Hot Take: This team will never get over the hump, until we move on from Bryce.

We heavily hamstrung our ability to build a team by trading a ton of draft capital and a legit starting WR to draft Bryce.

True and Bryce didn’t make that decision for us.  No QB was worth that trade, not even Stroud

Not really a hot take. Most of us aren't sold on Bryce 

Worst case he improves just enough to stay on a couple more years, setting us back another 3-5

I don't care if he stays through his contract, I just don't think he'll be worth however much a 4+ year contract will cost

I'm not convinced BY can win us games consistently against good competition... But he's gotten to a point where he isn't usually the reason we lose, and had a nice stretch of keeping us competitive.  So... Let's keep building the team (especially defense), not reach for a QB but if we get someone in the later rounds the coaches like, keep adding to the QB room and have a bit of competition in camp. 

I think this is the best explanation. If he isn’t playing like absolute doodoo the team still needs to get better anyway. Might as well roll with Bryce Young until the rest of the team gets better.

Well there goes my comparisons to second year Joe burrow 

That's approved. Now compare their weapons. That was the original discussion. Cam did more with less weapons around him.

I strongly disagree.

We're playoff bound next year.

Sounds like a historically abysmal division.

Defense taking that much of a step up huh

Bryce going to hit puberty and then it's game on...

[rayzor]

OP isn't really a hot take. Pretty lazy and boring. Takes no guts.

The last few seasons we've seen unprecedented Qb play. Allen, Jackson,  MaHomes, Burrow to name few. We move up to 1# to pick a micro Teddy Bridgewater. Burrow had at least 250 yards and 3 Tds the last 8 games ,and over 400 tonight.  Y'all get giddy if Bryce throws over 100 yards.  This is unacceptable in today's NFL.  

Face the facts, we need to move 

We need to look beyond Bryce...yes.

Get over the hump? This team need to make the playoffs first. 
 

This thread is dumb as hell.
