Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

I wouldn't. I also don't consider 3rd string caliber QB's as adequate replacements.

Well you know, that ain’t my list but argument’s sake, wasn’t Daniel Jones a scout team player last season at one point? Wasn’t Baker that here at one point? 
Surely there will be some kind of path out of this, if ‘we’ decide want out.

Its downright funny and sad that you literally have to cherry pick to stats to make Bryce look good. There is no other way you can do it, it's also funny that this is being thrown around so much right now before we actually get to the tough part of our schedule. Lol

When you consider the money involved, the smart decision would be to walk away from  Young and bring in a cheap alternative.

What I know will happen though is they'll exercise his fifth year option.

I am gonna be honest with you, Willis is several years away from being a potentially viable NFL below average starter.

He looks like a slightly taller, far more athletic, Bryce Young.

And yet he isn't as good.

If you base your entire evaluation on outliers, that is how you end up with Bryce Young.

100% agree. If you don't think he is the guy, trade him before the 5th option is taken in the offseason. Pull the band-aid off and move on. 

Doesn't matter if the answer is Dalton, free agent QB, draft QB or some combination. Be decisive about making a move.

That isn’t how I would describe how we ended with Bryce. But I’ll spare you me repeating that.

As of today what do you figure the odds are they do that? I am thinking he really has to mess things up before they would even think about it.

I think if it was strictly Canales’ choice that BY would be gone. Tepper is the wild card because Bryce as his guy. He probably isn’t ready to have that much egg on his face. Dan and Dave need to have a sit down with Tep after the season and try to get him on board with cutting the cord.

Well things can change. He has plenty of help now and this is his shot in my opinion.  It won’t get any fairer to him than it is this year. And we are going against the division 5 more times plus some contenders.  It is a good test. Kind of have to let it play out. 
I lnow that personally I need to see something I think is not a blip but is repeatable on a consistent basis against challenging competition. High bar not low bar.
