I'm probably in the minority, but I don't want to see Bryce Young benched yet. Especially for Hendon freaking Hooker. Sorry. 

Eh, Hendon Hooker might be someone we start toward the end of the season, but right now, nah.  We were sold that Bryce was this great player and its time for him to show something, ANYTHING.  Also Hooker is still young by NFL standards (only in his third season) and came from a kind of gimmicky Tennessee Offense, hes only been on the team for a few weeks and would need to learn the whole playbook and be ready and I would not believe he is ready to step in and play.  If Bryce continues looking bad and we decide to bench in like week 7 or 8, Hooker would be the guy I'd go to.

No.  Sorry to burst everyone's bubble.  If Hooker is out taking snaps, then THERE IS A MASSIVE issue beyond how poor we've played.

Why not?  I'm a reactive person!  Make changes for the sake of changes!  I get it.  But why?  Because of Bryce and off season trades.  First round QBs usually have value, even if they suck.  Bryce is the same way.  Bryce does have talent, and I could absolutely see some teams in the off season kicking the tires on Bryce.  

Benching him for a practice squad QB after two weeks will tank his value.  May as well release him then.  The rest of the team will not be happy, and I don't think anyone wants to deal with that.  No one wants to waste a year of time.  The guys want to win. 

It's very possible we do move on from Bryce this off season, but we don't have another option which will help us win.  Bryce almost lead an extremely improbable last minute drive.  He didn't get it, but the play calling did him no favors.  So just drop him and plug in someone who they see in practice who doesn't have the skills to step in?  No.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
