I'm listening to this right now.

It was the worst pro football I have seen since the old Tampa Bay Bucs with John McKay. I am not sure Bryce could make that team. Actually, now that I think about it; in those days, he would have needed an ambulance.

The sky is bluer, the grass is greener.

The personal feelings thing is overblown I think. There is a lot of frustration. I don't think people want him punished or anything, just off the field with that kind of quarterbacking. He doesn't translate as he is currently configured. We have all been watching it fail. There may not be anything he can physically do to make things enough better that he gets his dream. Not everyone does.

Brooks could be one of those guys if he comes back healthy and strong. Wallace needs to be thrown in sink or swim and just play. he'd learn that much faster. It'd be hard for him.

And the whole yearly waffling QB parade was pretty ridiculous.

Oh God yes. Over Bryce? I hate to say it but I've seen nothing to dispute this: put him up against any signed UDFA. May the best QB win. It'll be close.

I took a two year break where I just read the scores and didn't listen or watch. Tepper just took a lot of the fun away I didn't want Rhule, it was just ...break time. So I missed whatever Darnold people complain about. What I saw in 2022 was almost there and had the tool set. Not slow. Tall, great arm, was rooting for him and thought if Wilks stayed and Darnold stayed maybe they could be pretty good. I don't have the scorn for him that a lot of people do. I suppose I'm rooting for him but you know, fug Minnesota totally. Except when they play the Saints lol.

His (Bryce's) seemingly complacent and nonchalant ass has just had a big time wakeup call. You are going to get his best. Whatever that is.

As far as players coming here... build something someone respects and things change. It only takes a few of the right people to get you going. Tepper needs to ice that damned turf and put grass in too. You want players to want to come here? That is a point in his favor, or a point off.

We need some emoji for "that's funny" cause it was funny.

Okay a kindred mind here... on this one. I believe he could have known from his eyes the same way we knew (but much sharper eyes). I believe he would go through the process of affirming his feelings in his postgame routine (of two weeks). Watch the tape with your OC, whatever. Everything else he did.

I considered that because someone else said the same thing. If you say 'I have to look at the tape" you are legitimizing the question of whether you are considering it. It gives it cred and the poo starts working its way down the wire that Canales says he is going to have to watch the tape, Bryce Young's career hanging by a thread etc etc you know how those fugers are. . At that moment he was the starter. End of story. edit: to the benching question, he should have been sat down last year. That had to be Tepper.

Yeah , agree. I made note of that too. They are just worthless. Dishonest but it helps their case so it's okay. If they do it.

WTF was he supposed to say right after the game? We don't know that the decision was yet made at that moment. I don't think it would have been.

Yes. And we should all expect some growing pains. I am going to try and look at it like, "well, he will learn from this. And we are one step closer to a higher pick" haha those are my standards for this season.

I wasn't ever that worried about him. I just knew for whatever reason they weren't going there in the draft or it figured pretty strongly they wouldn't. But I wasn't arguing that there would be no errant snaps. So far so good.

I'd have liked "Yes. Bryce. Well, for now he is still our 2023 1st round pick"

Canales told him what to do he isn’t doing it. That alone is cause for being pulled. 123 plant throw. He did it in the preseason. He may be able to adapt if he takes serious time and completely dedicates himself to rebuilding that tippy toe abomination into NFL worthy form. It is going to take him serious time to evolve into sound technique. He has to maximize what he has; he will never thrive doing the stuff his way. IMO. Those ducks.

So positive. He seems capable of being a no nonsense harass if he needs to be - that’s positive. Like much of what he is doing. He is a great communicator. The stuff I haven’t been crazy about, nothing has been critical yet. Some missteps here and there. He wins for me benching Young I thought we would have to watch that crap every Sunday. Or not watch. If he can gain Tepper’s respect and handle him, let’s go,

I was thinking if Dalton puts up some numbers and makes these WRs look decent they will forget about some little 5’10” bust by then. They are gonna think it won’t happen to them …

I don’t know. You guys have taken the easy ones. A’Shawn is becoming g a favorite of mine, he plays hard. Uh, we are so stacked a QB we have a former number one overall as our backup!

It was the entire justification for calling him an NFL start QB. There wasn't another. Every other trait was deemed 'good enough'.

I am with you on that. It was the motivation for me to start question his ability to play in the NFL, let alone be the top dog in a draft. That will slow you down and make you hold the ball. And run around like it's a playground. I don't think he is processing though at any kind of S2 speed. But you know what? I don't have to fuging live with him in my head any more and it won't long before I just close the book and move to the next one. So we aren't going back and forth over it, you can have all that opinion you want with no objections from me. We have lost so much time and assets messing with this guy... edit: he did work on that arm, in the sense that he triedt o change all his base and technique. And it looked like it helped his ball flight, but he bailed on it 15 minutes into the first game. It is just too far gone to change.

I am out of beers and pie. I feel you. Taikng a break from it for a few days maybe even a couple of weeks until the next shoe drops.
