I agree but I still think Purdy is just a good game manager with a more talented roster. We just haven’t as a good draft in half a decade. Maybe we finally had one.  You can be a playoff team with talented roster and game manager. 

Eh, while Bryce probably had his best day as a pro, there's still some things I doubt he could replicate every week...like throwing the ball up for grabs that lead to two PIs which kept drives alive.  He had two really good throws today, one to Moore for a first down and the other Leggette dropped.  Again, he's taking better care of the ball and that unto itself is a drastic improvement.

He played better than what his average had been for the season which had been one of the worst qualified passers. There's nowhere to go but up from rock bottom. Credit to him for improving from that. But we still need to blow up this QB room and have a legitimate competition next year. If we want to truly take a step out of the cellar and become a serious franchise that's the only path forward.

Absolutely. Don’t anoint anyone as anything. Make em earn it.  It’s always a competition!

Credit to Canales. Last year this would've been a blowout loss, we came back down multiple scores to tie it late and only lost by a last second FG drive from the best QB ever.

Last year. Shiddd earlier in the season. Have to remember we’re watching to see canales progress as well. He is a rookie.

Y'all still haven't bought in on Bryce? I get it. But he's shown improvement every game since coming back. He can still be the guy. And if Tremble catches that TD, Carolina beats KC.

We bought in after Green Bay.

Right now Bryce just needs to focus on finishing the season on a high note. If he plays well good we will have a competition in camp. But no matter how the rest of the season goes that is what we must do. We cannot for a third season in a row hand anyone the keys and expect good things. What's that saying about repeating the same thing over and over expecting different results? Yeah.

Got plenty of time to continue improvement. 
I just hope this game didn’t take everything out of the players and we go into the Bucs game playing flat and exhausted. 
This definitely took a lot out of them.

Yup. Bryce will likely play us out of position to draft a better QB prospect if he plays the rest of the season this well, but we will want to bring someone in from FA.

Had an awesome deep ball to Legette on the first drive, too. Probably Young's most impressive game, all things considered.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
