I think we end up closer to 10

We very well could end up splitting with the Bucs due to their injuries, beating the Cowboys and Arizona seems to really struggle when travelling all the way to Charlotte. Atlanta could end up resting all their starters the last week too

Even 2 more wins combined with all the bad teams this year puts us way back. Some of those bad teams do still play each other but unless we lose out (I doubt that happens) we’re going to be closer to 10

Regardless, I'll probably rather go defense first, then pick a second round QB, like Ewers, even if we have to trade a few spots to get the top second round qb.

If Young’s as bad as everybody says he is then yeah, it is plausible. 

We have some divisional games and also Dallas, who may have a worse QB situation.

We are also considerably higher in SOS so we lose most tie breakers.

Even if Bryce started stinking it up, we would likely just switch back to Dalton.

I agree on most of this but Arizona is a REALLY bad matchup for us. A bruising running game and very mobile QB. That is perfectly made to march all over our defense.

This is one of the tighest races for the bottom I have seen in a while.

Sign a veteran bridge QB (or re-sign Andy for this role).

 

Draft Cam Ward.

 

Let bridge QB start and Cam sit and learn for a bit.

 

Profit.

I agree on Ward. But at this point it is a nonstarter to consider keeping Dalton. He has been only marginally better than Bryce Young and those two stinkers against the Bears and Commanders are why we were one of the only teams to seek out his services. Need to look elsewhere.

Horn is an elite CB. Fields will be on his third team in five years next season.

We got one of the worst defenses in the leagues with Horn. A QB is always better value than a corner. And look at the Bears it’s not like Caleb is lighting it up with even more help.
 

He played winning football and has shown far more flashes than Bryce. 
 

I wanted him then and he’s the best path forward still today.

Yeah I'd rather keep Dalton, fields can't see the field or make good decisions

Fields is the play and it’s been the play since we drafted Horn over him. Sign him. 

Having Fields would just put us in QB purgatory. Not good enough to win in the playoffs, not bad enough to draft high enough to get a QB. Fields is literally the worst possible scenario. Give me another season of Young over Fields

Talk about purgatory.

You're blaming Jaycee Horn because we gutted the defense to reallocate significant resources to the offense in order to attempt to make Bryce Young look like a real QB?

Yeah Fields is what he is. He’ll never be the type to pick apart a defense but he can run like hell and throw a very pretty deep ball. 

You can work with that. Doubt it’ll win you a superbowl but it could probably get you to the playoffs pending the rest of the roster

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
