Yup. If he's doing that well, let Bryce spend a season taking mental reps. Rodgers rode the bench for 3 years. Worked out pretty well for him, and the team.

Hey guys, remember the part where I was called insane and dumb for speculating that this was a soft benching and the staff using the phantom injury to save face and if Bryce still ended up playing my theory fell apart?  What a crazy conspiracy, right?

🤣

You're right. Let's just fold the franchise.

You and I would.  But would a FO and HC be willing to admit that BY isn’t ready after declaring him the starter a couple days into camp?  That’s a tough pill to swallow

They wouldn't. They'd ride this phantom ankle injury.

If they put him in a boot for appearance sake after everyone saw him walking around looking fine at practice today then you know it's bullshit.

If they're thinking that way that vibe sure changed fast.

If my dumbass could look at the south and look at this roster and see we are starting a rookie qb and know we are in for a long season then how does this dumb motherfuger not see it?   Fitt needs to be shown the door like yesterday.   Was it dumbass fitt or dumbass tepper/nicole that said Stechien was a bad zoom interview but yet we hired this 62 year old retread that is insistent on call weak ass plays?

No, you wouldn't. Andy Dalton isn't the future of poo.

The problem here is some of you, for some reason, expected this to be a playoff team despite all evidence to the contrary and now you're suddenly realizing that you were wrong.

Starting Dalton means nothing for this staff in the long run. A win Sunday means nothing for this staff in the long run. A playoff berth with Dalton at QB means nothing for this staff in the long run. Bryce Young is either the future of this team or Tepper is going to clean house within 2 years and start over.

Benching Bryce Young with a fake injury would essentially be this staff throwing in the towel and telling Tepper that they can't do what he specifically hired them to do. That would be FAR more damaging to their careers than starting him and getting poor play from a rookie QB.

It's always within reach until it isn't.  It's a lot tougher to flip a roster in the NFL then they realized I'm sure.  

Its really troubling that they totally misassesed this roster and think its good enough to win now.  Their plan is to throw poo against the wall and pray the coach can win with it.

You would honestly bench a guy putting up 275+ yards and 35 points to play your shiny rookie out of pride? That would be dumb.

I'm fairly certain they stated we would start off slow, but see improvements towards the end of the year.   That was after the preseason.  Remember @CamWhoaaCam got mad and you were telling him that our staff is saying what you were saying all offseason?  As for the offseason quotes, I wouldn't put too much weight into any of that.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
