If our #1 pick can't outperform either of these two yeah it's going to be a rough night on the huddle.

PJ Walker is complete trash and not even a NFL caliber QB stop it. Stop acting like a silly fan you’re better than that. Darnold should play well. If you put Bryce on the 49ers today he’d be a MVP candidate.

Bold prediction Darnold will play well and will keep the starting job for the rest of the season.

 

You heard it here first!

I said that the moment the 49ers signed him. Purdy is decent but that offense is designed to make it easy on the QB. Darnold has arm talent, he’s just a straight up goober with the football sometimes. With Shanahan coaching him and scheming the offense, Darnold is going to light it up.

and the dude has a winning record to this day when called up.  Walker isn't complete trash.  He just isn't a starting QB in the NFL.  And literally no one ever positioned him to be anything but a backup.  And often the 3rd string back up.  Complete trash 3rd string backup QBs.... can't maintain a winning record when called upon to step in year after year.  PJ always has gotten unfair heat because of people were angry the starters we invested in frankly aren't really any better than PJ.  PJ Walker was the last QB we have employed for some time that actually did the job he was employed to be well.  And his job was backup QB.

I'm showing a 5-3 record which is great, but 8 INTs to 4 TDs 61% completions with 6.5 yards per attempt.  He isn't what I would want in a backup because he is a wildcard IMO.  He may look great one play and terrible the next.  I'd rather have a Dalton with a higher floor and lower ceiling game manager type of backup.  Teddy for example is a great backup.

but PJ Walker largely enters each season as the 3rd string QB.  That's why I don't get the heat people give him.  Even Dalton enters each year in the 2nd string tier.

Yeah he is about right for a 3rd stringer IMO.  I'd prefer a development younger QB, but he works.

Bryce Young has a lower YPA than PJ Walker. I don't like it but that's what it is right now. Bryce can make a great deal of progress this weekend. I hope he does.

You can’t watch those games this year with him and Cleveland and think them winning has anything to do with him. He’s The Golden Calf of Bristol bad.

And a lower QBR and everything else. He’s trash. Hasn’t thrown a TD yet with a much better team around him.

Only because guys like PJ don’t qualify. PJ’s is lower on a much better team. 

Obviously PJ Walker is not a starting caliber QB. But when you draft a guy #1 and trade a player and future picks you should expect that guy to be head and shoulders above the likes of PJ Walker. Like in another league better. Let's hope Bryce has a good game Sunday. We need something positive to discuss.

      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.
