We don’t know how Rico will look the next 9 games. Well, maybe against the Saints. But people are goi g to commit resources to stopping him now that they have seen what we did with him.

I think those four games let the cat of of the bag. Two where Rico crushed it, two where Chuba didn’t and Rico still looked good. Probably have to eat some of Chuba’s contract. I don’t know how that really helps us.

Does that mean you think 20 will cut it?

I think I am saying they matured the last two or three years and wondering if we may start to see more guys that follow that pattern, than we used to. And I probably should have said couple of years to include Jones PS I also think that these guys get new OCs and some of them, like Darnold went through them like socks. It will stunt their growth short term but maybe in the long run it makes them more adaptable. They have seen so much different terminology etc.

You could probably capitalize and bold that ‘lot’.

Rumor has it that we were behind because of him in some of those and that one GWD he didn’t even throw the ball. I need to see him leave no doubt. He hasn’t gotten there. maybe he can. In this decade.

Still, how much better is a flawed Darnold than what we have been watching?

I wish he’d have finished that Jets game so we could see if he’d have sealed it or blown it. Both were in play.

I agree. I have seen them too. And seen the pretzel logic turning a game where he was pretty bad yet we some how still won, into GWD and big time throw stats and thinking they are dunking on us.

I am gonna say that when Bryce plays his best it doesn’t look like just anybody could do better. But a bad clock right twice a day. And that’s about as often as he plays like that. He has had a whole lot of games where he is awful.

“The Panthers think they are building something…..” Never mind that it looks like like Obama’s Presidential library.

Have a Tums.

Lots of facets to this. I am taking the calls but am keeping him unless the NFL gets into a bidding war, unless someone does a Tepper or a Mike Ditka.

Yeah. I was taking it in a health context didn’t even think about that.

yeah it is a waste if he doesn’t. In my mind besides the rest of the players developing also and maybe learning how to win a little, this year is totally about Young proving he is or is not

I was mentally prepared for it. And mentally prepared if Young actually showed I was wrong about him. I am not mentally prepared for hocus pokus-ing (pocus?) a string of mediocre outings plus one or two good ones turning it into another year of him starting. FWIW I read Person said Bryce took all the 1st team snaps today and it went well

Shh!

A little variation on tanking I guess. I already never really wanted to see Bryce again and after his brain dead outing on Sunday I never want to see Andy again either. Hell of a situation.

Seems like the landscape for college QBs is changing some of this stuff in a way that may not be really obvious. Because we have the last two or three years, more guys being redeemed. Is it possible they just aren’t as ready and that accounts for some later development?

Okay. I thought this was being used to imply that Dalton would be starting.

It seems that way. I agree on the game day stuff in general. I have other criticisms also. Or questions. I mean I could argue that Renfro should be active too, but I am accepting that it isn’t always fair. By that I mean BY is the one that can’t hit him. And prioritizing snaps for younger players is arguable but I haven’t seen a lot out of them either. Horn is more promising to me than Coker at this point but again, the QB play has been bad, and the running game has been more of a focus too.

Am I missing some secret coded message here? Is BY9 participating in QB drills too, or is he not?

So because Dalton is in pads, that means he is playing again?

That hardline approach doesn’t always serve best interests in real world situations. I get it. The whole uproar over essentially giving Chuba an extra game to validate himself doesn’t really move the needle much with me. I was irritated along with most people when Chuba came out on the first series against the Bills. Just think it is being overblown in service of the argument against Canales There wouldn’t be an Andy situation if not for Bryce and that whole clusterfug. I never have liked it but I never have liked having Bryce under these conditions. Circumstances. That poo is coming from ownership and a coach that would buck that is a coach that would not have been hired. IOW it would probably be the same with Canales replaced, unless Tepper said it wouldn’t. And if not Andy then some other non threat.
