Ewers isn’t even the best QB on his current team. That’s a no from me dawg.

Worse than Ryan Leaf, which is shocking.

Because if we had a competent offense, the Chargers wouldn’t have had the ball long enough to get 200 yards rushing. When your offense doesn’t get a first down until the end of the first half, your defense is spending too much time on the field. surely you all can’t be so dense as to not understand this.

There has to be a lot of talking in the corners. There is no way people aren’t looking at each other and saying this. As an organization, if this weren’t football, employees would begin looking for a way out. bryce has to jump to throw slant routes FFS and he is constantly late on those

That’s what happens when you’re on the field twice as long as the offense is. Do you expect them to keep it a 6-0 game just so Bryce can maybe throw enough jump slants to get to the end zone?

Bro, they gave up 26 points with an offense that can’t even get to midfield. This is a complementary sport and holding a team to 26 points when your offense can’t do anything, at all, is not that bad. Canales runs the risk of losing the locker room if he doesn’t make a change. At some point you question “why even try?” I know we talk about integrity and accountability but that street only goes so far unless it’s reciprocated.

The defense isn’t the issue and that’s my point. The Bryce experiment has failed, for now. He needs to be benched, and should have been benched last year. The Patriots are sitting Drake Maye who will likely be miles ahead of where Bryce was at this time last year. Why can’t the Panthers do that?

Think about it as if you’re on the defense. You’re playing, risking injury, and all for the ego of an owner who only seems to care about one player who very clearly needs to be benched. if I’m on defense, I may sit out future games. It’s a shame Derrick had to get hurt for this garbage.

Canales owes it to the defense to pull Bryce. Those guys are out there playing hard, competing, forcing turnovers, and risking their health and longevity in life, all for the ego of David Tepper. Canales needs to man up, tell Tepper that Bryce isn’t going to work, and pull him. It’s beyond the point of bad, it’s disrespectful to every other player on this team, their families, and their future selves.

No. He ran around a lot at Alabama. He wasn’t asked to make throws on time, in tight windows. He was given one read, and then a scramble drill would ensue. However when you play with two first round receivers, a lot of your lack of ability is masked. everything people said was a positive in terms of his play making outside of the pocket, I saw as a negative. It’s only a positive if you’re making plays within the framework of the offense and then go outside of it when needed; he didn’t do that at Alabama. I watch enough college football to be able to compare how players would be if they were put on different teams. I’d actually take App State’s QB at Alabama over Bryce. I’d take him in the 4th or 5th round next year as a developmental guy in the NFL. I also said, in 2023, that I would only draft Bryce in the 3rd round or later. The risk wasn’t worth the reward and not only did we risk drafting him, we absolutely destroyed our future by trading away assets for him.

Or what? You going to suspend my account for a week again? The time for bashing is NOW. No justice, no peace! Tepper must admit his mistake before we, as fans, can move on. I will bash the decision to bring Bryce in, and I will continue to bash his lack of skills and how asinine it was that I, an avid follower of college football, could spot the very weaknesses in Bryce’s game as far back as 2021 yet a billionaire owner meddled and could not see it. then, I was banned for a week from the Huddle for saying this. For detailing his short comings. For detailing his lack of traditional skills within the framework of an offense. His lack of tangible assets to work with at the highest level. So no, I am being vindicated the more time that goes by and I will not be quiet about it.

Water actually isn’t wet. I took the football IQ test thingy and it says I’m right. Draft me!

The problem is that he is relying on his instincts. I'm no scout, I'm not a football coach. But my assessment on him coming out was that he wasn't forced to play within the structure of the Alabama offense. There were not many timing routes, there were not many reads for him to make at the line, there were not many protections to change, and he often had 10 seconds to throw the ball. He could bail after his first read was gone, run around for a bit, and then find a guy. People said "mini Patrick Mahomes", I said "good college QB on the most talented, most well coached offensive team in the country". And it ends there. He is who he was in college. His instinct is to see his first read, scramble, and buy time for a scramble drill. When he's been forced to execute within the framework of an offense, he is lost. He is lost because he can't see. He's now had two Qb-centric coaches and somehow has managed to play worse. He has $185 million on the line protecting him. He has a $25 million running back. He has a player who would be elite in Buffalo, San Fransisco, New York, Houston, etc. at receiver. If you put Stroud on this team, how does it look? Purdy? Allen? Darnold? Baker? He is, by far, the worst starting QB in the league.

I said all of this last Spring. He didn’t make timing throws. He didn’t play within the system often.

I lost my first soccer game as a coach today, 6-3. The line was -2.5. Take the Chargers.

We have a perfect set-up to have a plug and play QB taken at number one overall. I trust Canales to pick the right guy but I don’t trust Tepper to just stay on a beach and stay out of the picture.

I haven’t watched Dart lately but he always struck me as the “perfect college, spread air raid” QB. He doesn’t really have the arm to be drafted high but he could be a developmental project. Everyone I listed could be a Day 1 starter but I’m not sold on Beck. He will get the Red Carpet treatment though, and that scares me considering who the team owner is.

We suck on purpose. There are some good QB's showing up that will be available in the next draft. I don't recall all names right now but a few that have stuck out to me are as follows: 1. Sanders - They have no run game, at all, yet he's throwing for 300 and 400 yards, multiple touchdowns, and just carrying that team. If he weren't there, they would be losing much worse than they already are 2. Kyle McCord - Dude has played lights out the first two games and was treated like dog poo at Ohio State 3. LSU Guy - He stuck around behind Daniels and man, he can fit a football into a tight window without even seeing the receiver, and throws with such timing and pace 4. Carson Beck - I don't like the idea of drafting him. He's an average player on the best team in the country and it's hard to tell if he's carried or is carrying the team. Overall, if App State's receivers could have created separation against Clemson, I think Joey Aguilar could have had a similar stat line to Beck so I'm inclined to think Beck will be drafted high, but it's solely a function of being on the best team in the country.

Future cuationary tale not needed. He was 5'10. He couldn't work out at the combine because he spent all of his time "beefing up" to make weight. Then he couldn't weigh in at his Pro Day because he'd spent all of his time drilling. It is what it is, and it certainly is not his fault. There is no need to blame him for his short comings because, as per usual, the problem lies with management or ownership.

I have hope that we take either the guy who transferred from Ohio State to Syracuse or Brumhilda from LSU in the next draft. I'd also be okay with Sanders. The more I watch, the more I like. He would be great in the NFL with a power run game behind him.

We all know that it isn’t a sure thing. The problem is that we took a 5’10 quarterback who couldn’t do QB workouts at the combine because he’d spent the previous two months eating so he would weigh in over 200 lbs. Then he wouldn’t weigh in at his Pro Day and only did drills. Then Tepper was star struck by Saban and took the 185 lb quarterback that ordered a SCALLOP SALAD instead of like three entres to keep his weight up. I saw this coming from 10 miles away. Many other people did as well and most of them have left the board because of how they were treated here for even the suggestion that Bryce wasn’t the best option. If he had been anywhere else but Alabama, he’s a 4th round pick.

So boys and girls and everything in between, it’s going to be a long year and we will need a weekly gif thread. Funny, serious, doesn’t matter. Just bring what you’ve got as a reaction.

You not realizing the relevance of the comment is more a reflection of you than of what I said… the doofusness of this place never ceases to amaze.
