I don't even know that he's calling a dink-and-dunk O. Young checks down immediately (that or he really is a super processor and has determined everyone is covered by the time he's taken 2 steps back). 

That's true.  He often bails after a 1st or 2nd read and commits to a scramble when he should still be navigating the pocket and surveying.  He has an extra half to near full second to advance in the air.  He either throws away, in the dirt, or gains a few yards (sometimes has a good scramble).

Still, our offense is not designed to have many quick hits outside of a few designed screens to the outside.

You grab Philip Rivers off a HS coaching job! LOL. Anything, but you don't keep starting a guy you don't think can do it...right?  RIGHT??

At best Rivers was a 1 year Hail Mary attempt by Indy and not a long term option. Im not sure Tepper would let him dump Bryce but if Canajes doesn’t it will cost him his job at some point going all in with Bryce.

With how this season is going, we're gonna squeak by next week and get absolutely embarrassed in the playoffs.  Extend Young, go into mediocre purgatory for the foreseeable future.  

That's what I've been screaming from the rooftops.  Once you extend a franchise QB, you have a very tight window for success before the front office has to start making tough choices at other spots. 

Here's my play: give the 5th year option Young and bring in legit competition (not babysitting Andy Dalton).  Let next year play out and my best guess is it will look a lot like this year--very middling. Stock the defense and a couple offensive players in the '26 draft and we get our QB in '27, which is slated to be loaded.

Pretty sure we just ended our season when we started taking knees at 2 minutes. You can’t preach to your team “it’s about how you finish” etc. and then do that. You can’t say Keep Pounding and have players bang the drum and then do that. The message is gone now. There’s nothing behind it. And where one crack forms more follow. You could have recovered from dumb penalties, poor play, etc. You can’t recover from giving up when there’s still a chance.

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
