After seeing QBs sit, switch multiple teams, and somehow start balling out, I think we should bring him in if it comesndown to that. He didn't have much experience at all upon entering the league. He'd only be 26, so maybe his best time is now. Why not give it a try?

I wonder if Dan and Dave have this same belief. We'll see what's what with Evans fairly soon. We'll see about Bryce in the off-season. What's on obvious to most Huddlers seems to escape the FO.

T-Mac is so much more than that. He really is.

Twitter, a.k.a. X, is rife with bots, trolls and idiots (for real). Twitter is confirmation that many people are just as dumb as we thought they were.

I mean, it's pretty simple. Canales is adapting based upon the limitations of his QB.

Same one, wasn't it?

New system, injury and age.

I just have to think that he was simply unfortunate to come into the league to the Jets and then be traded to the Panthers, one terrible franchise and another now shaky franchise that has been terrible as of late. Not to mention Baker, but Sam Darnold looks like a totally different QB. He's out there slinging with confidence, going through progressions, making reads, taking what the defense is giving him, and then pushing the ball down the field without fear. My goodness, someone here really screwed the pooch. I don't know where Fitterer is, but the dumpy car salesman just got an extension. I wish I knew all the other dodo heads who were in on our layers of failure pertaining to Darnold, you know the ones that are supposed to help QBs develop and those giving input on personnel, but I hope that they have other employment.

Canales left him at the 49. We'll see

Slow developing run play on 2nd and basically a wing and a prayer on 3rd that's 12 yards behind the sticks on a key possession. Sigh

It would be OK if Bryce knew how to throw a damned catchable ball.

That's yet to be determined. That's a helluva contortion job to try and catch that awkwardly placed ball.

I disagree. The ball was not in his vicinity. You would have an argument if it were. His momentum was taking him away from the badly thrown ball. He wasn't going to save anything.

The ball was nowhere near Legette. Legette had issues, but he wasn't going to catch that ball regardless.

The fuging pass was nowhere near X @kungfoodude!

That's not on X in any shape fashion or form. It's just a horrible throw. You think X can change momentum, particularly with a guy all over him?

Olsen just told you. Enough said.

Bryce just has to be smarter on the play. Anyone arguing otherwise just wants to argue. He should know the rules. Everyone knows them.

All he had to do is get his ass out. He knows the rules. You have to be more aware and not slow down when a defensive player is coming for you to do exactly what Cooper did.

None of any of this makes sense ("this" being no clear-cut improvement after seven damned years). That being said, it would've made more sense, in my opinion, for Canales to say something to the effect that he'll have to watch the tape before any decisions are made regarding the QB position, if any. But, no, he basically said, with his chest, that Bryce is the QB. That changed within hours. I'm not saying that he was ordered to do it, but I'm 100 percent sure that something was said or suggested after he made such a definitive statement. Lastly, we're all speculating.

I mean, I respect your opinion, and your station as an ol' timer, but you're giving credit that he may not deserve. Some people suspected that it was pressure from on high that precipitated the Young benching. I mean Canales said at after the game, with his chest, that Bryce was the starter. Then, overnight, he looked at the tape and magically did an about-face. I mean, it's not a stretch at all to think that you have to keep playing the so-called "hot hand," lest you interrupt the mojo. It's not a stretch to take into account that old football theory about RBs needing to get into a rhythm. It's not a stretch to think that against a bad run defense, that you need to prioritize running the ball (with your most proficient back, no less, or at least the one that had recently been running all over teams). I mean, I can like Canales (or not), but still see that his situational play calling leaves something to be desired. I think Canales is too slow to act and react. If you saw the video, the Bills kept running the same damned run play, except to different sides or with a slightly different wrinkle, and yet Canales doesn't tell Evero to get his head out his crack and do something to stop it. Moreover, he chose to keep Evero in the first place, which is somewhat provocative in itself. So, yeah, Canales doesn't get the benefit of doubt with me. His only saving grace in my mind is that he was saddled with Bryce Young, so maybe he should get some grace to turn Bryce around, or get his own QB so that we can take away all excuses and see what Canales can do without the built-in excuses. We don't have to do anything. Canales is not untouchable. Now will we probably keep him? Probably. But you never know. Let me tell you a little story. During the BYE week, David Tepper decides to take a trip down to Cabo trying to chill but can't help commiserating about how his team has gotten blown out by the Bills, Packers and the Rams (a fresh loss on the forefront of his mind). He's sitting in the beach bar, throwing back some cold ones, waiting for a freshly grilled steak and a fresh bottle of Heinz, and in walks Jon Gruden. Dave and Jon get to discussing the Panthers and what should be done and should've been done, and the rest is history. Imaginary? Yes. Could Tepper wake up after another blowout and decide---seemingly impetuously, but not really---that the current head coach ain't working. Hell, it's not like there isn't some precedent...

I concur. The fish were close, yet so far. I really learned nothing new about the Ravens last night. I don't know if they're improving, or if they're just a sucky team this season largely living off of reputation.

I'd trade Chuba for a solid LB in a hot second. Just being honest.

I can see that, but there are quality backs coming out every year. There are backs in FA that become available every year. As much as I have praised Chuba and think that he's a solid back, he's not special. He's certainly not special enough for me to lose any sleep if he's traded.
