Zero competition and no backup plan

[csx]

I thought people wanted to sink or swim with Bryce this year.

Didn’t  we just sign Hooker? Canales is supposed to be a “qb whisperer,” let’s watch him turn Hooker into a legit starter.

Whisperer my ass. He claims to be excited about working with everyone or anyone. Truth is he will say anything to placate the reporters and fans. Actions speak louder than words.

Every season that passes, that label is looking less true:

Geno Smith continued to be serviceable for the Seahawks, taking them to the playoffs more than once.

Baker Mayfield actually had a better season after he left and is picking up where he left off this season.

This staff is weak minded.  Gotta bring in a dev guy.  Move Hooker up and play him if Bruce gonna suck

A mid round flyer qb is a wasted pick 99 out of every 100 picks. It’s the single worst investment in a draft pick. Case in point, people wanted to take Hooker in the 3rd round and now we have him on our PS

So you wouldn't want a Sam Howell, a Tanner McKee, an Aidan O'Connell, a Davis Mills or hell a Brock Purdy on this roster right now?

To be fair, he was coming off a major injury and the reason he wasn't taken higher.  Any team that drafted him knew it was essentially a redshirt season as he came back from surgery.

He also came from a very simple system.

I don’t understand why we are in year 3 of Bryce and this team has done nothing to push him or have any sort of competition. 

Is Tepper is reading forum, he should answer that question. It sure looks like Bryce was anointed the starter from day one by none other than Tepper, and the rest of the organization were a bunch of ass kissing yes men.

No? Do you think they would be any better than Bryce Young? And Purdy and Brady are the 1 in 100 examples. There are 99 Will Greers for every Purdy.

Hooker is about the equivalent of Jack Plummer for those if you thinking there is some type of potential there

Howell has potential. I think O’Connell did but he just wasn’t developed properly. Mills might be one of the most underrated back ups in the league.

Yes.

Yea the Vikings drafted McCarthy and had Darnold on the bench. Oh sh*t McCarthy got hurt so they had Darnold who had the best season of his career. Meanwhile the Panthers have Bryce Young who can’t even throw for 100 yards a game outside of garbage time. F*ck this team
