Guy has been giving his all with 5 different franchises and has been kicked to the curb again and again.  He never talks down about his previous teams or players. Seems like an upstanding dude who has earned his chance. Happy that between Mayfield and him, he gets to go and try for a ring.

We really didn't give him much of a chance. Our entire team was in shambles, and he didn't have much help here.  He balled out against LA and he's proven he can win big games. We gave up on him way too soon.

Good luck to him.

Always a classy guy.  Showed progress his final season here, but we can never fool ourselves, he would not be who he is staying here, he would have plateaued.  Smartest thing he ever did was take the backup role in SF and learn in the Shannahan system.  HE followed that to Minnesota where he had elite Recievers and a smart offensive head coach who operates a similar system.  he developed there and now has the knowledge to go with the physical tools he has to succeed at a high level.

I remember drafting him for my fantasy league when he came out of college and it cost me a Superbowl smh seeing ghosts. When he was traded here, my wife bought me PSL , and I hated on him then. After the last two years I will admit he has proven me wrong...and I have accepted that... because I know now Young has the same chance to prove why he went number 1 as well, I just hope it's for us.

Some QBs take several years to become a good starting QB. Sadly this league has no patience, like they did in the past. Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vick never really saw any playing time their rookie years. They sat back and watched a professional QB. Left out Jake Delhomme. Now every once in a while you get a guy in his rookie year that blows poo up like Cam but that is not common.

Did Sam Donald win the lottery or something.

If you mean the Seahawks qb, don't give a crap about him one way or the other.  I just hope the Tarheel loses.  

It is amusing how so many on this board hated Darnold, and he left and got more success.  And now a seemingly similar percentage (if not the same posters) hates Young.  Which is why I largely ignore the rants about Young here.

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
