This Might Be A Blessing in Disguise

The problem is all those bad wins are also going to hurt our draft position in the end to replace him too.

This whole season has gone about as poorly as possible in terms of our long term outlook.

100%. This was always going to be Bryce's make or break year. I either wanted us to suck terribly or Bryce shocks the league and wills us into the playoffs. This is the worst possible outcome. Doing just enough to lose draft position while also giving the Teppers a reason to keep Bryce around.

I'm not crazy about this incoming QB class though. I'd rather us find a vet QB for the time being.

With the way reclamation act QBs are working out our best bang for the buck might be bringing in Sam Howell , Zack Wilson and whomever else off the bargain bin with a mid pick and let them duke it out

I disagree. Making the playoffs would have been enough for the Teppers to make the call to extend him. 

100% it feels like tepperhas been wanting any excuse at all to extend him.  the media makes up new stat categories just to talk about how awrsome he is

I say go sign Cam and just run read option and wildcat with Cam and Dowdle all game. Fug it, can't be worse than this sh*t. 

They would be better. No doubt in my mind this would be a better football team tomorrow with Cam versus Bryce. He hasn't played in years, but he would be better than this. And it probably wouldn't be close.

This team was never contending for a playoff spot with Bryce at QB. I just hate that we were able to limp to a 5-4 record so that they could keep pretending that Bryce was an NFL QB instead of aggressively trying to shop for an NFL caliber QB at the trade deadline. What happened today was very obviously always coming. Teams were always going to eventually wake up and just start completely selling out against the run to force us to have to pass to beat them. It's shocking it took this long.

At some point Rico was going to be stopped and the game was going to be put on Bryce. He just showed us what he is. Is what it is unfortunately.

This^^ Didn't need a crystal ball for this outcome

Don't underestimate how retarded this franchise is under David Tepper.

Hell, I'm not even confident enough to say he STILL won't get extended. It wouldn't surprise me one bit with these dipsh*t owners.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
