Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

Tepper has been quiet, but he will make his thoughts known one way or the other if Dan Morgan decides to cut ties with Bryce. I think he has given Morgan and Canales a long leash, but he would have a say in this. 

Mentioned elsewhere, it's also best to at least give some consideration to how the players feel, and all indications so far are they support Bryce.

And honestly, if we make it to the playoffs, you'll have a tough time arguing to dump Bryce before the option year.

I think Canales might end up being a long term answer.

Not convinced with Bryce...

I really don't want to get in a situation where Canales gets to draft a QB, that QB struggles mightily and Canales gets canned rather quickly getting the blame for not properly developing the guy. Bears made this mistake twice and - despite their current record - there's still a lot of question marks with Caleb.

It is what it is at this point.  My gut says playoffs.

This is maddening because, well, it's so up and down. When the kid's on, he can be great. When he's mediocre, we can still win based on a strong running game and good defense. When he's bad, and over his history he's this more than not, then it's a sad show that no one could win with.

How can anyone know what is going to happen right now? Really. It's like picking one flake in a snow globe and shaking it once a week... there is no telling where it will end up.

Things I did see on Sunday from Bryce: his teammates love him; he can make the big throws with good protection and good effort from his receivers. He isn't afraid to run. He can rise up against the best in competition (but he can also sink to the level of bad competition). 

All I can say is if Canales goes with an aggressive game plan for Bryce that leans on a hot-hand running game, the team can beat anyone. If there's any wishy-washy play calling, then Bryce melts and couldn't beat anyone. 

Maybe the person Bryce needs to win over more than anyone is Canales.
