Pros and Cons of Running Exclusively Wildcat Next Week and Potentially Playoffs (as well as the rest of Bryce’s tenure on the roster

Maybe if Bryce has a Joe Webb game in the playoffs it will be enough to finally end it.

And yet, your boy barely had 50 yards passing today with the playoffs in grasp.  But, flame away on the thread, bro.  poo, seeing how our staff schemes, this thread might have just gotten me a job as quality control coach.

Against tougher defenses we see what happens when Bryce attempts to be aggressive.  That floater that ended up being a pick is what happens.  I know you know this, but I’m just saying for posterity…  they’re not being safe because the plays aren’t there to be made.  They’re playing it safe because the alternative is multiple turnovers.  And again, I just don’t understand how anyone worth their salt hitched their wagon to someone who hamstrings their entire offense like this.

100%. That's why in another thread I said despite my interest in Saturday's game and our potential playoff appearance, I am more anxious about what we are going to do this off-season. I want to celebrate our success, but at the same time, it feels kind of empty because we don't really "belong" in the situation we are in. Maybe that helps the FO have a greater sense of urgency seeing how winnable our division really is. I have little faith that we won't be rolling with BY for 17 games next year and that is a very depressing thought.

Wildcat would actually be a good idea if we're facing a team that is weak up front. Seattle's D-line was alarmingly stronger than our o-line, and that put it all down to Young's arm. Sometimes he's on, and sometimes he's off. Way off. 

You know what your team's coaching staff thinks of its QB by what they ask of him against a stiff defense. We ask the almost the bare minimum. We treat Young like he's a backup QB and we're just trying to get by any way we can when it's actually a good defense. 

My one piece of advice. Offer Young a low ball contract, or nothing. We can't give him a huge contract and hope to drag him along. If he's going to be an anchor we have to drag, then the less he weights us down, the better.
