I still say drafting Fields was the play even though he sucks.  It would have cost much less and we wouldn't be as staggered as we are now with the timing of Bryce's contract.  You add in the coach inheriting this problem.  It's just compounded itself multiple times over.

We should have just bit the bullet and taken the easy L.😆

Yep. Like I said earlier, it would've been the comparatively far less painful mistake to move on from.

Honestly, minus the insane investment made we would've already moved on from Bryce by now. We're stuck in a sunk cost fallacy quagmire at the moment.

I'm fine with putting Dalton out there and seeing how it goes. That's why I'm hoping Bryce is gonna miss this week. We still have time. There's two games to go before the trade deadline so let's see what the rusty old Red Rifle has left.

Eh....sounds like longer than next week. High ankle sprain.

Honestly, this is a good thing. I'm glad we're being forced to put Dalton out there and honestly if Bryce is going to miss multiple weeks we might feel pressured to shop for a late round pick type of trade to shore up the backup QB position. Sometimes you have to get forced into doing the thing you should've already been trying to do.

Nah. That braintrust would already have signed him to a top 5 contract. No thanks.

He bounced around the league before landing here to hold Bryce's hand. 

He looked good in one spot start last season then was bad enough that they felt confident in putting Young back in. 

Well technically he lost his job to a car accident.

Yeah, I mean if the offense looks substantially more logical with Dalton, I think the obvious answer suddenly becomes undeniable. Bryce is the problem.

If Dalton struggles for obviously Dalton related reasons, you have to pivot.

Or maybe it also shows Bryce isn't THE biggest problem, as well.

I am glad we get to see some moving parts to figure some of this all out.

I still don't understand how this is any different than last season.  Here we go again I guess.

Dalton was f’n terrible last year outside of that Vegas game. And Vegas was terrible last year and Chuba had 169 total yards that day

the next 4 games he threw 4 touchdowns to 6 interceptions. The last 3 of those 4 games were absolute blowouts

Hell Bryce came in against Chicago and Washington cuz the game was so over and Dalton was so bad

High ankle sprain, 2-4 weeks, that said, no one is coming in and getting the playbook down better than what Dalton or Hooker will be able to do over the next 2 weeks.  We are not in buy in win now mode, we are still a developing project that was in a hopeful position at this point.  Use andy, if ineffective, use Hooker.

Ultimately our formula the last 3 weeks winning has been Run. The. Ball.  Whether its Rico or Chuba, we will run the ball atleast 30 times and ask Dalton to be opportunistic and that should be it.

Yeah I agree.  If he was average, Bryce would have never made it back on the field.

Nope. There was honestly no plan to bring Bryce back 

Also Dalton looked even worse this preseason. He’s a 40 year old with 100 years of experience and he couldn’t move the ball against teams 2nd units… I honestly can’t believe they wasted cap space brining him back

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔

      Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      Then the offense will be the same up and down underperforming offense they are this year and our FO are filled with idiots.
