I think yes absolutely that was the mandate. He wasn’t hiring someone like Frank that said they couldn’t fix him. I am gonna parse it the way I would discuss it with him, and that would be hey you know this is a tall order. I know what I am doing and will do my best and if he listens and does the work I can help him. But I can’t promise miracles and if he turns out to be a lost cause don’t blame me for it.

Said it before, I avoided his articles, interviews, pressers, all of it for a long time because I don’t want it personalized. I mean I knew nothing about him when I ‘scouted’ him and came to the ‘aw hell no’ conclusion in less than an hour. But you can’t avoid it forever, and I came to learn that he has great character afa I can tell, is a really good kid, and if he could play I would absolutely be a huge fan. God gave him everything but that NFL player gift. Sorry Bryce I can’t do it.

It is brutal alright. I hope we won’t argue over degrees of GTFO.

I would be more generous than that, and have never wanted anything to do with him. Poison pill that he is. I probably give maybe 4 actual good games and about the same number of okay, not his usual lose the game for us games. Out of 40.

this is true but like Bryce, a little mediocrity seems like a huge win. We could have and probably, no definitely, would have lost a couple of those ugly game in recent seasons. Apart from the specifics of the offense and the QB dysfunction, the team won those games. That is progress.

Get a guy that can run play action and has an arm. We’ll be ahead of where we are now week one.

Yeah, we are finding our level though. I would be surprised if we get 8 wins.

I thought Bryce did his job in the Dallas game for 4 quarters. He was not asked to do much but he did what he was asked. Then the Atlanta game where he was very good. I refused to crucify him for the Green Bay game despite his sub par ness not because we won, but primarily because of the horrible conditions. Canales was rightfully conservative I thought, when taking the ball out of his hands. I don’t have much else positive to say for him, he ain’t it.

If we needed to, usually an appeal allows him to play this week. might be better if the other guys are gonna be out.

I find the idea that Canales is the best we could do, valid. A lot of the reason for that is Bryce. You have to be desperate to accept that situation. Remove Bryce and dangle the opportunity to bring your own QB in, I think the candidate field expands.

So absent support for that, you decide we can’t upgrade from Bryce next year because no one else is going be better? If I mischaracterized what you just posted, apologies. But I find that unacceptable. To me this is ‘make a move even if it’s wrong’ time. We have have to do something different.

If a single one of them talks about Bryce staying with another coach, they are as wrong as wrong gets.

Me too. It was horrible and really is what is behind my nasty attitude and resentment towards the stans. Cancel culture nastiness from them on any questioning of the kid, or their SEC, Alabama, processor, point guard arm strength, mechanics, narratives. It didn’t matter what you had to show them. Didn’t want to hear it. No Negativity allowed. Go find another team to root for lol. idiot. Hater. Racist even. Despite wanting CJ lol.

It was already full retard the minute they decided to give all those picks up. It became criminal when you trade the WR that could help your young QB away. On a good contract too. WTF are you doing?

Well let’s just hope he is okay and will be able to return to the field, and it isn’t some Josey Jewel thing where he cannot. Hate it for him.

I am with you. They are going to drive me away if they go another year off of this recent Atlanta game. And I have been strong since we were awarded the team. It is just too much to tolerate.

Out of pie but agreed. I think I used defensive tackle but yeah. You just don’t do certain things at 1.1.

Me too. The first thing that will get me to turn against you is trading future 1sts for a draft slot. It is a rule and set in stone. And That is what they did with it? Insane

I should have been more precise. I don’t think there is a starting job in his immediate future. I would say never.. but never say never. But yes, someone could turn to him due to an injury or very poor performance getting someone benched. if we are smart (no faith in that) we will come up with a phantom injury if he has another good game, and put him on the market once the new league year commences. Sell him off that and Atlanta.

Wherever he goes, if he goes, we’ll see him in preseason and that will be it.

I have been really easy on Canales. Refused to criticize anything in his first year. Knowing he wasn’t ready. Been very soft on him this year, knowing he still isn’t ready. Knowing how huge the job he is trying to do is even for an experienced guy. A lot to learn all at once. Play caller, one year as OC and here he is in the fire… and then on top of everything else he is saddled with Young. But he has done some very counter productive stuff. At this point he is only staying because I highly value continuity. We have some young players who are coming along and some things about the team are coming along. I am not really a pro Canales guy so much as a pragmatist at this point. Could go either way and would not care if he is gone as long as Bryce is gone too.

It is liberating until Sunday comes. Also not having faith that the team is likewise liberated, is deflating. I mean, I can say we need to let it play out these final games and feel like that is the right thing to do. But the game comes and I have to watch him, it is mostly really hard to do.

He looks great when they can’t hit him. 7 on 7, the red shirt in practice.

You are probably right but you have to make him prove it. You change only if he proves it.
