I remember when we had this same conversation with Baker Mayfield.

I remember when we had this same conversation with Sam Darnold.

I remember when we had this same conversation with Teddy Bridgewater.

We finally fixed our o-line. Lets not try to get cute. Good teams play their players.

Honestly I feel like we should keep BY regardless if we draft a QB #1 next year. I'm tired of us throwing out QBs just to see them get good after they leave.

Amazing work. Really!

No. IR'ed till 2026

I just hope he can come back... man we need his abilities on this offense.

I really like our rookie class this year..

Just an appreciation thread.. Dude is covering so well you hardly see him on the TV copy.. they just dont want to throw his way. Only 6 receptions allowed all year.. plus one INT. One of the best in the game.

Been some discussion that if BY doesnt play well we move on from him. But if we dont draft a QB who is that vet that we bring in? Not a lot of great options but would Tua or Mac Jones be on the short list of failed vets to bring in to our "QB fixer" Head Coach?

I mean.. statistically is harder to go 0-3 than 1-2.. so... LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thats fair.

Yeah, and... NFL stands for NOT FOR LONG and that applies to coaches and GM's. If your a coach that has a bad team and is on the hot seat, you are not going to say that you are going to build the roster and NEXT year draft the QB (unless you are the Steelers) You draft the QB this year and that likely buys you an extra year before getting fired. The NFL is a instant gratification sport. Some teams (very few) take the long term, approach but even that doesnt always work. Ultimately its down to the player. We had a crap team and drafted Newton and we were instantly competitive. We drafted Young (whom I still support) and it seems we need to built a team around him. Frank did have a plan. Hell we had the most expensive coaching roster in the NFL. Everyone was singing our praises about the supports we put in place. Yet on game day there is only one person behind center.

Part of all of this is Canales needing to look out for his job as well. I completely expect him to be here next year but next year could be the year he gets fired if he doesnt improve things. So if BY doesnt improve significantly, I would expect to see a new QB here next year. Canales job will determine on how the QB position plays next season.
