Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

[fanpanther]

the panthera win off of strong d coaching  and running game and byoung always gets all the credit.  he made some nice throws today bc rams sold out to stop the run.  this was one of his better games.

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

What the fug are you watching?  Holy poo there really cannot be folks out there thinking this after 12 games?  No fuging way

[uncfan888]

I don't think Bryce deserves the 5th year option at all. But if they want to pick it up, and bring in some legit competition, I'd be ok with that. 

But if they roll into next year with Bryce and Dalton or geno then fug this front office

Not even about the Huddle.

I'm just telling people to accept reality. 

They won’t

The only thing I know for sure is we need a real backup QB and we need a new special teams coach.  

I wouldn't dispute either of those things.

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...

Its not a prediction if you cannot explain yourself.  And simply saying "winning" doesnt really articulate poo. Today was a good game, but we are not winning because of him and if we on the huddle can see it dan and dave sure as fug know it as well

Picking up the 5th is saying you believe in him, he is your guy.  Bringing in comp goes against that message.   And his 5th is 30ish million.  Thats a lot to invest in someone that you think still needs comp

Monday was a relevant game on national TV and Bryce poo the bed with a turd larger than he is. 

Again, go back to the question, when is the last time we could say that?

The answer to that question is part of the equation.

I don't want them to pick up the 5th but I think they are going to. That's why I'm saying I hope they bring in some competition 

[CBDellinger]

Yal gotta stop acting like it’s the end of the world.  

They can pick up the 5th and still bring in legit competition and draft a qb whenever they want.  All the 5th does is give them a little more flexibility. 

Relax.

He doesn't need to, because it's obvious.

We're winning games and in the playoff hunt, for Tepper and this fanbase after how bad we've been for so long, that's always going to be enough at this point.

Bryce hasn't earned that extension getting picked up, but when you're in the playoff hunt at this point in the season after how our last decade has been, it's going to get that QB's option picked up almost no matter what.

And that's the problem, we're going to screw our long term future because people can't look past wins.

And I also have to be clear, this isn't a Bryce bashing post based on today, he did just play one of his better games of the season just by way of not making bad mistakes and by making a couple well placed throws.

But having said that, it also need to be pointed out that it's not a recipe for long term sustained success either.  It's the recipe for those teams that have random years of hovering around .500 before falling back to earth the next season because the ball isn't bouncing their way every week.

It may not be, and I've seen this movie before.

But barring something on the level of career ending injury, I just don't see any other path.

Again...

Bryce not getting picked up is Twilight Zone territory at this point.

Yeah, I get this week is doing the classic Bryce crazy reaction thing. 

fact remains, you are still claiming it’s a certainty…..the worst starting QB in the NFL since 2023 with middle school physical levels tools is a guaranteed 5th year pick pickup…..just because.  

Not to mention the very high odds bad Bryce shows up majority of the rest of the games and they can’t win in spite of him down the stretch (as we don’t get anomaly performances from those around Bryce, which is basically what has to happen in our wins minus Atlanta.  That well probably is as close to maxed out as it can get this season.

Canales has coached the hell outta this team 

He has flaws but also has gotten a lot of really good resilience and tenacity instilled in this team and definitely a shift in the culture. 7-6 with a QB playing awful for all but like 2-3 games and some big wins over 2 contenders in the Rams and Packers is insanely good.

 

also as much as I’ve trashed Evero in the past, he’s growing on me. The D has been fuging legit the last few months despite some holes talent wise.
