At this point as fans I think we have to put any trade scenarios out of the realm of possibility. I feel like the only way we move on is a release and that is only contingent on him having a truly dreadful season. Unfortunately my gut tells me we are staring down the barrel of a long term extension so long as he has a marginally decent season. That's how far we've lowered the bar.

The 5th year option is $26.5 million fully guaranteed.

Well we better get used to this because Bryce just got a lot more expensive so we aren't going to be able to surround him with elite players who are perfect at all times and never make mistakes.

Guys it's a real priority to maintain continuity for the 27th passing offense.

Someone has already circulated the zoomed in picture and the ball is at his knees. I would have liked Horn to haul in that pass just as much as anyone else. But the throw absolutely could have been better. I'll never agree with anyone that says there was nothing wrong with the throw. The lack of consistent ball placement has been a point of contention here and for good reason. Regardless. I don't necessarily fault Horn here because as I said in previous posts he never should have been in that position. Whether it's Canales or Bryce that drive was unacceptable. We had 3 timeouts a decent amount of time to try and get in field goal range and we failed in pitiful fashion. Unacceptable.

Yay? I'm still waiting on someone to tell me what Brad Idzik actually does.

I think most people recognize that he is very talented and want him to pan out. He isn't a distraction or an asshat but he still does things he did as a rookie at times and there are also instances where you wonder if he wants to win a championship or just live the NBA life. Staying healthy is the key above all else though. Availability at this point is all that matters. That's still not looking good. Also as an aside I really don't like comparisons to Cam Newton in this instance because Cam Newton already was a confirmed winner when he came to Carolina and you never questioned his goal of that as a competitor. Truthfully LaMelo Ball and his brothers whether anyone likes it or not have never won anything of note and have largely looked like guys that just want the money and fame.

Shīt happens. Extent Yoshi and draft another tackle. We can't make panic moves over it when we already have the highest amount of salary cap in the league dedicated to the OL. We need more pieces on defense bad. Bryce Young is about to get the 5th year option. He's going to have to begin getting used to us having to make sacrifices.

The two people that voted for option 10 are probably Bryce Young's parents.

If Cam Newton had thrown a pass like that at the receivers knees with the game on the line in the playoffs we'd be hearing about it all offseason and it damn sure wouldn't matter that the WR was a rookie. No standards here anymore.

This iteration of the NFC pales in comparison to 10 years ago is what I am saying. If the Giants have a competent QB the pieces are in place for them to make a playoff run.

Giants are the best option for him all things considered. He could be a problem for the NFC which has weakened significantly over recent years.

If Tomlin or Harbaugh go to the Falcoms we are boned.

Fapping over QBR when our offense couldn't complete one single pass in 4 downs in our own stadium with 3 timeouts certainly fits with the just happy to be here vibe.

I looked back and marked the Packers win as something of what we assumed would be a turning point for us. I missed the game we split with the Bucs. So 3-5 in the last 8 is correct. Slightly better. But still not at all ideal for how I expected us to finish the season.
