These types of games are what Bryce supporters/lovers/defenders want to happen in order for him to succeed. If the rush offense and/or run defense sucked, or if any other group has a sub-par day, he hasn't shown that he can take over the game (and that's what you want in a #1 overall pick). all the legos have to fit in order for him to play, and that's unacceptable for someone who has been so highly touted for whatever reason. All I'm waiting for, as a Bryce "hater", is for him to not just make clutch plays once in a while, but to do it consistently and to lift up the team - because that's what a franchise QB is. That's not to say that I am not proud of what he showed today. He made several good plays, and really just one dumb play I can think of. If allowing him to be a game manager and bystander in order to "unlock" his potential so that I can see what these Bryce lovers see in him then I hope it happens.

damn yall, Bryce "hater" here but he delivered. Canales delivered with the right calls. RBs keep pounding. running out the remaining 9 mins left in the 4th quarter for the game winning kick shows this team is growing up.

so run defense improves but pass defense got worst

I can respect that

and I thought Joe Person was bad.

I bought into the $cam newton thing and that one uncomfortable interview thing Gruden put him through. But yeah, once he showed who he was against Arizona I was sold.

To be fair Cam had some lowlights as well, but boy did he have some extreme highlights starting with his first game in the league vs Arizona. BY9 on the other hand, oh wee mayne.

Sure, only in madden on rookie mode.

Look at what's happening now with the Bengals. Burrow is out and Chase and Higgins are "struggling" with Browning.

In the older games, when I got bored, I used to trade Cam to the Falcons, and rename/relocate the Bucs to another city which I took over. It was always fun going against Cam and beating the Panthers.

Defense played great, but they were playing against a QB that plays like ours. While I’ll enjoy the win, I also want to temper expectations.

every game we have to try to win with one arm tied to one leg. Young is the literal handicap.

Bryce only "turned it around" because Dowdle went for 200 yards rushing.

Bryce Young the philanthropist - reviving seasons, free stats, etc

Bryce Young Fans: the RB was responsible for the fumble

at this point, I miss that Phil Snow defense.

Looks like psychological fatigue from Tepper, and being forced to play a poor QB who can’t run a basic NFL offense.

The way to beat Young is how I play defense as a noob in Madden: engage 8 and press.

It feels like a lose-lose question: if he says he learned something, the media and fans will ask why he didn’t already know it. But if he says he learned nothing, we end up in the exact debate we’re having now.

It's too early to consider moving on from Canales, but replacing Bryce is long overdue. Bryce believers say that he thrives in improvising, but so far we've seen nothing but disaster when he improvises (interceptions, fumbles). I think that's why Canales is telling him to stop playing hero ball. With that out the window, he doesn't have the skills or abilities to compensate. I like their madden analogy. It perfectly explains Bryce.

to me, the second half of last season, post-benching. I thought he had turned the corner but it was just because we were out of playoff contention already at that point.

the only thing he's elevated is our draft position

Based on history I think this would push Bryce to play even more poorly as he doesn’t play well under pressure.

49er fans are insufferable...and now my wife is a bandwagon 49er AND Bryce fan (for no good reason) lol.

I canceled Sunday Ticket after 10 years of faithfully following the team while living in California. A change at QB1 will probably be the only thing that will entice me to resub. Until then, I’ll just watch highlights to save my Sundays.
