I would love to win this game just because it is the Falcons and beating them is always a great thing. London is supposed to play so Horn will have his work cut out for him. He torched us last time. Fortunately, we controlled the game. Go Panthers

Unless something has changed over the past week. I do not see us controlling the game like we did in week 3. Atlanta, though out of the playoffs, is playing much better than we are. Plus it is in Atlanta. I am not holding any hope of winning this game.

Let's not forget that SF gave up 3 #1s to get him. You don't quit on a player you give 3 huge picks for because he has one or two bad games. Purdy is the only reason SF doesn't look totally stupid.

When he did, he looked lost. He was always ready to run with the ball. He was terrible. Let's not think he's just been overlooked. He played terrible when he played.

Lance would be an interesting pick up. After being a backup for several years he's probably matured. It's just a matter of whether he can lead a team without terrible mistakes that he had with the 49ers.

Come on, there are several options available. Speculate. Kind of dodging the question. I can probably surmise that anyone you mention will have as many issues as any I bring up. BTW you talk about Gunslinger mentality is something you don't want. I recall we had our own gunslinger that took us to the Super Bowl. Remember Jake Delhomme?

Young will be here in 2026 but I seriously doubt they pick up his option. He's not worth the big money they would have to give him for the 5th year.

I doubt they pick up his option. He'll be backup next season. We have to address this position either through the draft or Free Agency.

So looking at the current standings we are 15th in draft order. Several teams will probably pass us especially if we actually lose out. There are 3 teams that most definitely will be drafting a QB Jets, Raiders and Saints Cardinals (Murray), Dolphins (Tua) and Houston (Stroud) with question marks Browns Gabriel and Sanders but maybe they jump on another QB if they get high pick Titans (Ward), Commanders (Daniels), Falcons (Penix) Giants (Dart) Vikings (McCarthy) all young QBs but most likely wont' be drafting a QB. Dallas (Dak) and Bengals (Burrow) doubtful I doubt Jets, Raiders and Saints surpass us in wins. So we'd be in the window for the 4th best QB in a bad QB class.

So, who is it you want?

You're basing this off of one season as a starting QB? The offensive line he had was terrible, yet he still threw for nearly 4000 yards. He has a big arm. Granted he has some faults but So did Darold, so did Mayfield but they changed. Winston had several years of gunslinging as you say. Howell had one season. The only reason they moved on from him was falling into Daniels. I think of everyone on this list Howell has as many good qualities as any.

I'm not sure why so many of these posts leave Sam Howell off the list. He had good numbers with Washington and as far as I've been able to see he's still on his rookie contract. (Doesn't mean there isn't an extension or something I just couldn't see anything where he's signed beyond 2025) Howell is still pretty young, got a good arm and did well in 2023 with the Commanders. Yeah I know 21 Ints is scary but that was also his first season at QB and many HOFers have had rough first seasons.

What I meant was we will never get PAST mediocrity. Right now, we're not even mediocre. With Young Mediocracy is our ceiling. We'll never be anything better than .500

We have 7 games left. Put Hooker to the test. See if he's learned anything. IMO Bryce is done.

I've been a big supporter of Young but after yesterday I have to face the reality that many of you were right. We're never getting past mediocrity until we get a QB that can use the entire field. We're too easy to defend.

I am all in on giving Hooker a look. We aren't a playoff team and we need to start looking elsewhere for a QB. I've been probably one of the most patient fans when it came to Bryce Young but after yesterday it is very clear he can't carry a team. Hooker showed he could carry a team with Tennessee. While it was college he had that ability. We need to give him a look.

Treymayne to me is another great find. IMO he just needs more REPS. XL just seems so invisible on the field and I totally agree we can't have a raw WR on the field. We need excellent route runners and ballers. XL isn't a baller IMO.

I would not say I'm a Nut hugger because I thought he would come around but after watching yesterday's performance I no longer believe he's anything more than a capable backup. The question is, is do you take a midround first for a QB? I also believe we need a good offensive coordinator. We run thw most vanilla offense in the league.

All our division rivalries. Cowboys, Commanders, Seahawks and Patriots.

Especially since Atlanta is looking pretty good in Berlin.

Just another thread to bash BY. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lance would be an interesting player to bring in to try and develop but the 1000 of question marks about his ability to follow a game plan worries me. He seems to be a player that moves to improvise more than follow the play.

Look I am not saying Bryce is the answer. I think he's better than you portrait but, I get your point. Remember Dart was a late first round pick. A great pick up if you ask me. We're probably not going to reach for a 1st round pick. That means a 2nd round or further down the draft for a QB that may or maynot be the answer. Sad thing is though we traded up for Young, he's probably the best QB of that draft. Stroud has regressed greatly, if you ask me. I don't know the answer and I am not sure we waste picks on a MAYBE.

I've read your other posts. That's not 100%. You're gambling that some FA is going to be our savior. We struck lightning once with Jake relieving Rodney Peete. Who's the next Jake? You don't know and neither do I. You're speculating. I want exactly who is going to be your savior. You probably can't pick one because every FA has flaws, which is why they aren't starting in this league.

I didn't write the metric. You can probably say every single QB that has a GWD under his belt was because of someone else. That doesn't fly with me. You want to nitpick that's your choice. Going by the metric he has 9 GWD. If you think is should change get with the NFL and get it changed but I am not going to say this guy gets credit but BY doesn't.
