I just think he's tired of getting the hell beat out if him behind trash tier OLs. Hard to blame him for that. At some point, I think he's either going to retire early or force his way out of there if they don't get it fixed.

Going into the season? No. But it's easy to see how that could change quickly during the season. All I'm gonna say is he better improve that QB room. If Bryce reverts back to "pre-improved" Bryce Canales might not be here in '27. If I was him I'd want a legitimate fallback plan.

That's what sold me on Burrow in college. You could tell he didn't have a big arm by NFL standards but what set hin apart was that he can throw the same ball whether he's standing in a clean pocket or running for his life. There's seemingly no drop off in velocity or accuracy.

I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.

Thats not what im saying. The allure of getting on that Tepper payroll does.

No reason?

Hey, remember when this clown called Caleb Wilson a lazy pussy and then we learned he played the whole second half with a broken hand? LOL

He got better this year. But he was still overall bad. It's about the incredibly low physical ceiling he has.

I don't think think anyone is actively rooting against him. Okay, maybe some. But Bryce seems like a really good dude. I don't see you anyone could view the person negatively. But this ain't about that. This is about whether or not we truly think we can compete for SBs with Bryce Young at QB. I don't. Especially if you give him a legit starting QB contract.

Here's the reality of the situation, Bryce's "development" led to him having these rankings in his third season... Passing yardage: 21st TDs: 16th INTs: tied for 6th most in the league Completion percentage: 24th Yards per attempt: 34th Passer rating: 30th QBR: 26th There's just no way to objectively look at the production and conclude anything other than he is an overall well below average NFL starting QB. We're not talking about a down year here. We're talking about people wanting to hang their hat on this as some sign that he's the answer when the numbers are absolutely screaming the opposite. The difference with any of these vet QB names being thrown around is that no one is pitching these guys as the answer. If they turned out to be a la Jake Delhomme that'd be awesome but I haven't seen anyone trying to sell that as a likely scenario. We just want viable competition at the most important position in the game.

LOL

Point them out. Like I said, don't worry. I'll wait. Literally no one is doing for Howell what PFF is doing for Bryce. I'd know. I'm president of the fan club.

PFF literally invents metrics to paint Bryce as an elite QB. Who's doing that for Howell?

It's reality. Where is anyone arguing to bring in Howell as the undisputed answer to our QB issues? Don't worry, I'll wait.
