He needs pull the rookie is what the needs to do. Right now, the kid is borderline broken.

Ability to change the plays is fine, but doing it as much as he does is overkill...pun intended. How many times did Cousins check out of a play today? Honestly, he has too much freedom to run this offense as a rookie. Frank needs to tell him to run the damn play that is called. Later in the year give him the latitude to change the play if need be. Crap, I'll be hearing kill, kill, kill in my sleep tonight I heard so damn much today from Bryce.

Yeah, he did draft Bryce, so you may be right about being a bad coach.

His size is exactly why and he knows it. The two pick performance and a couple of thumping hits is why dude is playing scared. I was told despite his size, he's mentally tough. He's not showing signs of it at all.

Just so Bryce can kiil, kill, kill them?

What???? I hope this is sarcasm.

Young is going to ruin Reich's tenure before it even really gets started. Dalton is no football savant, but we would at least be 2-2 if he were starting while the rookie sat a portion of the season. All things equal defensively on our side of the ball today, Dalton wins this game handily.

Yeah, sitting the #1 overall pick would have not gone over well. While I agree with sitting Young, 99% of the fan base would not.

I love to know if we were really FA QB market this off season or if Tepper was pushing for a rookie QB from the moment Reich was hired. Both Frank and Fitts had to know this was going to be a LOOooonnng season with a rookie QB. Was that a risk they were willing to take or was it a mandate by Tepper?

Question, would we still have traded up for Bryce Young? If so, nothing changes.

One assist tackle and one pressure for Burns on the day-- I think it was the same play to be honest where YGM got the sack. That's totally worth a $170 million extension!

He at least has accountability. Rhule would have said Thielen forgot he was supposed to be on the field.

Play clock: 5, 4, 3, 2 --Kill, kill, 1, 0, Kill, kill *snap* swing pass. Lol!!!!!!

Wow, this got unpinned quickly. I would want this thread to get buried as fast as possible too.

Lol, yup. They would take two top talents and still be garbage.

Young is too soft for the NFL, period. He got shell shocked much earlier than I even predicted. Heck, all it took was one twisted ankle and dude is mentally broken.

Yes./thread

Nah, that ship has sailed. Reich had the perfect out to get in the win column this week by saying Bryce could be out up to two weeks. This Vikings defense is bad and we made them look top-notch. At this point, let the rookie sink.

I know he played QB in high school, but he's a bit old now don't you think?

My bad, I actually had hope we would score. Should have known better. That being said, even with more time, it's not like we CAN score. We just proved we can't.

No trying to sound smart by changing every freaking play is his specialty. Hey look at me: "kill, kill...kill, kill." If I were Frank after this game, I take that discretion away from him.

TE wide open down the center of the field. Yes, short of the goal line, but maybe he can fight for the extra couple of yards.

Changed the play AGAIN!!! Dude, run the fugg'n play called and you won't have to snap the ball at zero on the play clock every time!!!!

Versus scoring quickly and giving the Vikings time to drive the ball? Not time for two possessions.
