He has looked genuinely bad minus a throw or two every game until this one... for someone who has been bashing our qb since day one basically, youre awfully high on this guy after one good game against the worst team in the nfl.

Its crazy to me that we are half a game from the division lead and just outplayed the best team in the NFL this season and so many people still want to 100% declare that we have a terrible qb AND terrible head coach. Im pretty sure both of those things cant be true in this situation. One of them may be. With our roster talent level it is basically impossible for both of them to be.

I think he has started to build a culture here. I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense. I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level. Based on our roster talent, we werent underachieving, we were just bad.

If they do that it will be a crappy vet, not a rookie. They aren't going to draft someone to back bryce up. Unfortunately.

Honestly he looked fine, but it also seemed pretty clear why hes averaging 3.6 ypc or whatever. He definitely looks a little less explosive. He looked a little more like the equivalent of a slot receiver thats good against zone coverage.

Its clear what they were trying to do. You know how when a team gets exposed by another team and everyone is like well thats the blueprint to beating them. The 49ers game before us they gave up an NFL record 47 completions to Jacoby Brissett of all people. I assume they thought if Brissett could dink and dunk pick apart the 49ers then our qb definitely can. Unfortunately they thought wrong on that part.

Canales has shown more than Bryce. Get rid of Bryce, bring in a FA and let him pick a qb in the draft that actually fits anything he wants to do. Bryce is the exact opposite of every scheme Canales has ever been part of. I think thats why he was so fast to bench him when he got here.

Most of you guys would be worse than Tepper if you were owners. He is 2/3rds of the way through his second season and we are half a game behind the division lead and have more wins than we have had in years. Has Canales done some dumb things? 1000% he has. Has he outcoached some coaches that are really good? Definitely, especially this season. All young coaches make mistakes and stupid decisions and have to gain experience. You cant just fire an inexperienced coach every year and a half Tepper wannabes.

He has definitely taken a huge step back this year after flashing a lot of potential last year.

I dont think Bryce is the answer either. Its just interesting that the people who always knocked any good Bryce metrics as metrics dont matter are the ones now pushing some of the least black and white metrics in dvoa.

It basically means the people who say any stats that show Bryce as decent are bogus are now going to say this stat means we are bad no matter what our record ends up being.

Great player, but also what made him a great player will always make him an asshole off the field.

Princely has got to be one of the worst players in the NFL as far as pff goes. He has been in the bottom 5 every week it seems like.

We should have sent a late round pick to the Giants for Jameis early in the year after Dalton looked terrible in the preseason. He is basically the exact opposite player of Bryce so at the very least it would have shone a light on how much or the problem with the offense is Bryce, or playcalling, or overall talent etc. It would have directly answered those questions even if Jameis was bad.

2.7 seconds is plenty of time for deep throws.

He has been on the bottom 5 for the defense in pff score almost every week it feels like.

Tools dont always matter. A lot of the players with the most athletic tools have been the biggest busts. Also, ive thought since before we drafted him that his tools are overrated. He ended up being 6'1 which isnt crazy for a possession receiver, especially with short arms and smallish hands. Then he ran a pretty good 40 and everyone lost their minds even though he intentionally skipped everything to show any sort of shiftiness or quickness. We need to go after some fast (but also quick) route running receivers.

How so? He didnt draft him, hes not the gm, and it looks nothing like any offense hes been a part of in the past.

For a team that has been so consistently bad it seems like every time we win a game we get big headed and overlook our next opponent somehow every single time. Its crazy to be a team that wins 5 games every year and still thinks they can overlook opponents every year.

The crowd that uses numbers and logic instead of emotions and feelings.

I definitely dont like it being set in stone, especially when your safeties are pretty weak in coverage. Its easy to manipulate match ups and have a situation like the Pickens game if the other team has the right type of receiver.

Yea its kind of weird. Horn doesnt shadow and always stays on the short side of the field.

Its crazy how many of the people downplaying Canales or outright bashing him for this game are the same ones who really wanted Wilks as head coach

There were a lot more decisions made today than just that one.

It definitely would have been pi if he had tried to go inside to the ball at all.
