Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

[UAPanther]

Run Rico and play stellar defense and we got a shot

It's unfortunate he got injured. Of course he's banked just under $40 million here so as an NFL player he'll be alright in the long run.

We have an outside chance of being competitive against the Bills simply because our strength is running the ball and they're abysmal at defending the run. We're gonna have to grind it out and try to keep Josh Allen on the sidelines though. We're still struggling to rush the passer and Allen will probably eat. Catching the Bills coming off of a bye week following a disappointing loss is a pretty shitty draw though. We'll see...

2027 5th rounder for Jameis, time to pull the trigger on this one, we should have done it in the offseason anyways.

He'll lose us games, but he's also one of the few QB's in the league who will be able to expedite the growth of T-Mac, XL, Coker, Horn Jr, Sanders, and Evans

Chucking 25+ INT's isn't as conducive to growth as you think.

It won't lead to wins but it'll give our WRs a chance to do something other than 10 yard routes.

So when he struggles after he comes back because he's still not 100%, the fans and team will make excuses for him because of that and it will be the reason we give him another year as our starting QB.

 

 

Yeah, I can see this happening 100%

A QB throwing INT's has no bearing on the growth of his pass catchers, it just kills a team's chances of winning games.

For all his problems as a QB, Jameis still has one of the strongest arms in the league and is also one of the most fearless throwers of the ball as well (which is part of his problem).  Our WRs and TEs would get peppered with targets at all levels, something Bryce isn't able to do and I don't think Dalton necessarily has it left in him anymore either.

THAT would 100% expedite their growth, there's no question about it.

Theres a line of thinking that long interceptions aren’t actually that bad anymore in the modern nfl. 

he also threw 33 touchdowns that year.

Yep, exact same thing as last year, fans and the team will see the Wins, remember he "lead game winning drives" (despite him not even throwing a pass on some of those drives), and forget how he actually looked in those games and the paltry passing numbers he put up in them.

Then they'll say "well we had a winning record before he got hurt and then the high ankle sprain affected his play the rest of the season and was the reason he struggled, so when he's healthy next year, he'll be great again"

This has disaster written all over it

I'll take an arm punt over a strip sack any day of the week tbf.

Certainly but the TO prone guys also tend to take the wind out of the sails of their teammates in pretty quick fashion.

Certainly wouldn't argue they will get many more chances, especially since we would be pretty far behind in most of our matchups. Not gonna argue against Winston's ability either. 

I don’t think the growth of these guys is likely getting as stunted as you assume. As stated above, the morale issue is likely going to weigh heavier on them than you think.

People point at Howell's 21 INTs with Washington and says he sucks and is incredibly turnover prone but ignore that 11 of them came when Washington was down multiple scores and in YOLO comeback mode.

Or this 

I’d absolutely take a downfield pick if it meant we were pushing the ball.
