We don't know what actually went on behind the scenes in settling on Bryce Young. If Reich went hard for him, then no it isn't. If Reich was more hesitant, then yeah it is.

It seemed early on Frank and co were really high on Stroud and most of the media was thinking we were going that direction. When we got closer to the draft and after pro days, word got out that David and Nicole “fell in love with Bryce” and things started shifting toward Bryce being the pick. Coincidence, or more evidence of a meddling owner who doesn’t listen to the people around him that actually know football?

When you hear about and get photo ops of the wife of the owner "falling in love" and embracing one particular prospect over another from the same owner that brought us Matt Rhule and Sam Darnold it's not a great sign. For some reason some folks thought it was fantastic.

Glad Bryce is getting his time to heal and to watch how the game is played. He wasn't ready to start, and Frank knew that. Maybe we will have some good players to pick from when the 2nd round starts next year. Dalton is not the future, but Bryce will get some time to watch and learn.

Same here. Mostly because I'd planned on going to this game for a long time and I don't want to watch Andy Dalton.

understandable.  Nothing worse than planning to go to a game and getting the backup.  Happened to me on the road with Cam.   Turned me into a late ticket buyer willing to eat that late decision cost.

Bryce can stand to watch for more than 2 games, but Tepper is not going to allow that to happen. Tepper will force Frank to start him before he is truly ready.

Tepper just needs to sit down with Frank and be like:

Frank.  You are a good coach.  But we both know you just got fired for having that call sheet in your hands.  You give it to Brown or go find someone else that you will give it to.   But Brown needs it until then.

There was a time when the mods here brought reason to a group of irrational shitposters. Now the mods are bringing the irrational shitposting to the people with reason

"Reasonable fans" in sports talk is the "common sense" of political talk. They're both just condescending ways of dismissing differing opinions.
