Where did you get that nugget? I mean, was it published or did you get it through the grapevine.

They can’t keep padding his grades when he is that bad. They have to go with it or lose credibility.

I’ll concede that. That is sort of my red line. Any pro coach, evaluator, etc, that believed in that guy is blind afaic. But in Canales’ position, the player needs to believe that Canales is with him. Whether Canales himself believes or not.

You can Canales and you break any continuity, again. It is worth waiting a year too long, to try and keep that IMO. Especially when all he has been ‘given’ to work with is a bust that most people knew was busting no matter what. I don’t believe any coach can transform a player that is physically overwhelmed. And Bryce is physically overwhelmed.

I don’t know how long Bryce would hold loyalty without any production. He goes another week like Sunday people will get antsy. PS Heinicke for me out of those names. I’d have seen him play well.

Yeah. I mean, getting called out by Manning would either motivate you or the opposite, you’d get an attitude. I don’t know what XL responds to. Carrot or stick. I am thinking he has been getting the carrot.

Everyone can get better now, come on.

I noticed him for sure. I favor grabbing someone’s backup, that hasn’t gotten their shot yet. Over a draft pick. Now, both would really be ideal, import a ready to play backup and a drafted guy to school.

Leadership council… most coaches have vets in the locker room that are conduits and keep them informed of the vibe or problems, and also take whatever message the other way back to the team. The making it an official thing with a title is not really my favorite idea.

It is heretical language to some. We casual types can say it, we are just dumb. When Cosell says it they probably go looking for their pacifiers and blankies. Second consecutive week he dished that out. I wonder what it will be on the review this week.

I am betting someone on the OL given they got a lot of press for holding Parsons to no pressures for the first time in his career. Maybe not. But that would give you a big head. Also wonder if it was Rico… Can’t do anything but guess and it is a bad accusation if you don’t know. Scourton saying it, tells me it was on both sides of the ball.

Yeah. Some people need to be hit over the head, five times.

I was intrigued by Richardson’s toolset but after observing 2 years I want no part. My whole thing was I was anybody but Bryce. You could have thrown a dart at a list of QBs and I’d have been okay with it. Stroud was the obvious NFL passer.

There are several. The further we get from this past Sunday the more will come out from the woodwork. 5 or 6 that haven’t made the break, maybe more. It is so funny that they have to juvenile with the turds. Excuses and turds. Brycetards.

If there wasn’t, a couple of guys talking will create one.

It ain’t hard, you don’t need a mountain of convoluted stats to explain what you are looking at.

He was bad Sunday but I think you may be recency biasing here, he was horrid week 1 2024 and only a smidgeon less horrible the next week. But still really bad. Hopeless looking. That one was maybe close to Sunday but our defense kept us in the game longer (the other day). He sucks against the Saints apparently, and plays good against Atlanta lol. Watch him go out there and win the game Sunday. But if we see a repeat of Sunday again this week, geez who knows what will be done. If anything.

I think they are committed to giving him the rest of the games to prove he is worth then 5th year option. Fair plan. He can prove it in the negative with a couple more games like Sunday, and they may be free to try something or someone else.

I figured one of two things when White was released. He is moving to the practice squad (or maybe Hooker but why cut him?). Or they had eyes on another QB for the practice squad or maybe even a roster spot. If they bring White back the mystery add probably didn’t materialize.

Yeah. I am thinking someone’s backup. That isn’t a retread (like Dalton), preferably. Someone who has some tools and experience but hasn’t gotten a shot. If there is one of them around. You don’t have to wait three years to judge him, Canales can get his shot at coaching a guy he picked, maybe draft a flier too if there is someone we like. And the price wouldn’t be prohibitive. Or if it is don’t do it.

Trolling

He doesn’t have to have the fundamentals down to teach them. Old saying, those that can’t do, teach. I’d see college OC in his future if he stayed with football but he can easily buy himself a few fast food franchises, car washes, stuff like that to stay busy with.

Yeah it is along the lines of ‘fraud vitiates everything’, it just prevents an honest assessment. You got guys with some acknowledged issues, really swimming upstream due to the quality of the QB. I think back to game two this year when he got a lot of targets and was unable to do anything. When you look back nothing, or maybe one, was in a decent place for him to get. I think it was week two. And ‘a lot’ maybe be overstating but there were a few.

That jives with my theory of why we don’t have a younger backup that can push him, though not so much because the players see it but because the fans would make a fuss. Imagine right now if there were one of those on the roster….

I wasn’t sure how you meant that. I see the obvious slap. But I also thought that it could be meant to be representative of how Bryce sees himself, he is Cam in his mind as he winds up to throw. edit: like the meme of the little chihuahua picturing himself as a Doberman.
