Plain and simple, the guy plays scared. Can't win like that.

One completion over 10 yards and that barely was so.

The bold I will agree with. Ickey struggled because of the revolving door at IOL, being put on a island with no help and with a rookie QB who held onto the ball too long that also flushed himself into sacks. Ickey had his own struggles, but they weren't isolated and were a result of dysfunctional, under-talented, beaten up, supporting cast.

Ah, the ol' college tape. Still hung up on that are ya?

Passing for 2 TDs and moving the offense for 27 points isn't too bad for the backup in his first action of the season. You know, for the guy that hardly gets any first team reps and usually just hold a clipboard. ZERO picks in those 58 attempts as well. Has Bryce ever gone a span of 58 passes without a pick?

I'm not even expecting a win, just wanting a competitive football game. Wow, how low my expectations have fallen. lol.

At Seattle last year.

Frank Reich be like:

A few games earlier than I thought, but after yesterday, it had to be done. If Bryce had passed for over a 100 yards and manged a passing TD, he probably survives another week.

Look at last year in a road game at Seattle (tough stadium) with a poo supporting cast. Arguably the best the offensive game last year.

The entire OL had issues last season, mostly due to interior line play. The reason Morgan overspent on two guards. My point is Ickey took most of the flack for Bryce and the OLs failures. With a revamped interior, Ickey looks just fine, but the offensive struggles still continue.

Great vets, no. But good ones, yes, there will be plenty. Anything approaching .500 football would be a breath of fresh air. That all starts with simply competent QB play.

FA is where I'm at. That or we pick from either Baker Mayfield or Teddy Bridgewater clones in the draft. I'll pass on those.

How are you a sub-60% completion QB when your adjusted net yards per attempt is 3.44???? Fug that barely 10 feet!!!

This is brutal, even the few Young holdouts have to cringe at this.

Morgan has to know that BY is not the future and start planning for 2025. Free up cap space by cutting dead weight or trading them. For the rest of the guys, put in Dalton and get nearly a full season of tape on the ones you plan on being on the 53 man roster next fall in competitive games this season. You can't evaluate an ineffective offense due to a bust QB and defense that's worn out because of all the 3-and-outs.

The OL will eventually allow an Ole` to a pass rusher so Bryce can get a good enough slobber knocker to "allow" an IR excuse. We should take bets on which one does it. I'm thinking Moton.

At least now we know Ickey wasn't the problem last season. Hopefully we can salvage at least one first round pick.

But the OL!!!! I mean they can block and all, but they are too tall!!!!

You can't tell me, in no particular order, that: Darnold, Brissett, Fields, Jones, Wentz, Garoppolo, Rudoplph, Heinicke, Rush or Wilson wouldn't be an IMMEDIATE upgrade over Gerber.

I don't see it that way. What's rough is another year of Bryce or some two bit rookie. There's not a franchise QB in this coming draft. Sorry, there's not.

https://overthecap.com/free-agency Tell me there's not at least 10 dudes on this list that would could make this team very competitive. (Filter QBs)

If I had to choose, it would be between Ward and Ewers. Even then I'm iffy. The rest won't make it in the NFL--as productive starters anyway.

Bridge QB. Too many quality veteran QB will be available in FA that would want a shot to still start and don't want to wet nurse a rookie. Plus, this QB draft ain't it.

I'm not crazy about this QB draft. I think we go the veteran bridge route to the '26 draft. After two years of BY, I couldn't stand another year of baby steps.
