Would you trade Bryce for him tomorrow straight up?

Caleb would have drowned here like Baker, Sam, and Bryce (so far).

I think he has had 3 game winning drives in there 3 wins. Pretty impressive, but I agree with the whole settling the score thing. He asked Wilks to release him once he was benched for Darnold and Wilks did him a favor and did it. There is no grudge to be had there.

55 pass attempts? He wants to see Bryce attempt passes there should have been plenty of looks from 55 pass attempts in one game. I’m not saying they were good or bad just plenty of attempts.

Look man you are going to have a hard time convincing me that a team missing 2 WRs and 2 OL needed to step back and air it out against a team that has been playing very well rushing the passer after getting a strong lead. That is just bad football in my eyes. He aired it out all day last week. There will be plenty of tape for us to look at.

It’s week 3 and any team would be playing to win. Bryce be damned we have to start developing a winning culture. Losing a week 3 divisional game because you wanted to evaluate your QB is a good way to get fired. There are other players and coaches in this team that want to win. Also another way to evaluate Bryce is to see how he performs in games that matter. In order to have these games you need wins.

You play to win. Dropping back and passing over and over against a team whose strength is pass rush isn’t a good idea. We needed to get our running game back in sync. Hopefully we accomplished that today. I mean we also had 24 pass attempts abd 30 rush attempts in a game we won by 30. That’s pretty balanced all things considered. Honestly I think you just wanted TMac to get a lot of passes which I can understand.

You could say the same thing about us the first 2 weeks. That’s just part of the game.

Again we gifted them a FG with a dropped punt and they returned the gift with a missed FG. The FGs were also from 49 and 55 yards out. This is all part of the game. Also we have been struggling with our running game so far this season. That and keep in mind ATL’s strength is their pass rush so of course we are going to run it more if we are able to. Our game plan was good and worked out fine.

He missed some passes he should have made. Definitely rushed some throws due to the blitzes. He didn’t turn it over or lose the game for us, but he also wasn’t the reason we won. I’d give Bryce a wash for the game. Played within the gameplan and had some nice drives with a couple meh ones.

We beat them handily. As bad as we have been it’s worth celebrating. It’s just because we didn’t air it out and throw a bunch of TD passes making it look less dominate. We stuck to our gameplan though and it seemed to work. It doesn’t mean we are that much better than them I get that. I mean the Browns beat GB. However today, during our first home game, we were the better team while missing our RG, C, DT, Edge, and WR2. Yeah our passing offense needs some work but hopefully these new weapons in TMac, Brycen, and HR get worked in better as the season progresses.

Scott didn’t start?

I remember seeing Penix struggle in the playoffs in college because he was constantly pressured and not playing a PAC12 defense. If you can keep pressure on him he becomes pretty bad.

We gifted them one of those FGs with a dropped punt so I wouldn’t give the Falcons much credit for the first one. We also kept Penix from getting comfortable. Evero was dialing up some blitzes and it worked.

Hard to hate on the HC after a dominate win. We were coaching circles around ATL even after the muffed punt opportunity. Bryce didn’t do much but he didn’t have to so I call it a wash for him. No turnovers is an improvement I suppose.

Lee Ziemba was Cam’s LT. I think we drafted him in the 7th or maybe he was a undrafted rookie we signed. Regardless he didn’t make it very long in the NFL.

Ward, then the prior year was Bo Nix, and Jayden Daniels.

What’s going on with Clemson??

Agreed. You heard the man lock it up!

It's a shot in the dark like it is with most QBs. I just know he has played in the NFL for what 4 years now? Learned under Shanahan, McCarthy, and now Harbaugh. He has has 143 attempted passes and 65 carries in this league during the regular season. He checks everything you want physically. It could be a fun option to watch while we keep building this roster and look at drafting a future QB. I still wouldn't hold my breath on it but it's interesting and a cheap option.

He has been a backup his last 2 stops. Here he would have a chance to start with a decent OL and having TMac helps. If he ever wants to make a lot of money he is going to have to be a starter somewhere.

I'm not against bringing in Trey Lance honestly. He has sat for a while under several different solid coaches and he is still only 25 (turns 26 in May). He has every physical tool you want and I'd like to see what Canales can get out of him. I mean he got the Niners to take him at 3 who typically know what they are doing, they just stumbled into Purdy while he was out.

He set a record in 2023 with 103 tackles becoming the only DL in league history with over 100 tackles. Also a majority of DB's tackles are happening at the LOS like this. He is absolutely worth the money and people hating on him just have some misplaced anger at this point. There are plenty of things to be disappointed with currently about this team and DB is not one of them. Imagine having actual decent LB play behind this man.

How many QBs hit from any school? I've seen these arguments a lot but honestly so few even hit that it looks bad for most. Recent history on UNC for example, Mitch bust, and Howell was at one time a 1st rounder dropped to 5th and is now on his 3rd team, so maybe the Pats shouldn't have drafted Maye? Nah you never scout the school. Even the ones you mentioned are outliers in their own schools. Baker was dominated for a pretty dominate school, but I can't think of many Oklahoma QBs aside from him. It takes so much for these guys to find success. Clemson had Watson and then he fell off mentally, Lawrence isn't living up to his hype, Cade is struggling before he is even drafted, Whitehurst and Boyd never did anything, and Dantzler had to change positions.

OSU only has a a couple 1st rounders, Haskins- didn't look good but career was cut short, Fields- Bears about ruined him, and Stroud who looks legit.
