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

I mean, I conceded earlier this year he is the dude next year.  I'll root for him to keep improving.  But some of the hot takes on him just go too far not to come out against them.  

I'm not lobbying for a new QB.  I want a new D.   Well, I might be open to replacing Dalton with a slightly younger version.  

Those hot takes go both ways my friend. There are extreme exaggerations on both sides of the debate.

Folks essentially are forced into "knocking" Bryce Young because people just getting silly with it IMO.  Bryce has made improvement most of didn't see coming.  Bryce still isn't a very good QB.  

tbh this is the duality that is keeping the board active

One side believes that Bryce is getting too much credit, another believes that Bryce is getting too much hate, and then there's a side that just wants to know beyond a shadow of a doubt whether or not he's the guy.

The back and forth between the first two provides reading material for the latter's bathroom trips.

The alternative is you understand Bryce isn't the future AND that this team isn't a QB away from contending anyways.

You trade Bryce for whatever the best offer is for him this offseason then go and sign someone like Jameis or Wentz this offseason to be the starter next year.  Both are going to end up costing your team wins, it's they're not starters anymore, but they both have big arms and aren't afraid to sling the rock.

It will help our young offensive weapons grow as they'll get tons of targets from all sorts of routes, but yes, they're likely to cause us to lose a lot of games, which is fine as it's a QB loaded draft next year, where we then draft a QB with our 1st rounder.

Fans won't like it next year while we're losing, but the reality of the situation is that it's the fastest way to get us back on the right track towards having a contending team again.  If we luck out and get the #1 pick and get Manning, then we could have a really bright future too.

What routes are they throwing Bryce isn’t rn? Develop leggette who’s already getting 8 targets a game he can’t do anything with? Or the UDFA possession receiver who runs a 4.6?

Bryce just threw a seam shot touchdown on the edge of the red zone then threw a 45 yard dime of a deep ball for a touchdown. And you’re still acting like he’s Teddy two gloves

Yeah, but see....those random throws don't make him not Teddy two gloves.  Because Teddy two gloves had those random throws too that went against his norm. 

I think if Bryce turned into Teddy B the passer....we should be happy.  Not mad.  Because Bryce adds to that a better aspect with his slipperiness and legs.

We also threw Teddy in the trash after one season. Yet we are hoping this guy may one day reach his level.

Good comparison though. On a good day, Young looks like 2020 Teddy Bridgewater.

we threw Teddy in the trash ONLY because was the first to pry the door open to the dysfunctional world of Matt Rhule.    Teddy allowed the O to function.  And pretty well. Tons of guys had career years that season.  Pretty good ball between the 20s.  Team just wasn't doing so many of the basics in practice to finish the job on the field.  Like actually working on the redzone and stuff like that.  

Matt Rhule didn't like the fact Teddy outed he was bad at his job.  Teddy got fired for that.  Not his play.

Okay so if Bryce=Teddy Bridgewater. 

Do we pick up his 5th year option and extend that for QB1 money?

Or do we take a few day 2 and day 3 picks and cut our losses?

Or if you look beyond yard totals and completion % you’ll see Tedward could throw 41/49 passes under 8 yards downfield and get 300.

Those 3700 yards look a little different to you yet?

Depends.  I say you would have to start drafting a QB again.   Would the timeline say you need Bryce for another season to slow walk someone in? Maybe.  

everyone ultimately wants a special QB.  That’s football at this level.

    • Bad teams with new coaches that want to make a splash with big passing games kill young QBs. Solid teams that can lean on the run and play-action give a chance for QBs fresh out of college to grow and learn how to dictate a game. A lot of these guys, and maybe even Bryce, aren't horrible but they are being asked to go in and be something unrealistic. They are expected to be able to put out raging dumpster fires after being handed a bucket and being told to go find some water.  And I think we see some of these guys who were labeled as busts eventually developing into serviceable, sometimes decent, sometimes quite good QBs when they land at a well-built team with good coaching and a solid identity. Mayfield, and Darnold are two that come to mind right now. And the two Joneses are certainly showing more in Indy and San Fran than they'd ever really shown before. But we're a shoddily built team that has been weakly coached into a softer style of football that puts crazy amounts of pressure on young QBs. Heck, even Andy Dalton with his experience really couldn't sustain any results here.   
    • 1. Charlotte has been very good to Smitty and his comment is out of line.  2. XL is Smitty, just 180 degrees out of phase. He is the quintessential anti-Smith. Give 89 the ball and he will win a game for you. His high gear was terrifying and he was fearless. He was the bully on every snap he ever played here.  XL is Mr alligator arms who lives in fear of contact. He gets boxed out by guys he outweighs by 40 pounds and looks generally clueless.  Why he has chosen to defend someone he would have BBQ’ed as a teammate stumps me. 
    • Fake outrage from an entertainer... And yes he would have absolutely chewed him out on the field for that kind play.
