Dalton isn't going to light the world on fire... the offense is terrible and it isn't because BY was the problem.

No, but he can be a game manager and that's all we need in winnable games.  The idea that #1 picks especially at the QB position can't sit a portion of the season is moronic.  They AREN'T ready for the NFL and rushing them out there only shakes their confidence.

I don't have a problem with him sitting, I'd prefer that to an actual injury (I'm not sure which it is).  More a remark to the random people claiming the offense will be great now.

It's not out of pride. If anything it's out of a sense of self preservation. What I'm saying is that Tepper values Bryce's development ahead of a playoff berth this year. Reich surely knows that; Fitterer damn sure knows that.

Reich benching Bryce would only serve as a signal to Tepper that either he's incapable of doing his job or that Bryce is a bust. In either case, it wouldn't be to Reich's benefit.

This is a fan take.

It's not the way professionals in competitor sports getting paid millions of dollars to produce think. 

No GM or Head Coach in the league values "rookie development" over wins. That's what training camp and preseason is for. 

If Young gives us the best chance to win he's going to take the field, if some how Dalton lights it up and the offense looks night and day from the previous two weeks, you're going to see more Dalton going forward bottomline.

Mahomes sat and watched his rookie season that didn't seem to slow down his development.

I love how Andy Dalton has suddenly become the second coming of Tom Brady in the eyes of half the board.

The assumption that he's going to "light it up" is laughable. He may have a good game, but even if he does he's still not the future of the franchise.

Looking forward to seeing Andy play. Bryce can use the time to regroup and regain his confidence which you can see he has lost a bit and he looks tentative and won't chuck it down the field. Sitting should help him take stock and get ready to jump back in in a few weeks. I think the staff doesn't want to David Carr him and this is one way to help him without making it obvious there is an issue

2 games in and he has lost his confidence.  Got it.  we traded all of that capital for a mental (and literal) midget, the gift that keeps on giving

Quit gaslighting,

Nowhere did I mention Andy Dalton was the new Tom Brady or the future of the franchise.

I simply stated if he goes out there and produces we might not see Bryce for awhile; you might not like it, but that's the reality, it's a results driven league, and people careers are on the line, winning is what matters not trying to develop a rookie Qb.

    • 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
