Bryce has pretty clearly improved this year. He's taking more shots downfield and showing better accuracy on those throws and as a result we have had more of a downfield element to our offense during the second half of the season. It's still not enough of a deep passing threat, but we're trending in the right direction. I'm all for bringing in someone to push Bryce that can also be a capable backup (Dalton looks done and I wouldn't be surprised if he retires after the season) but it's pretty clear that Bryce will be the starter going into next season and I do think there's a good chance he continues to improve. I'd be all for drafting his replacement if we were 1) in position to do so without trading a ton to move up, and 2) there's a QB worth taking in the 1st round, but neither of those things are going to be true for us this upcoming draft.

We've clearly taken a step forward this year. We also still clearly have a ways to go. Consistency is key. We have been unable to find it this season in any phase.

I don't take any issue with the 4th down call. He's always been aggressive, which is how he should be. It just didn't go our way this time. Overall we've had a good amount of success on 4th down this year so I don't blame him. A field goal from that spot was far from a sure thing.

Even the best corners usually have one receiver that gives them trouble. I remember Bills WR Stevie Johnson used to give Darrelle Revis fits even in his prime.

I don't see how you can put this loss on Canales. Evero maybe but not Canales.

Baker doesn't look healthy.

Not a great comparison. You could likely enter every pro golf tournament for a decade and not demonstrate pro-caliber ability. Bryce has demonstrated that he is capable of playing QB in the NFL at a high level; he just hasn't demonstrated that he can do it consistently.

You have to pay him. Joe Thomas he is not, but he's the best LT we've had in well over a decade.

The thing with Bryce is that he has shown that he can play at a pretty high level. Josh Allen/Lamar Jackson high? No, but he's had his moments for sure. He just hasn't been able to develop any consistency week-to-week. It's all high highs and low lows. If we got Falcons/Rams/Cowboys Bryce more than 3 times per year and Packers/49ers/Jets Bryce looked more like Dolphins/Cardinals Bryce we might have something. A more consistent Bryce Young is actually a pretty damn good QB. He won't ever be Justin Herbert or Patrick Mahomes, but that's a QB we can work with long-term. But this week-to-week whiplash where he looks like a different player every other game is far from ideal.

He should win it. Emeka is a great player, but if TMac was playing in Tampa Bay his numbers would be even better.

If he's so miserable that he's requested his release from two teams in a 4 month span he probably should have just retired after last season.

I will say it does seem like Bryce is taking more shots downfield recently and having more success when he does.

Just following the pattern... SAINTS - W BUCS - L SEAHAWKS - W BUCS - L

Not close. Bryce has actually had good games. I can't think of one good game from Nakamura in a Panthers uniform.
