next week but how bad was Rattler to get benched?

I am looking at that game now just starting. And only posting because man the NFL has really fuged things up. A safety no longer is a free kick like it used to be it is some bastardization of these new kickoff rules. 

You young guys don't know what you missed out on.

Okay I made it until Haener (sp?) came in. Didn't watch him but don't see how he could do much better with what he is working within.

Rattler was taken where Bryce should have been taken. Further, it seems clear to me that if you had put Bryce on South Carolina he'd have been lucky to have been drafted at all. 

They are some combination of our 2023 and 2024 OL. Mostly 2023. They are a train wreck.

Just, very little protection, lots of pressure, chaos, plenty of behind the sticks because someone held or did a FS or something. Or just couldn't keep the defense from overrunning the play. 

A lot of designed rollout to preemptively escape the pressure (which I sort of really don't like having to do). 

I'd take what I saw over Young all day long.

Don't know if I would take Rattler, but I agree with you about Young. If he played for Duke or Wake or Northwestern, he might have been a UDFA.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
