Bryce plays better every game and finishes with decent stats and a few wins? Doesn't have to set records, just keep improving. 

DJ Wonnum is back to being healthy at DE and helps generates pressure and a few sacks with Clowney?

Adam comes back as the slot receiver and between him Coker and X, they start getting around 300+ yards as a group per game?

What if JT Sanders is the real deal and is developing into a top 10 TE?

What if MLB Wallace is a more than solid player in the mold of a Dan Morgan?

What happens if Brooks is a great 1-2 punch with Chuba and they average well over 100 yards per game?

What happens in Horns stays healthy and we have a true shut down corner?

What is the O-line continues it's dominance?

4 wins or 6 wins, maybe even 7, doesn't matter. The team shows improvement and plays like a team and it was injuries and a new mentality needed by the team and HC to turn this around. Would you be supportive? Still negative (same old Panthers)? 

Looks like to me we had a turn around year to be positive about and few more add ons (draft & FA) and this team could at least compete for the playoffs in 2026. Health is #1 and having a system in place for a 2nd year would be huge. No matter how the year finishes, those points are what I'm rooting for. 

 

What happens when you wake up?

Bryce playing just good enough to give the team enough hope to roll with him again next year is the worst possible scenario.

My biggest fear, especially if we don't bring in another qb as well to atleast push him. These fans really want to ride whole new year on his shoulders. Absolute delusion.

A lot of fans would be relieved, but there are a few (especially here on the Huddle) that would probably set their scooters on fire if the team has any success with Bryce as the QB.

I mean it all depends how you define success...winning a game against a 2 or 3 win team? Bryce only throwing around 150 yds with one TD on average and less interceptions? Is that successful? It sounds baby steps. We are still far away from the point where we are actually capable of beating good teams or expecting Bryce to play well against a team thats actually good. I mean Fans were actually upset he had to go against a team with a good defense 2 weeks ago. It's still nothing to be that enthusiastic about.

If Bryce plays good we either give him another year and keep building OR get a decent pick for him the better he plays. Would you take Sam Darnold back? Or someone like him? I think taking a QB with a high draft pick is a possibly another 2 year set back if it doesn't work out. Next year they can be competitive and really be rolling by 2026 with the right moves.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
