There's no way they could have gone through this season looking at the qb room and say, nah fam we good. I refuse to believe that.

The "room"? Yeah, I expect them to hunt for a better backup.

I also expect whoever they sign will be told they are not competing for a starting job.

I'm just leading you to keep typing for no reason lol.  I have no point to what I'm saying Scotty.

To the thread-Bryce is very likely getting that 5th year option exercised.  And it is nothing to overreact to on the fandom's end. 

It's not meaning we're giving him a glowing endorsement for the next 4-5 years, it's basically ensuring him we aren't cutting the cord.  I just don't see a scenario like the Giants did with Daniel Jones unless Bryce completely falls apart and shows nothing similar to the Falcons or Rams games here on out.  

It seems like we'll exercise it, see how he shakes out next year with the growing arsenal and defense around him.  If he really finds a groove, could see a contract worked out next year.  If we implode next season, he will be gone.  

2027 is the year we either land a new QB or will know going in we've got Bryce here for quite a few more.

Heh 😆

Side Note: Why the hell is it called "Preparation H" anyway? It's supposed to be a medication, not what you use to get something ready.

And given where it's used, I'd really like for the manufacturers to explain to me precisely what they want to "prepare" that part of me for?

Then I would expect Dave Canales to take the path of Frank. You cannot force a coach to be tied to a QB no matter the results. Frank checked out because of this. Dave will too.

Improved is true. Good is a different thing.

I think that is the issue, he has improved to "not very good" from "really bad."

Are we to assume this progression continues? If so, it probably means 2-3 more seasons before we see "franchise caliber" QB play on a consistent basis.

And I really don't think anyone buys into that notion of consistent improvement at this point.

And yet his numbers are better than Lawrences' and you stated you would trade for Lawrence and his 50M contract. Why?

If you're going to post comparisons, you should post them all. 

If you take the time to look, you can see he has improved in pretty much every catagory: TD%, TD-INT ratio, succ% (passes going for 1st downs), yards/game, adjust yards gained per pass attempt, 4th qtr comeback, game winning drives etc.

All the Bryce stans have always said we should forget 2023 existed as it's unfair to look at it.   Now you want it just for the sake of showing the jump from practice squad worthy to backup worthy? ok.  noted. 

the reason you compare the starts (12 vs 12) and omit the 2 token garbage time appearances in 2024, those skew the per game averages.   For example, from a per game scenario, it would be logging him as playing a NFL game with -4 pass yards in a game and treating that as a game.  

which is why you look at starts (12 vs 12 games)

2024 - 195 pass yards per game, 20 rush yards per game, 21 TDs, 11 turnovers

2025 - 194 pass yards per game, 10 rush yards per game, 19 TDs, 13 turnovers

which clearly isn't "pretty much improved" in basically any of the primary categories of production.  It's worse in all the big ones.  Yards, scores, and turnovers. 

if you want to make a Bryce is better in 2025 argument than last year.  Cool.  It's not in his individual production stats that matter though.

He still has another year before the 5th year. Bring in a steady vet. Let Andy go. Draft one in 3rd round like Kirk Cousins or Rudolph Wilson was. Hope they hit if Bryce sucks. If that doesn’t work. Draft one in 2 years in the first round. Move on from Bryce. Let the vet or 3rd rounder you got start the year and bring in the 1st round qb when ready. 
 

Thats your succession plan if Bryce sucks. Worst thing is game manage it for next year and still draft the next one in 1st round the following year.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
