Life without DW4


Recommended Posts

Not giving up on DW yet....

But, I think signing Winston or Mariotta makes the most sense unless we fall in love with a QB in the draft.  I do like Pickett, and think a rookie would generate some excitement for the fan base.  But we would need to shore up the LG and C spots as well as MLB prior to the draft in order to take a QB at 6.

People say this years class is poo but want the Bama QB after absolutely eviscorating Mac Jones for months 😂

I guess Mac Jones was just a skinny white dude that had a dad bod at age 21? But all he did was win and make throws! I guess that was only because of the talent around him? But, Bryce Young doesn't have good talent? 😂

While I was the conductor on the tank for Trevor train and I agree with your premise, the two things above conflict. If you want to make a run at a QB, we need losses. You don’t want a vet bridge QB to limp along, you pick your Jimmy Clausen and run. I’m think Sam is that guy or maybe Walker.

It still saddens me that we wasted all that cap and picks on Teddy and Sam when in 2020 we had the Will Grier express to take us to the promised land and at worst we got the bounty of picks from SF. Would have made getting Watson easy peasy.

I’m not necessarily saying tank. The chiefs(Pat)  rams(Goff) eagles(wentz) all gave a load up to move up and get their guys from deeper in the first round. We would prbly be giving up way less than we are willing to right now with Watson. 
 

I say sign Marcus or Jameis because you know Rhule knows he is a lame duck and isn’t gonna ride with Sam either way.

People play favorites too much based on their favorite college it's why you can't have a basic fact based talk about quarterbacks here.

What I see in Bryce is a skinnier, slower version of Kyler Murray. I don't question his skills but I do question his ability to physically withstand the punishment the NFL game dishes out.

That’s a fair assessment. He just has ridiculous arm talent and is extremely cerebral. Playing under BoB he’s seen a high level system.

Yup. IMO this is what it would have to be. Stand by…pick up assets by trading CMC, Robbie, maybe DJ. Try to keep the defense together so it doesn’t need work. Build the OL. Draft the QB of the future in 2023. Fire Rhule after we have the worst record in the league. Start over.

    • 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 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
    • 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.
