It’s like everyone forgets, Canales got Tepper to green light ending the Bryce Young experiment just 2 games into the season.  THAT happened.  And I still say all the investments on O have been one that doesn’t factor in Young.

Bryce’s rise from the literal grave….wasn’t planned or the vision IMO.  Bryce IMO fugged up the plan.   Now we are in no man’s land 

If this is the case, which I don't completely rule out, I wonder how Canales plans on navigating this mess of convincing Tepper we have to move on from Bryce while not getting himself canned in the process? Quite the tightrope to walk...

It should be an easy decision at the end of this year. You don't move on from a franchise QB just because they aren't a top 5 guy. The last team I can think of that did it was the Browns and see how that turned out. If Bryce sucks this year it's an easy move on.

I was just gonna say, Canales earned my respect with that move coming in as the new guy and being able to objectively say, “sit him.  He’s not good,” regarding your owner’s pet project and former #1 overall pick in his second year.

I was explaining to my friend who is a Bears fan that while the pieces we’ve added could help Bryce, we essentially are putting the ball in his court - if you can’t win with this, the next guy will.  QB will now be a plug and play position for us if the Bryce experiment fails because every position around QB is ready to win.

The worst possible scenario is gray area. I just want him to sink or swim. Don't go out there and be middling. Give us the answer one way or the other.

Which is exactly what we should be doing.

If Bryce fails this year our offense is in a solid place to plug in a rookie QB.   I agree.  Much better than 2 years ago.  Assuming we have some sort of plan to keep the OL solid of course.

i haven't seen that anywhere, but if its true it makes me think of what (former panthers offensive lineman with a radio show name escapes me) said last season that he doesn't think Canales likes Bryce and wants him gone. 

the offense was atrocious last season without Thielen. I think that was far more about him being out than Andy being in. 

Star Tribune beat reporter "Ben Goessling" for the Vikings was saying it was close and they were discussing a third day pick for compensation.

you trade away Bryce's security blanket, and when he eats poo you say "look at all the money and resources and he STILL can't play" 

then you promise Nicole will get input on the next QB too

Didn't Nicole want Stroud? Hell, I'm sold. Let her make the call. LOL

      I see the issues with Tyreek, which is why I put an asterisk on him and all the way on the bottom. I don't even see him playing at all this entire year since he hasn't even been seen working out at all. But I do not think he's as hard to play with as Stefon Diggs is IMO and Tyreek is more of a game changer. But either way, it's pie in the sky.  Always loved Keenan and he is from the Carolinas so that's really the only thing that may interest him playing here if no one is giving him any calls to play.

      It's not that I'm not rooting for him to do well, but I'd be lying if I said him having a good season wouldn't scare me after what we've seen out of him so far. I'd be afraid of it just being one of those situations you see all the time, a player is in a make it or break it season, they somehow raise their level of play to new levels, and then proceed to immediately drop back off a cliff the next season (although this does usually happen in contract years, not a player trying to not get cut). Now, if you tell me that no matter how well he plays, we're then going to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, then yea, I'd want him to go off for a monster season so we can get a better return.

      Helllllllllllllll no on Tyreek, not even on a vet minimum and if he was playing at his peak abilities. We have way too young of a WR room to bring that head case into the locker room, there is just no way I want him around any of our WRs.  The things that make him great aren't things that can be taught, they're his natural born athletic gifts, so there isn't anything useful he can teach our guys and would just be a bad influence on them. Same goes for Stefon Diggs. Allen I'd love, he'd be a great mentor for T-Mac and Coker, but I doubt he plays anywhere other than with the Chargers or a legit true SB contender this year (and only small odds on the latter there, likely Chargers or nothing I'd guess).
