Bryce contingency plan?

As the adage goes "the defining of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again". We have had 2 years of Bryce & Andy as plan A & B. Time to change one or both. Salary cap & draft assets may restrict changing plan A, but plan B can be changed much more easily. IMO, They need to add a plan C in the form of drafting a QB in the 2nd or 3rd, with the intent to let him sit & learn & get into NFL shape for a year or at least 8-10 games.

This list also says that drafting a QB in the first round and playing him early doesn't work anymore. 6 out of 10 were 1st round picks with the last few years. Jones is the oldest one but he started his first season too I think. 

So, probably drafting another 1 this season doesn't change anything for us for several seasons. No matter who is. 

Yes getting any qb at all thats good is a crap shoot.  We could get lucky get a stroud or a nix.  But what the other take away is rarely do any of the qbs get better.  Well excpt for darnold and mayfield

I'm coming to the point of believing he deserves another year to try and show he can be a starter. Not quite there yet, but leaning in that direction.

Still, I'd prefer to have a capable veteran backup.

The problem is that if a qb is capable he usually starting. Backups are backups for a reason.

We are in a multi-year rebuild. Let Bryce play out and grab a CB this year in the draft.

I'm sorry but how is this not obvious to anyone? This is exactly what everyone should be thinking. How the heck does Reddit have way more people that know what's going on compared to here? I hate Reddit. Anyone who says Bryce is not the quarterback (if healthy) during a few year rebuild must get out or go to my re-education football camp to learn what football is. 2 months at least. The football IQ has completely plummeted. 

While I'm gone Happy Panther is in charge because he is by far the smartest here so far and refuse to read anymore comments from these parrots. Thank you Happy Panther for having what we call at camp..."Tepper Telligence". Anyone saying new quarterback...I'll see you tomorrow morning at 7:00am. Tepper out...

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
