Yeah. Pretty much a new dynamic now. New paradigm as they say. I don't know what is coming. It will be more damned fun that that torturous poo we were looking at. Thinking it is about Canales, the rookies, and the evaluation of what is here. I'd support throwing a lot of potential QBs against the wall behind a vet or some kind of retread, if Canales looks like he can carry his weight with the design and playcalling. Which we haven't see much of that at all. That's about to change. Sort of like, going down the list. Okay, that isn't working.. let's move on and focus on what else we can get done. QB I have said often enough to take flyers on later round QBs when the opportunity is there. Overall we need to let the season play out because in 16 weeks it will look different that we think, looking at it from here. That goes for the college season too. So let's let stuff tell us then if we want a QB early or what we want to do.

Which, you really don't get in these preseason games. Or when they won't go all out in a scrimmage. I didn't see the one last year but all the word, I heard. I gave it a lot of weight and then saw the environment they had around that scrimmage and it didn't seem like the huge test I thought it was. You just don't get the real speed until real games. That's kind of what his rookie season was supposed to teach him. I am sideways with the people bitching hard about the preseason strategy, being that I looked at the whole year as training that would be an ongoing thing all year. Was resigned to it. Now as to the preseason format itself, it really is a new arrangement and it makes a difference I believe, you can keep doing things the old way or can you can rethink it. They have their routine where each game is approached as a step by step thing where there are different goals for different weeks. Now you have 3 preseason games not 4 so which game do you leave out? How do you best adapt? It is ripe for a new approach so I don't mind some experimenting with so little on the line, I mean we went into the season with people saying 4-5 wins. So big deal about that preseason, in the big picture. That's a 1st world problem to me.

No magic 8 ball over here but I think if people chill and leave Canales alone to make his rookie mistakes, which no one wants to do even after the benching, we are going to start the gradual climb back up the hill. If the fanbase just wants more blood and goes off on the staff yeah it won't be good, but it is just more of the same.

I think we have. We might bounce along it for a while but you really can't get lower than those first two weeks. I still have optimism that we are doing the right thing moving on from the QB. Let's see what else we have on offense. He couldn't show us.

That's where I was. I mean, how much good did that Buffalo series do? It showed that Canales had worked with Young to rebuild his footwork and throwing routine. That's something that is good to see. But the first game, that lasted almost a quarter. If you look at his form in the second game, it is completely not good. It ranged from looking caught in the middle with maybe a 80/20 blend of his old with a little nod to the new form, to him not even trying to stick to the techniques. That shows you that it isn't happening. He isn't Frank Sinatra and can't do it his way and make it. Never gonna happen. His last hope is sitting out and having his come to Jesus moment and buy in 100% to fixing his drops and footwork. And then do it.

I haven't read all the thread but my answer is, maybe they did. I mean, Vegas is getting hurt.

We were short on TEs, now we are not? Seems like they like him a lot. Maybe there is another opportunity for him out there.

Wonder if Matthews goes elsewhere. One more week of first dibs left.

Darnold seems to me to belong to the Jets, and isn't all the way back yet. I thought he looked like he the potential here, but he got to sit a whole year after here. We about to see with him this year.

Ask me in a couple more days let's see what the rumor mill coughs up. Maybe call Denver lol.

Sounds to me like people are saying all these things without looking again at their original assessments to see what they missed. Nah, more excuses for Bryce. They can't face their mistake and won't admit it. If only skilled football people feel the same, we could get a real nice return for Bryce. Who thinks that's gonna happen?

Couple of reactions I had were I look at it as a sign maybe he has admitted the obvious. Also No one knows if he agreed or instigated which would be a big difference.

Yeah. I don't. I use them for their film. I do look for myself before I start yapping hard about something.

Bro I don't sweat much but the 1st rounder. It was the magnitude of the trade that forced me to pay attention.

Maybe Canales is like a young untrusted with potential. If he makes a good decision his trust index rises. Wrong move, it falls. He has to show enough to get the keys. This is the right decision in every way, besides securing the number one pick which it likely will not do. It could take a while.

Parrots and mockingbirds, and vultures. I almost forgot the vutures.

Yeah and the scramble to decide whether to double down or give it up is on in the media and observer-verse. There is a lot to learn and file away for the future by watching what they say now. And i don't mean just Bryce Young. In general

They lie. I mean, they should have seen it and didn't. So downplay because that is their paycheck. Their perceived credibility is more important to them than the truth. Pretty much.

"They" is like media and stans. I heard so much of Bryce Young Drew Brees cope, oops comp, and finally looked hard at Brees. Even after watching him kill us for years I probably didn't know his height weight etc. They aren't a physical comp at all.

Oh poo wait. Certain angles in that whole thing had escaped me. Not unusual. I do buy the Russel Wilson aspirations because I always thought he was lucky as hell and Bryce's ceiling is pretty much depending on being lucky as hell. So set him up the same way.

Oh yeah. I looked that up a few years ago; well acquainted. And what was the fulcrum on the Bryce propaganda? That's what I couldn't get.

Yeah the point you made in the paragraph is good. Just to focus on the staff issues that I think you are referring to, Bryce's 'game' throws variables into those coach's little world because he was a different puzzle they are bound to have different perspectives, leading to you know what. I don't know how to say it exactly but with a more conventional guy (CJ) these divisions may never have existed. poo is dynamic.

There are some excellent points in that post. It's just a sad situation for the little guy (meaning we fans not Bryce lol).

I know nothing but my formula would probably be something like... 1st, run the gauntlet of tools and evaluate each tool, you pass that then we move on to mentality. edit: you could probably reverse the order, still be good.

I guess I was finding those messages to be generic, maybe they were aimed at sending a message.
