It's like he did, at first. Then when poo got real it was time to get real with Bryce.

They have scored 8 fewer points than we have but given up something like 91 fewer points. I haven't looked deeper than the standings so maybe they really are worse.

My first response was 'both can true' - then I remembered that practice is where Bryce usually looks best.

Again, there someone goes with the 'ifs' only being favorable. Nothing about 'if' they'd have taken advantage of his mistakes there were turnovers there. 'If' is fine, but cherry picking them should not fly.

They think they have a way to use him, and he is on a rookie deal for 2.5 seasons. Doesn't kill them to FAFO. Johnson can help you more, short term, so it is worth risking his attitude going south if you might be playing for something that matters in January. Or want to get there. Both of them probably are in places that are good fits.

I would be wary of it holding up at all if he comes back too soon. Too bad because that stack of Diontae Thielen Legette Coker Sanders, with some games under their belts, might have been pretty good.

It is about Tepper if you ask me.

I am good with the idea of a decent vet and a nice roll of the dice on a non top 5 QB, and another, and so on until one clicks.

He is actually making Young earn his playing time. Like, you got an opening, do something with it, or sit down and Andy will go back in. Yeah the way he was treated, handed the job again after that first year, I seriously disagreed with that. I get why they wouldn't (bring in legit competition), but it goes to why I didn't want to draft him anyway. Years of time invested in a very limited player. I didn't have years I wanted to give him.

I am afraid no doubt regarding Young and his future, and the role Tepper may have in deciding it. Like hoping against hope there is no year three of Bryce Young. Because he ain't it. I feel like, let's get the Bryce issue out of the way and put Canales to work on the real job ahead. I do not feel like spending more time in the jr olympics is gonna be productive on any meaningful level. Re Canales... I took the stress burden out of play by issuing a free pass to Canales for being out coached in his first year along with a myriad of other potential pitfalls these young coaches have to navigate. Whatever, show me that you can learn from it.

They wouldn't activate him if they weren't going to put him on the field. I was thinking post bye week, sounds like that is what might happen.

Yet a couple of games back, was it Chicago or Washington, maybe both but his 'blocking' led to tackles for loss and sacks and stuff. I am happy for him if he got it right once.

I an not a Morgan sucks poster but if they put Brooks on IR for the year it is a major black mark. They fuging better not have taken a guy that can't see the field his entire first year..

You can dog any player but when you get to Bryce, it is hating. Hunt deserves poo for that, he should be embarrassed and I bet he is. Hopefully that woke him up, opened those eyes.

Speaking of Shaq, I was watching some video of him from 2022 and he looked good. So much better than what we have on the field now. I do think he has maybe lost a step, half step, but it was a big loss.

We were in lock step on Young. I never thought he had the goods and a 'fix' will only get him somewhere close to where he is now. I'd say he still has a little ceiling left but not too much, he is very close to it. The thing about TMJ/Mingo not developing, people have been dogging them as wasted picks. Is he supposed to develop wasted picks too? It isn't a real consistent narrative. Kind of like trap logic. Hmm, give him an undoable job and then fire him for not doing it.

I thought it looked bad when it happened.

I don't see the Wallace speed ratings on the field. Not once have my eyes been drawn to him from any suddenness or explosiveness. Kind of like looking for a flash out of Bryce Young last year. I am aware that he is a rookie and his recognition and processing will be slower but if you don't close ground once you have finished recognizing and processing I worry about it. Now this, I think, disregards the new offensive staff's experience with WRs and their influence on who gets added. It isn't the old staff people and they are the offensive deciders, Morgan shouldn't be exerting his will over people whose focus has always been offensive football, and I don't think he will try to do that. We'll see, but the two we added this year don't look like busts.

Been saying this, it fits here: the guys running the offense have their roots in WRs. We should get different evaluation moving forward. I think the XL pick had helping Bryce as the top priority, but it is looking okay. The Coker acquisition shows they are competent at least. I am more a cynic than an optimist but think some optimism is in order at least on that count.

I think the worst thing you can do is rate them strictly against college competition. You have to look at their game and superimpose it over the NFL template. Short version, his didn't fit at all.

Thielen hasn't been on the field, so him not getting interest tracks with the facts (as in, lack of any proof he is healed). If we had anyone left I'd be okay with just releasing him if he wants to leave but we are so thin now.

If I can make fun of my own team, and I do... I am fine with making fun of any team. Equal opportunity.

I can't really find anything out about it elsewhere. As of about 15 minutes ago anyway.

I was just saying Vick because he was very difficult to defend. Not as difficult as Young, or even close, IMO. edit: and just thinking if Morgan had an opinion something like his game experience would influence it. At the same time, I don't think anything he might have had to say would have changed anything. I guess it's more me saying that I don't feel like he would have been all in in on Young. Really, at the same time, I don't think he had a lot of influence on the pick.

No kidding. But he does have a background defending them including Mike Vick iirc. Looked it up, drafted the same year (2001). The thing that got me so much is these defensive guys like Luke putting praise on Bryce Young when you cannot tell me that he would not have been salivating to see him across the LOS. I do not buy their praise.
