Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

They will not trade Young this season. As bad as he's playing they still need him until they feel comfortable that Hooker can backup Andy. So no matter how much some fans want him off the team now it's not happening until the season is over.

Besides, if he has a good game in a week or two 1/4 of the Huddle will be back on the bandwagon anyway.

Give him one more game. Maybe two. If he plays similarly to how he usually does... then, start the QB carousel because you can't afford to trade mid season for anyone good but you can't just let play that bad be excused, no matter draft position. And it's not like the answer is on the roster, so we'll be losing out either way.  But we will get to see if canales is the QB whisperer we dreamed of, or just another piece of fools gold.

Then in the offseason you trade him for whatever you can get. Which... Won't be much. BY is cooked.

The only reason I disagree is with a washed Dalton you're getting a different side of the same coin. They made this bed. Time to sleep in it.

I'd elevate Hooker first and give him a couple games. Maybe Dalton for a few weeks, then move on to Hooker.

Edit: your point tho is why a few of us really wanted something different at backup QB... I don't need someone to win, but how the hell did we end up keeping one of the few NFL QBs with as weak an arm as Bryce?  Ugh

I never said Young. They will have to trade for someone to play that isn't Young. That or play Young again like last year.

Some will, some will never be no matter what. Its the nature of the world today.

Its frustrating but there's only so much that can be said after week 1. Either way it seems pretty set that he'll be starting for the season so nothing really to do besides sit back and watch

They don't need to do anything. There's 3 qb's on the roster and all are capable of getting us a high draft pick. There's no saving this season because the die has been cast and what will be is already in motion. Buckle up buttercup and enjoy the ride.

Which is why Canales needs to be told he's canned unless he starts running the fuging ball on 2nd and 2 or 2nd and 1. Pisses me off so much to see Hubbard get 8-9 yards, then dial up a deep throw where nobody's open, Young forces it and gets sacked or picked.

I don't disagree but I'd rather we at least see Hooker for a couple/few games at some point to see if maybe he's a backup in the long term.

Canales has his own issues with his with preparation. Both his and his players. He got embarrassed against the Jags who made him look like an amateur.

I'm sure you will see him around the end of the season unless he's not showing anything in practice. He may not make it that long if he's not improving.

I liked Hooker at UT. Also was amused that Brad Nessler would never solely say his last name. Always "HendonHooker" real quick on every dropback.
