Y’all will be on his jock like white on rice the moment he completes a 20-yard pass in the preseason.

”start Pickett!”

You may be right. If Pickett can show Bryce up maybe someone important will notice. Good idea.

Yea they signed a backup QB who is worse than Bryce Young on purpose so he doesn’t make him look bad in practice 

Can’t be putting doubt in the mind of all our new shiny FAs and draft picks.

Joe Person on Mac and bone regarding  geno Smith and bryce "you don't want Bryce looking over his shoulder "

The seeds are being sowed.  The message from the front office is pretty clear at this point.

Yes the fug you do. When a guy is one of the worst starting QBs over the course of his three year career you dint want him sitting comfortably. It's past time to turn uo the heat on this guy but we just keep pretending like he's a franchise QB as if that'll turn him onto one.

Yep. Dave Tepper is still running this franchise. He's Jerry Jones without the Super Bowls, or winning seasons, or anything positive.

Considering how many first round qb bust we’ve seen go to other teams and be good, I think we should be more open minded to this. Hes just a back up and I would argue an upgrade over Dalton. Who knows what he could do in a different system and a different team?

Well that sucks. I really was hoping we wouldn't waste money on a Pickett/Howell/Fields worthless roster spot. Just roll with Andy again, if Bryce goes down you get a high pick and get to try again at QB in the draft. I've never seen the point of half assing it and drafting some mid round guy or journeyman backup.

Who besides Darnold? I feel like that never works out. Geno sucked, Wilson sucked, Lance sucked. Baker is mid tier I guess.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
