If our o-line coach co-signed on bringing in Matt then his job is in jeopardy. We can only hope that Matt makes a miraculous improvement in his level of play, or that we cut ties with him all together. 

  He is gone. He’s been gone. There is no way he is playing for us again. That was decided long ago. At least as far back as when they told him to get off the practice field around week 8. More than likely it was when he quit on the team in pre-season.

If you're going to commit a huge sum of money toward the QB position, then any Joe 6 pack can see you have to spend to protect him as well. We did. His name is Matt Kalil, he's terrible, and we're fug out of money. Draft someone? I doubt Ron will go for that.

Since Jordan Gross, we haven't had a LT that could protect Cam.  Oher was ok, but at this point in Cam's career, with all the hits he's taken, ok doesn't cut it.

 Ohers concussion cost this team many times over.

The instant Matt didn't pan out we were set to endure a patchwork o-line of guys we're hoping will overachieve. Spending more big bucks on the o-line is out of the question, and high draft picks are not on the way imo. Ron wants his defense back to a high standard so he can have more control over his fate if he needs to call the plays.

  Not with this class. I don’t have faith that anyone coming out will wind up an effective LT.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
