Just curious - What were his very real limitations? His arm looked stronger, he was decisive, he was throwing with anticipation, he had no trouble throwing over the middle of the field, and he even ran the ball with high efficiency. The only thing holding him back were the drops from the receivers and the defense not being able to stop anything. There were more 3 and outs than I'd like, sure, but other than the Cowboys game he played really well.

We were going to cut Jackson anyway, it was a swap of two players that were on their way out of their respective teams.

But but but Morgan got FLEECED...

I'd trade a 2nd and a 4th for Wilson. Maybe throw in the 7th or 6th to push it through. Not giving up the 1st rounder though.

Give him the extension then draft a tackle in round 3/4 to learn behind moton. I fixed the problem now and in the future.

I actually think BC will be more expensive than Corbett due to his versatility.

Wilson feels like a potential reclamation project for Canales, with best case scenario ending up in us getting draft picks for him either through trade or comp picks if he signs a decent contract elsewhere. The rest of the guys listed are all experienced vets with varying degrees of starting experience and success that I would still feel comfortable spot starting for a game or two in the event Bryce goes down.

Potential backups I'd be okay with if Dalton hangs them up (In no particular order): Zach Wilson Drew Lock Marcus Mariota Cooper Rush Josh Dobbs Jacoby Brissett Jarrett Stidham Jimmy Garoppolo Mason Rudolph

The thing that impressed me the most about his game this season was his route running and ability to get open. He's already using his frame and agility to his advantage, he doesn't play small until the ball gets near him, then the alligator arms come out and he tries to body catch. He dropped a ton of balls, but he was also open enough to drop them. Hopefully getting his wrist fixed and then an entire offseason on the Jugs machine can help him out.

I told my wife I wasn't the only person who mistook the "Fiery" packet for single use KY before...

Guys, Mr Completely just insinuated Bryce may be a good QB...

Nah. It's only been like, 10 games of decent to good play so far. Trending upward, but roughly 20 or so. Good enough to be the starter next year and give us hope he can still improve. Let's see how next season goes.

The coldest thing about that, to me at least, was that it was 4th down. Dude just knew.

You sound like a 12 year old that didn't get the right color iphone for christmas

I don't. You don't. (Some people do)

CJ - 20 total TDs in 17 starts (All Passing) Bryce - 21 Total TDs in 12 Starts (15 passing, 6 Rushing) It's a tale of two halves of the season. Props to Canales and Bryce for turning everything around after the benching. Still a work in progress, but I thought people should see just how hard CJ Fell off the second half of the year compared to how much better Bryce was playing to end things. Great way to end the season, playing hard and competitively second half of the year after taking the learning lumps first half. Really looking forward to see more progress next season, from everyone across the team.

Yes you pick up the option. Shouldn't even be a debate at this point. It will be harder to replace him with a better player at a comparable or cheaper price. He's improved since last season, hopefully he continues to improve into the future.

It's Dave's call. The players Evero was given to work with at the beginning of the year weren't amazing, and the ones he's stuck with using now due to injury are even worse. If Evero is actually calling solid games with sound strategies but the talent is so ass that people are incapable of executing the simplest of tasks, keep him. If it's the opposite, move on.

As of right now, 6 wins. Depends entirely on what we do in the offseason though.

I didn't give a single cherry picked example, I gave you a three game sample against playoff teams in which he did in fact, do enough to win. I'm not crowning him the franchise savior but I am saying he is improving and doing enough on a personal level to win. He can't catch the ball in the endzone for his WRs. He can't overcome bad inept calls by the refs taking points off the board. He can't be the running back that needs to hold onto the ball in OT. He can't be the defense giving up game winning drives in multiple games after securing a lead with less than two minutes to go. He does need to be more consistent and he needs to put more complete games together rather than some late game heroics, there are too many 3 and outs throughout the season for my liking. Hopefully that improves with more experience from both Bryce and Canales, but he isn't padding his stats in garbage time like Caleb Williams. He's played well. Not great, but well. C+/B- levels of QB play, which is a huge jump up from his F grade last year. He is attempting throws that Bridgewater never did, look at the passing charts from the games since he's come back compared to Teddy. Teddy was allergic to throwing past 10 yards down the field, but would uncork one bomb per game. Bryce is feasting in the intermediate levels of the field (10-20) with rainbows that keep falling into our receivers hands. I'm here for it. The hope is that the trend continues and the team puts more and more complete games together next year. But let's be honest, The defense is the biggest issue with the team going into next season. That needs to be addressed far more than finding Bryce's replacement. QB Class next draft is looking solid, if he shits the bed next year, I'm all for drafting the new guy.

I called between 4 and 6 wins and wanted to see improvement the second half of the season while being competitive in games we lose. We have done both things. That's all I wanted. This was a house money year for Dave and Dan. I am satisfied. Build on it, get to 7-9 wins next season while being in the fight for a wildcard spot. There's hope for the first time in years.
