I just don't think the QB upgrade is there without doing something stupid again 

There are definitely Vets or FA or draftees that are just as good if not better and don't cost 35+ million to sign like Bryce's 5th year would be. 

I still subscribe to the camp we void his 5th and if he balls out in 2026 let the chips fall where they may.

I think all of Scot’s points stand decoy the 5th year option being guaranteed.  If you’re Dan Morgan or Canales, are you worried about letting Bryce walk and facing him as an opponent?  I would be licking my chops to play him.  I think that should be the measure of whether you lock him in.  FO would be remiss if they believe they can’t find multiple QBs out there right now who are an upgrade over Bryce.  If they want to keep him and bring in legit competition so be it.  What we absolutely cannot do is go into another season with him being coddled and the only option to legitimately start.

I don't really disagree.

But my argument is based on  will, not should...

No it isnt. He's been the worst QB in the NFL since entering thr league. Anyone with common sense is not signing his 5th year option. Tepper is making him the highest paid QBin NFL history. 

Do you really believe that Dave Canales, Dan Morgan and David Tepper agree with any of this? 

I don't.

the bar for a 5th year option is much low than the bar for getting extension, they want to give Bryce every change to succeed. yall focusing on the wrong things, he was never not getting his 5th year

I disagree, giving bryce the 5th essentially is putting both Morgans and Daves job in Youngs hand.  You think they are comfortable with that?

Re: Bryce and his option... there are still 4 games left to play. I think what happens down the stretch still matters, and if he keeps flashing mercurially like he has been, I don't think us locking in the option is guaranteed. 

We would be fools if we don’t lock up the option. Though inconsistent, he is moving in an upward trajectory.

The problem is, if we keep getting him all these weapons and OL for him to have success, eventually we can’t keep bringing in assets because of cap space. So they won’t all be here together forever and then what? Oh, that doesn’t even include not building the defense up. Wasting time and assets of giving him more and more chances will bite us in the ass, hard. He’s had plenty of chances and he’s been the same guy since his rookie years how many chances should they give him?

So in your opinion, 1 game is enough justification to exercise the 5th?  No offense but thats moronic at best

Again, this is not a statement of opinion. This is a prediction of what's going to happen. 

I normally don't do that sort of thing, but it's valid in this case. 

Will...not should...

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
