We sat on Burns and we see how that worked out for us.

I tend to align with the minority here. Supposedly, Tepper "took a step back from the day-to day" this last offseason. This is after Bryce was drafted. If Canales and Morgan made the call to bench him and Tepper was just like "it's your show" that's an unbelievable step in the right direction.

If Dalton comes in and plays at 2022 Sam Darnold level, 4 out of the next 6 games are competitive at minimum. Here are some of his highlights from 2022.

Analysts are saying Rams and Dolphins. Orlovsky thinks the Rams should trade for him. https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2024/09/17/bryce-young-panthers-rams-trade-dan-orlovsky/ But he also mentions the Dolphins. https://phinphanatic.com/posts/espn-insider-adds-bryce-young-trade-speculation-latest-dolphins-take-01j801qjsk7q Some randoms are saying the Giants and Browns should do it. We will see if any smoke appears. I would do it soon. If Dalton has a good day on Sunday, Bryce's value goes down.

Vinny was 44 when he played here. Beuerlein was 34 when he set the Panther's franchise record for passing TDs/yards in a season. (Still standing btw) Rodgers is 40 Brady was like 45 (I know he don't count) Rivers/Roethlisberger were like 39 when they slipped. Cam was only like 29/30 when his arm went (That was due to TJ Watt). Jake was 32 when his went and he had TJ surgery. Everyone's arm goes out differently. Dalton hasn't put much strain on it the last couple of years. He probably has 2-3 more years.

It would take like 3 straight 0-17 seasons for it to even be brought up. Maybe like 3-5 more in a row for anything serious to happen.

Who knows, maybe. Morgan and Canales both have connections to their GM Schneider.

Agree, but is a lot harder to do that, not so hard to do this though. Make the move while things are still chaotic and not once everything calms down.

after Week 4- same for Jackson and Brooks.

Dude has 1 sack, but really has been missing other than that.

This may be an unpopular take, but with how this is circulating the media- I think the most healthy thing for the organization is to get Bryce out of here as soon as possible. I think for the sake of the team, it's best to off load him to anyone that will take him for a low pick. I don't believe it will be the heathiest outcome for him or the team to keep him wondering around the locker room, sideline, and QB room with that sad look on his face (It is going to have to be awkward). I say you give the kid a change of scenery for his benefit, and move forward now. It also takes away the constant camera shots of him sitting on the sideline and media narratives of him possibly coming back in later. Tear off the band-aid. They can backfill the 2nd QB spot with whomever, a vet, another young guy, Plummer, etc. Let the team and Bryce both move forward. A few people to look at bringing in: Russell Wilson (Only see this happening if Andy gets hurt- looks like he lost the job in Pittsburgh- injury or not). Canales/Morgan connection. Sam Howell (Some rumors that Seattle is open to dealing him) Jack Plummer (Showed flashes in the Pre-Season) Blaine Gabbert (Free Agent) PJ Walker (Free Agent) Bailey Zappe (KC Practice Squad) Jaren Hall (SEA Practice Squad) Mike White (BUF Practice Squad) John Wolford (Free Agent) Was already worked out a few weeks ago.

Him playing will lose trade value. I think if we are eliminated from the playoffs they start Plummer and see if he can develop into a back up QB.

I misread and clicked the wrong one. Let me put it this way. I think he has started his last game for the Panthers. I think the Panthers are finished with him after this season. Now, if Dalton goes down and Bryce is active for that game then he goes in. However, I think they bring somebody else in or let Plummer start down the line if it's planned.

Apparently Pierce was caught off guard learning that Dalton will start. "I got to go back to the drawing boards wasn't prepared for that one," said Pierce. Video in article. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/raiders-today/antonio-pierce-has-blunt-response-after-learning-bryce-young-was-benched

Man, I would just use the draft and FA to fill the countless holes that we have and get some depth. This roster has nothing to offer a rookie QB right now. Get a veteran until we figure it out. Canales seems to have good resume working with veteran QBs. Maybe draft a mid-round guy to develop but until we fix key positions on this roster and get some depth, we are going to set up young QBs to fail.

Good news is he is 7 years younger than Testaverde when he started for us. He is also well rested, and seems to be excited to have the opportunity.

Yeah I think this is going to be the same thing that Wilks did with Darnold. Run the ball heavy with the RBs and new OL and use Dalton to hit them deep on the play action. Canales was very PA heavy in TB last year.

I don’t know. I will be interested to see if this change motivates the team at all. Maybe guys will play harder and have more energy after the change. Completely possible they play the same, who knows

Agreed

Betting line has went from Raiders -7.5 to Raiders -5.5 in about 24 hours.

Dude, I'm just happy we might see a 20 yard pass.

Yeah, I've wanted to say this since week 1 but now we have reason to.

Being "shocked" at the decision is clear sign he was not getting appropriate feedback this whole time. When you're given "good jobs" and "atta boys" then have the rug pulled out from you, you become shocked.

I like Ewers, Ward, and Allar. I'll pass on Sanders and Beck. I don't think Dillon Gabriel is 1st round talent.

Jack Plummer enters the chat.. Or you know a guy from from Pittsburgh who may have lost his starting job this weekend.
