This is a prime example of somebody that hates Young filling in the blanks themselves. Canales already stated that it does not give them a competitive advantage to tell opponents which QB they're starting until required. This has been consistent. Dalton did give them the best chance to win when comparing his first game this season to Bryce's first two. However, Bryce has as many wins in the last few weeks as Andy has had in the last two years. Saying Andy gives them the best chance to win given that data just doesn't make sense. He committed to Bryce this week. Last week the team was on a Bye with no opponent, therefore there was no commitment to make. By just using basic pattern recognition skills, it wouldn't have made sense for him to name the starting QB during a week when the team wasn't playing. People will see the signs that they want to see unless it's made crystal clear (and even then, they'll still choose to believe whatever makes them feel better). Joe insinuating that there are signs without actually pointing them out irresponsibly enables the behavior quoted.

Regardless of who is QB in 2025, claiming that there "are signs" only to not list anything that Canales has done to show that said signs exist is wildly irresponsible. Then again, it's Joe Person, the same beat reporter that needed David Newton to exist so that he was no longer the worst person covering the Panthers.

For the folks that haven't read the original article that led to the recent clickbait, here is the section being referenced: He points out that Canales didn't declare Bryce the starter and suggested that there were signs that he wasn't sold on Bryce... only to not list any of those signs. Some fans have decided to fill in the blanks themselves with whatever they want.

With the way the passing game has opened up, defenses are spending most of their time in nickel variations and trying to be more fluid with being able to show looks as either 4-3 or a 3-4 during a game. Regardless of what the base defense is, the team needs talent all over it. Edge rushers are priority #1 but the team also needs to find a true #2 CB, a young defensive lineman to pair with DB (and offset his contract), and intelligent safeties (Evero's defense depends on this and all but Richardson iirc are on expiring deals this season).

The Carolina Reaper strikes again!

Good luck with... whatever it is. It's one thing to want the team to get better draft positioning, but it's another to completely disregard reality for the sake of arguing.

So you're going to tell Robert Hunt to phone it in against the Giants because you want to be one spot ahead in the lotto ticket line? Good luck with that.

Yea, not the best top 10 for sure. It'll be interesting to see if they go for immediate starter or a developmental prospect in the first two rounds.

What in the world is wrong with saying that you took a vacation for a week to decompress after a rough year at work and that during said week you watched YouTube, Netflix, and hung out? He said himself that it lasted one week, but that part is ignored in favor of people being angry and trying to find more reasons to dislike the pick. That makes no sense to me whatsoever. Even if he was the worst QB of all-time, the man should be allowed to have a week of peace.

People acted as if he didn't do any offseason work and just watched Netflix. Let's not pretend that wasn't the case. They spun it as if Bryce watched Netflix all offseason the same way folks have spun the AR quote as if he were saying it's easier to play against NFL players rather than with them.

He's being misinterpreted the same way Bryce was when he said he took a week or two off to watch Netflix and decompress. Here's the full clip: He said that he feels like the NFL is easier because everybody is good and trying to stay employed versus being in college and having guys on the field with you that aren't that confident. They don't have to do it all by themselves like in college, they can depend on their teammates in the NFL.

In 2022, drafting #2 overall gets you CJ Stroud instead of Bryce Young. Your turn! How do you get the team to tank?

Was curious about this since I've seen a couple of Huddlers (not you) blame the 60+ sacks last season solely on Bryce. For anybody that would like to review all of the plays that Bryce Young has been sacked on this season, click here (NFL Pro, will need an NFL+ account iirc?). 1st sack: Took place in week 1 vs. NO in Q2 with 13:08 remaining in the half on 3rd & 10 from the CAR 41. Ball gets snapped, Saints blitz 7 and the CB comes off of the edge unblocked. Before somebody tries to say that Bryce should've thrown it to Mingo, Mingo didn't turn around for the ball until Bryce was already sacked as he was running a corner route. 2nd sack: Takes place with 1:45 left in the second half. 3rd & 6 from the CAR 19. Saints blitz five and the DB flies passed Robert Hunt untouched for the sack. 3rd sack: Comes @ 5:49 in Q3. 2nd & 3 from NO 3. Bryce has to scramble to the left as nobody is open to the right and there are defender in the backfield. Scrambles OB at the 3 but they credit it as a sack for Demario Davis who chased him out. Can't blame Bryce for this one as Diontae was casually strolling into his break when the defenders collapsed the right side. 4th sack: 12:14 left in the game, 3rd & 8 @ CAR 34. Saints CB Alontae Taylor notches his third sack of the game by running through a chip block from Miles Sanders. 5th sack: vs. Chargers, Q1 6:22, 3rd & 5 from CAR 33. LAC sends six and the DB immediately beats Chuba to flush Bryce out to his left just as JT Sanders starts to come across the middle of the field. Bryce has to roll to his left and sees Adam Thielen streaking down the middle of the field with the safety rolling left to help the CB with XL but gets sacked beforehand. Even though Chuba got beat to start, Bryce took a little too long recognizing and winding up. There is more than a fair argument to say that this sack is half on Bryce as he could have kept scrambling upfield to leave the team within field goal range or recognized Thielen coming up sooner, but it's difficult for me to put it all on him as Chuba getting beat to start set everything in motion. 6th sack: Totally on Bryce. Held the ball too long and didn't try to get it to a couple of guys that were NFL open. No question. Conclusion: Bryce was only responsible for 1.5 - 2 of the first 6 sacks this season. Primary culprits imo were failed blitz pick ups by the RBs (twice) and a new OL that didn't get as many preseason reps as they might have needed to gel.

No disagreement here that higher numbers means bigger splashes, but as illustrated with the Cousins example that doesn't necessarily always translate to dubs. I understand that in Bryce's case that the stats have not been there and need improvement (not disagreeing with this either!), but perhaps the biggest issue with Bryce was the decision making. That was what was advertised as his way of uplifting his game where other QBs might rely on their legs, howitzer for an arm, or in some blessed cases - both. But what in the world is the point of holding 129yds passing against him when the run game put up 183yds in a win? Including 30 from Bryce? Yea, the Giants blow and the dub doesn't mean that Bryce is the guy, but playing a clean game and getting the win over a bad team is what he's supposed to do... isn't it? I'd love to see him air it out for 300+ by dropping bombs on defenses as much the next fan but if he's got an efficient, mistake free game that puts the team in position to win that's a positive. If he has to have 200+ passing yards even if Chuba's rattling off 150+ rushing yards then let's set it as the threshold rather than constantly moving arbitrary goalposts. Related: are folks really trying to push this "the team won in spite of Bryce" narrative when he had done his job and the defense just needed to hold off Daniel Jones?
