To your point of the unknowable future.. being lapped by NO on the QB hunt is really disturbing to me. Swept too. Absolutely we could be on the outside looking in, in the future. So I say Win and get the playoff game. I am expecting it given the pattern this year. But if I had assurances that Bryce would be gone if we lost Sunday, where do I sign up? I mean, talk about addition by subtraction… boom.

Burns did kind of quit on us. I forgot about that.

That is the worst part of it all, he would not be a tough player to upgrade. But we’ll sit in this mess another year. At least.

Good one. Can you imagine if we lose Saturday and the league has to wait on Atlanta to play their game a day later?

I mean would you find it useful to subdivide the over 19 yards stuff into some categories? Lot of ways that could be divided and give you some more accurate pictures than lumping everything that basically isn’t a short pass into one bin. Defining short medium intermediate long deep from 0 to 40 or 45 seems to offer far more detail out of your numbers than what they do now. That is one thing I learned thanks to Bryce - the 20 yard deep ball rule. I never ever considered 20 yards a deep shot, in my life. And everyone is talking about his deep ball… and it’s a 20 yard pass. I definitely rebelled.

I have played that game and it was looking good until I looked up and Fitterer was still in the picture, and I didn’t know how to get him out without the big Bryce fug up

Some of us consider Bryce fatal. As in, you catch a case of him and it doesn’t matter what you do you can’t live with it. Feeling like that compels us to show mercy to the victims and hold back on the judgement. I got that. I got Canales was nowhere near ready and his entire first year was a free ride. I got 8 maybe 9 wins - with Bryce Young as my QB. Couple more things. I got things on the bad side too, like his culture, not sure about it. Soft. The insistence in play calling when you have so much on your plate already… is that wise? Probably not. PS I think that was some concession that resulted from separating the defensive responsibilities and leaving that with Evero because how does such a longshot hire get that kind of clout to have a token OC and really be HC, OC and play caller? I would prefer to see him with an acceptable QB at his disposal before running him off. But if he has to go to get Bryce out of here, I won’t argue.

It looks to me like he is still working on getting those numbers down. He may end up the sole caretaker of that record.

I remember hearing that Blank was blindsided and the Raheem Morris and Fontenot the GM were meeting with him to explain and plead their case. I don’t know if that is true - it sounds crazy - but I would have fired them on the spot if they did that without telling me. Meddling owner criticism be damned.

That was the stupidest draft decision next to our Bryce selection in quite some time. You have just signed a vet to a huge deal to be your starter and you go top ten with another QB?

I have one in particular in mind that has escaped mention here but it’s too easy. I’ll see if anyone includes ‘him’. Hint: another turd pile distributer.

Ha thanks. I was going for biblical-like.

So… if the Falcons win out, we can’t lose no matter what we do Saturday? I hate to count on that but I also hate to count on the Panthers to not be the Panthers. I have no problem rooting for Atlanta under these circumstances. Rise up!

Don’t fool yourself. This is normal. One or two of the braver ones will be active with the excuses, and telling us what bad people we are to not give him a chance or tell us to go root for another team…. When he has his next non damaging/okay/decent/very good outing there will be a virtual message board parade. Turdpiles will fall on the words of the doubters like raindrops in a hurricane.

Give me Lawrence all day, every day, if it is equal money.

I saw someone say Horn has had a rough time since his concussion, and think there may be something to that. Just a little out of sync, a little gun shy on the head on tackling, I can see it. He is a three and four down player I don’t see Burns as that. I just take the Rams’ offer for Burns and keep Horn and Sam and DJ and all those picks that we sent off for a big nothing.

Obvious now and obvious then. It was 100% a salvage Bryce assignment. If you took it. Tepper, and Bryce. Yeah, if I have other options I don’t pick up the phone.

They will view winning as validation.

What are his strengths? So I know. This is what I have… Good at healing a bad ankle. Good at dump offs and under ten yard throws. Hands off okay. Can gain some yards on the ground. Can make some nice lofted touch passes, on a good day. Has a few good days a year Doesn’t get himself arrested for stupid poo, no bad headlines. Trying to be charitable. I don’t see what we are doing that does not play to his strengths. What strength am I missing that we should be building around, that we aren’t?

Well, come on, who are the other two?

Looking at that chart… everything under ten yards and almost half behind the LOS. 3 attempts over 10 yards. One pick. One inc. one complete. What are you supposed to do as the play caller? More ten yard and over attempts? I really hope they are just playing the hand they have to play, and faking any optimism and hiding behind coach speak until they are eliminated… and in reality they know that we cannot stay on this path another season. But I don’t believe it.

I have said that about Morgan in his playing days looking at facing Bryce, he would be licking his chops. To present a case for Dan having some sanity. I mean no way a real player would fear him, right? But I am not sure any more.

Bryce is progressing at the same rate the ocean is rising. Which sea level is up 8-9 inches in around 150 years. Think how much better he’ll be in two years. Three years.

When he was benched, they put their lil tails between their legs and admitted he was bad. Next thing out of their mouths was excuses why.

I feel like we are doomed win or lose. So win. But if I KNEW that we could be free from Bryce with a loss? Well, I don’t know that so it is moot.
