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

The Browns wouldn’t do it

The browns are full of poo. They have him on the active roster because they wouldn't dare put him on the practice squad. Gonna be interesting what happens once watson comes back, they are just capitalizing off all the attention but it won't last long.

I hate this approach.

There's no guarantee you'll like anyone in the next Draft. You can't just pick a guy 'cos you need a QB. Which is why I advocate looking at the guys with NFL tape and trying to prize one of those away until you DO find the guy in the Draft. 

But granted you're also happy to let Young play out the season, leaving us playing 10v11 all year, so there you go. Different strokes for different folks. 

And there's no guarantee some other team's reject is going to be our prize. We've tried that a few times. I'd sooner bet on a draft pick than a veteran having a resurgence in Carolina at this point.

And yeah I think a big veteran QB signing as if this is a win now roster would be shortsighted

They need both next year. It's looking like PS Hooker and zip at this point. So just zip really

[LinvilleGorge]

Hell, I'm as out on Shedeur Sanders as anyone could be and I'd still nab him immediately if the Browns tried to put him on their PS. I'm ready for anything other than Bryce or the ghost of what used to be Dalton.

Per my post - I don't think a Trey Lance et al is going to be your franchise QB, but he gives you an opportunity to field a competitive team until you DO find your franchise QB.

Rolling the dice on the Draft is a crazy way to operate. Prize = force something open i.e. try to trade for the backup QB the host team actually like.

 

This idea that you're nowhere without a franchise QB is baffling to me. I'd say maybe 10 NFL teams have their franchise guy. The other 22 are settling or actively looking for the next guy. How many of those 22 are actively tanking?

The Steelers are running the corpse of Russell Wilson out there ffs trying to compete. You play to win the game.

I'm amazed so many are just happy to write off the season.

We've written off 3 seasons with this clown under centre.

How many can you trust though based on the results of the past few years? 

 

You can not trust anyone, I have learned this. Still you must get the message across, All college QBs need extra attention this year. Id honestly feel drafting 2 should be the plan. Drafting is the only solution, unless anyone believes another Jake Delhommey deal happens. Panthers won the QB lotto with Jake, its so rare that another Jake isn't walking on this team....

 

Im not ready to write off the season and I think the huddle should know better.....its just been 7 years of disappointment......It changes you. I said no week one is a "must", but in 30 years this felt the closest to one given the poor Jags, bad QB, and new staff. Panthers had some hope, now its all gone.

 

I sped though the game again, I noticed Jags were better prepared than I thought. The Jags coaches on both sides seem to have the Panthers playbooks and knew how most developed. I don't know if TB gave Coen Daves playbook, it felt like it the first time watching and even more the second. Jags knew what was coming and it made the Panthers look worse than they are. 

Still a long season......

[Martin]

I would start scouting QBs for next years draft really close. And I would try to trade for Jameis Winston as the stop gap. It wouldn’t be pretty, but it sure would be entertaining. As a bonus, our young WRs and TEs would thrive.

This is true.  But I don't think you can really do that with Bryce.  Week 1 was extremely consistent with what Bryce has been each season entering a year and overall as a QB. 

I think the real liar is just the anomaly week 18 game last year.  Without that one random game.......Bryce Young's career to date really isn't really debatable at all.  He doesn't belong on the field.   That's at best a backup.  The one game doing a LOT of lifting given how many other games are out there. 

Why do you keep lying about this?  

You keep repeating this for some insane reason when it's so easy to prove it's not true.

I listed games off the top of the head where he played well when you said this in another thread.

Week 16 against the Cards 
36-30 OT win.  Threw 3 TD's

Week 12 against KC
30-27 loss but Bryce went 24 of 35 for 263 yrds.  It was Mahomes magic that got us.

Week 10 against the Bucs
298 yards in a close game with a passing TD and a running TD.

We even had those flashes of what he could be in 2023 against the Packers, the 95-yard game winning drive vs the Falcons, or how he outplayed CJ Shroud with the win over the Texans.

Told you they should have drafted him, I was plenty ready in the 4th!!!

Im no fan either, just.....well this team would truly have a little more hope with sanders on the roster. Just a flyer 4th and panther may are the one of the worst drafting late round teams....

If I'm Dan Morgan I stick with the plan because one step back doesn't erase all the progress that Bryce made last season.  That was a total team loss and Bryce shoulders most of the blame because he's the QB and people are emotional.

The Huddle would blame a one legged man for losing a kicking contest.

Fans don't want to build a team.  They want one already built and winning from the jump.

After the crime scene of Bryce's first year Tepper cleaned house and got his offensive coach who has a history of building QB's.  Dave had the nuts to bench a #1 overall QB in order to help him.  I agreed at the time that if the first 2 games of last year were what Bryce is, then drafting him will go down as the worst in NFL history.

Everyone is doing exactly what they did last year when Bryce was benched.  Freak out.  Calls to cut him.  Sky is falling.  But when Bryce started playing better, and some games at a very high level, people started chopping up that plateful of crow.  Then the whole team craps the bed in the first game of the year and all those same people double down.

Dave and the coaching staff had a plan to reset him and bring him back.  They did.  He not only played better but played a lot better.  I've always said that as long as Bryce is making progress and getting better, you don't pull the plug.  Think of it like a stock.  It's not going up in a straight line.  

Some of ya'll bring shame to our motto.  Dan, Bryce and the rest of the team need to do what they've been doing all of last year.  Building, getting better.

If I was Dan, I'd keep pounding.

What are you talking about? Most people here have been begging for a methodical rebuild for years now. The massive trade up for Bryce badly hurt our ability to do that and Bryce being a bust puts us WAY behind the eight ball.
