We have a franchise QB

Suck a dick man. Enjoy the win and the fact we have a qb have 5 TDs. Last Qb of ours to do that was CaMVP. 

Hope those 5 TDs keep you all nice and warm and fuzzy inside 2 years from now when we're finishing up yet another losing season for however many years in a row it will be by then and complaining that we're going to either overpay Bryce or need a new QB again

Bro no. Bridgewater never had Bryce’s accuracy, mobility, or clutch factor. Teddy was a stat padder and check down coward that never pushed the ball down field. Horrible comparison.

He might have had a boost from Payton in NO with the officiating bias down there but he can’t touch Bryce’s jock strap. 

Think what you like, it's a moot point until next year anyway. I hope that Carolina continues to keep competition for Bryce, as that seems to have been a motivator for him this year. Don't fix what isn't broken.

I'm still nervous about saying that, but yeah there's an argument to be made...

Dave C gets another reference for being a QB whisperer

*** that.  A franchise just changed course today. It’s worth being a boss. 

No boss on an internet.   This franchise has been changing course.

Yea!!!!  We won yet another meaningless end of season game that hurt our ability to draft a better player next year.

Honestly, we do this every single fuging year and the fans somehow never learn.  How many times do we have to do this before the fans start to realize it's a vicious cycle that you can't break until you embrace a rebuild?

Again, 2 OTs just dropped us from 1st to 8th in the draft.  Which in the end, probably cost us an additional 1st round pick, maybe a 2nd First, and probably a couple of other middle round picks as well as we'd have been able to trade back.

In no world is that worth the 2 wins that do nothing but provide a temporary enjoyment for those too shortsighted to see how it's not a good thing for us.

One too many beers today? Building a winning tradition is just as important as the #1 pick. We will do fine with the 8th pick. Just look at the first two games of this season and how we played then and how we played today. Atlanta lost more than we did.

Dude bridgewater never had a game half as good as this. Bryce took this game over, he wasn't game managing.

Actually, Bridgewater did have a 5 TD game like this in his 2nd season as he led the Vikings to the playoffs.

Then he had a season ending injury before his 3rd season began. That was the end of his career as a starter. Bryce Young is still behind what Bridgewater did in his first 2 seasons.

Getting the 1st pick probably would have actually meant we got about the 5th pick, a 2026 1st, another couple picks in the 2-4 rounds, and possibly even a 2027 1st as well.

But sure, these two OT wins and the 8th pick will help us win games 3 years from now more than all of those draft assets would have

Yeah I'm still not totally convinced. But one thing is certain.. He's the qb next year

The same would have been true short of a train wreck performance today.  The past few weeks earned him that right.

Yeah and I really want him to be our franchise qb cuz it's the best thing for the team. Get him another legit weapon and another offseason in the system and let's go

Would have to be an idiot to think otherwise

This. It would be insanely funny if this the game that reverts him back to the bryce prior to the benching. I know the bryce backers want to kick their feet up for the next 8 months but Canales would be insanely careless to not continue to push bryce till next season. He has got to do everything to make sure we don't start the season off like we did again. He's on his way to being a great coach if he can do that.
