Sorry for anyone wanting camp competition.

The position has been filled.

 

Would be great if they know what they're doing, but competition is what brought him around this time. Hopefully their chosen course of action, whatever that ends up being, continues this trajectory.

True.  I wonder if Dalton reworks his contract to stay or if we bring in another guy?  The worst thing we could do is have a warm body backup just for sake of having a backup.

The kid has earned it.  In no uncertain terms. He earned it.  Proud of the kid for turning it around.  I was done with him, but slowly he won me back.  I want him to keep improving.  He looks like he can play this game at the highest level.  Go be special.

I would keep Dalton if possible. I think he and Bryce have a good relationship and Dalton is one of the more capable backup QB's in the league.

I'm pleasantly surprised.

He was on the verge of getting fully Carr'd and stepped up after taking back the starting job.  He still has limitations that show at times, but he did a lot to be our guy for 2025.  Not only did he look good down the stretch, it looked like he was having fun out there doing it.  That wasn't the case for an iota of last season. 

Good on him.  

Reich's team already feels like it was 5 years ago.

Young finished strong, and so he's the guy. Not shocking. We build up the defense and hope for the best next season.

I don't really envision winning a SB with Young in the long run, but at this point I just want to watch mostly competitive games. Make it interesting and give us a shot at making the playoffs most seasons. I think that's realistic with Young moving forward, and if not then we can move on to a new QB.

I like Dalton and I agree he's good for Bryce and the team, but at 38 this year, he's a short term rental.  I'm not gonna lie, I still have curiosity about Trey Lance.

If I was Dalton, I would resign to be a backup and hold a clipboard. Dude is collecting checks telling Bryce that he is doing a good job and practicing football M-F, who wouldn't want that dream job?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
