Does Bryce deserve another start?

[strato]

Trade him.

Took him a year and a half, more, to do what he was supposed to do game 1 and that is throw the ball down the field and stretch the defense. 

I feel like he only did it late because he was ordered to. Because it looked like a switch was flipped to me.

Did Bryce show up like Dalton against the Raiders?

Dalton is still the better QB for the development of XL, Coker and JT Sanders. Bryce is still not where he needs to be and doesn't trust the offense like Dalton has.

Canales seems to struggle more on the sideline with Bryce in the game too compared to Dalton.

Compared to last year where Bryce was a sack victim every play, he has improved tremendously in terms of getting the ball out/away and other awareness

There's room for improvement (last weeks clock penalties were horrible ), but he showed some good awareness on the line vs before

It’s also hard to ignore that Dalton stinker against the Commanders

I cannot lie and say he hasn’t looked “better”.

Does that make him an NFL QB?  No.

I wish he could find his way, flip a switch and start balling, but the likelihood of that is next to nil.

People just remember the game with the raiders and have forgotten that Dalton wasnt exactly lighting it up his last few starts, and in fairness he was doing it with Johnson and Thielen for a game.  Bryce has looked fine the last 2 weeks, no reason to bench him.  Just play him and see where this goes.  We're still no more committed to him today than we were yesterday.  He can change that, but who knows.  Best case scenario is that at bare minimum he shows enough to be a game manager and grows enough with Legette, Coker, Sanders, and Brooks, then we focus on talent at other positions to improve our team.  If he never outgrows the game manager role, then its easy enough to just move on from him and atleast have a team built out enough that a QB can plug and play.  If he just sucks ass down the stretch and shows no development, then whatever, draft a QB and move on.

Bryce or Dalton is more of a toss up at this point. What may tilt it in Bryce's favor is maintaining some semblance of consistency within the offense and that Dalton may not even have one good game left in him.

Dalton is clearly better when he is fresh, but the issue is that he is 37 and we could see his arm confidence fall off in real time. I would keep Bryce in until he puts in another inevitable stinker.

 

Next year, we need to sign a younger veteran QB to replace Dalton.

Hopefully he doesn't get the WR's injured with those hospital balls along the way.

The WRs let him down today. Not the other way around. Hey still a W

If/when BY puts up another stinker, I'd rather see Plummer. Dalton is what he is. Maybe Plummer plays better and shows he's worth keeping as a backup QB/flex starter. What do we have to lose at this point?

[emhoward]

For those that think we should trade him. What do you think a good deal would be now?

Prior to the last couple of weeks I would have taken a bag of chips but now I would want at least a 3rd. I mean Darnold went for a 2nd… 

[App Panther]

Yes, for sure. He continues to show improvement compared to earlier this year. This isn't saying much, but we gave up too much for him to not see if this is the beginning of a trend upwards.

I’m anti-Bryce.  He isn’t an NFL QB.  He serves no purpose here.  

that said, for the same reason Canales was right to bench him after week 2….Bryce technically does indeed deserve another start now. 

because Andy was dog poo the weeks leading up to his injury….and Bryce frankly had a decent day.  He had that deep pass dropped for what should have likely been a TD.  Another big one perfect to XL that ended being a INT on XL.  

[raleigh-panther]

Reality is he played a very wounded Saints defense today

…what did I read, 4 cornerbacks out, one being Latimore

He just does not play like a top nfl qb …and I just don’t see it….a few of those flutter balls are picks against a top 15 defense 

….and his bailing from the picket to early (always to the right) and misses his reads

look, I’m extremely happy for the W for the players and the fans however to me Bryce isn’t going to ever be a top qb in the nfl
