For this year? Nothing.

Onto the 2026 draft if it plays out like this.

Agree

he can either play or he cant and cant afford a slow start anymore either   It is tome to fish or cut bait

…and what is more troublesome, to me,…cant continuously game plan around his shortcomings 

And he definitely has them

i hope he performs for the benefit if all but if he is mediocre again, change is needed

All we have to hang our hats on right now is how we supposedly looked in joint practice and even then our head coach Dave Canales himself expressed concern about conditioning.

If you want to say it's a matter of opinion that's fine. But there is enough information to form a conclusion that this team continually looks mediocre or awful in preseason and then looks awful to start the regular season. And that is regardless of who the head coach is. I certainly strongly hope that they flip a switch and suddenly become a competent team in Jacksonville and Arizona. But I wouldn't bet anything of value on that.

You got a whole upcoming season to analyze. Let’s wait for that. No sense doing it now. A lot of people here are just complaining to complain and I understand that is a part of fandom, but annoying.

Hypothetically, if Young shats the bed again, what are the options? Seems to me like we have zero options.  Dalton is washed up and after him, really no one is a NFL caliber QB. The QB room is empty and putting all our chips on Young may become a disaster.

I don't believe he can ever carry the team on his own. God forbid if OLine starters go down. A real concern going into 2025.

I'm willing to give him this year.  If he crashes, then regrouping is needed.

It's good that there are some people out here with basic sense. Unfortunately this is very likely going to be a frequently revisited conversation on the huddle as the season progresses.

I feel like they should leave Bryce out there all year good or bad. That way we have our answer one way or the other about him. If he's bad, we can pick his replacement high and try again

I don’t think we are going to draft another one. Everyone has rookie QB fatigue, Morgan will probably go after whoever the top guy is in the market.

I think that depends more on how high our pick is. If we have the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd pick i think we are drafting a QB rather than shopping FA market for a QB1. Curious if we’d be reluctant to start a rookie QB week 1 though.

It depends on what version of bad we are getting. Can't have the locker room tearing apart over it.

He would be a fool not to draft one.   This should be a good class and it restarts his clock.  Plus what vet free agent do you think is going to move the needle?  

 

I think if Bryce stumbles this year they clear out the qb room and let DC and Dan completely start over.  Thus starting their clocks within the org. 

I guess the big question is, what is their threshold or expectations that they have to see from BY to commit to him moving forward?   And is that in the form of an ext or simply picking up his 5th?

Morgan at this point is just an extension of Tepper. I get the sense the only way they move on from Bryce is if he looks horrific across the bulk of the season and forces their hand. They are dug in on justifying the pick and the trade. They've done everything possible to telegraph that to anyone observing. If they do move on though we should expect a seeking instant results splash type move. That fits the MO so far. That could very well be an FA or a trade. And if we're being honest if all that happened maybe it would be for the best because it would truly drive him how inept this franchise is at developing a young QB across multiple coaching staffs. And the fact is they hired Canales to be a QB whisperer and so far we haven't seen it.

Agreed if Bryce struggles again you let DC draft his QB. There should be several options in this class.

I think it depends where they pick and how well the entire team performs. If the team as a whole looks decent they are more likely to go the veteran QB route. Taking a QB in the first round doesn’t always guarantee more time, ask Frank Reich. 
 

There is always an average or above QB floating around each year. If they can get Arch Manning or something than sure.

You can’t always go off that. The list usually changes as the season plays out because teams have a younger guy they want to invest in and not pay the veteran or you have dipshit owners like Jerry Jones that are unpredictable. Similar to what happened with Cousins, Geno, Alex Smith, etc. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Prescott, Cousins, Murray, or Purdy was available this year.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
