I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him? 

You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced. 

I think it was really obvious that Frank was not allowed to bench Bryce, and that Tepper believed he was ready to come in and start right away and wasn’t hearing any push back from Frank. 
The flap about the footwork that we heard about, was late in the game but it felt like there was a running feud over stuff like that. 
Tepper should have listened to Frank.

You all know who else had a 400 yard passing game on their rookie contract and got a cushy second deal?  Kyler Murray.  I'm telling y'all, Bryce's ceiling is a healthy Kyler Murray.

a healthy pre call of duty kyler murray is an mvp candidate

bryce has never been anywhere near that, games against atlanta not withstanding

@Proudiddyneed to start a go fund me to do weekly Observer Articles until Tepper has to acknowledge it. This mfer clearly doesnt read here, reddit, or anywhere with a true social media presence. Obviously, he gets all his fluff from ESPN talking heads and going old school is only stuff he cares about.

Instead of the banner with a plane, it's a spot on the Observer. Cant cost much these days ....

Couple of years ago we were talking about a billboard. I doubt anything would have much effect. Tepper truly has FU money.

Publicity about his golden child always gets under his skin. You'd think Bryce is JC himself the way the Teppers' act. Mostly, I think all of us want a winning football team and he wants to prove us all wrong that Bryce can be it. The only one looking foolish now is this guy who cant put aside his ego that his 2 #1 overall pick QB isn't better than even the middle of the road QBs in the NFL

Yep, Philly. I researched his salary and then typed the wrong team. Thanks for the correction.

Give me Allar or Sellers I'm not sold on either but at least they look the part and I think allar will be available late in the draft. Not sure how long he's out with injury. Then bring in a vet as well

Sellers is ass. I’m a USC grad/fan and I’m telling you he’s horrible.

I’m pretty sure the coaching staff wanted CJ Stroud, but it was Fitterer and his scouts that had pounded the table for Bryce. Fitterer was the one spouting the point guard nonsense that Tepper kept repeating. Like a commercial jingle.

I think Scott was the culprit. Everything was bad and then when he got here it went to complete hell. Even Rhule did decent in 2020 before Scott got here. He won 5 games but lost like 6 by a score or less. Then dumbass comes in and really fugs poo up. I think he had Tepper’s ear and had no clue what he was doing.

Bryce was supposed to be his Russell Wilson.

Kyler is not that good but has more natural talent than Bryce, he is actually fast and has a big arm.

Bryce could never reach Kylers level and we should want better than that anyway.

Did you not see him hi-five everyone back to the locker room saying "believe  in me guyz"? EXTEND THIS MAN!!!

We have the Rams, Seahawks, Bucs twice--I do not see Bryce shining through it.

I think they would be crazy to offer him the fifth year option, but if they have no backup plan--which they don't--and they solidified that when they signed Dalton.  I imagine that he will stay as a transitional backup to tutor the new QB--

I think there is some opportunity this year for a young QB.  I personally like some of the players who have dropped a bit--but if they do nothing and sign this pussy for another year--and I wanted to like Bryce, but that "doggonit" hand spank when he threw the pic at the goal line--then the look to the sideline as if he was hungry and ready for the nipple--just pissed me off.  The play calling?  Bad.  Why?  The do not have confidence in their QB.

It is crazy but they obviously still want it. It's why they were hired and it's what this entire build is about. The fact they had the Falcons game and then went out and put it in his hands once again vs running the damn ball and trying to squeeze another win out proves it again. I don't like it but that's what this is no matter how hard fans twist details into some kind of sanity. 

I have been against this from before the pick and would love to end it this year just like the two years before. Im just not going to lie to myself about it. There is zero real signs that Tepper is off of the Bryce train either...even if there should be by now.

I hope we are right and the remander of the schedule doesn't play with their food like GB did. Otherwise next year is going to look a lot like this year but the odds they pick up thst 5th are bad that they make the right or good choice. They obviously want it and I just don't see 2 yes men walking Tepper off of his mistake without a deflated end to this season. Any bright spot for them to get twisted will result in more of the same IMO. I will belive it when they say they aren't picking him up otherwise Im just expecting it unfortunately

If that's the case and they haven't given up on that pipe dream then just fire them.

Putting the game in his hands again vs doing the run first approach still makes me think they are both have not given up the dream. Just like brining back Dalton and avoiding anything that could come close to competition did. 

If they had given up on that dream I wouldn't be so agaisnt them both but they did what they did and as far as I can tell thst train is still on the tracks to nowhere.

Ugh the team’s decision not to develop a backup QB is just infuriating. Dalton is 38 years old. Drafting a QB last year would have just been justified to have a BACKUP on the up and up. Every time this team takes a step forward they find another way to take a step or two backward.
