Frank back to calling plays

[Judo Thoreau]

I’m guessing it’s so Reich doesn’t fall asleep on the sideline, but even that would barely make the top 10 most embarrassing moments of the season so far.

It's whatever to me. We all called for Brown and the offense still sucked. It honestly probably got even worse.

How about we see that red headed dude at QB again? Let's find out of the offense suddenly looks a lot better again. That sure would be uncomfortable confrontation with reality.

You mean when we threw 60 times against a depleted secondary and still lost? Yea let’s do that again. Look even if Andy wins 3-4 games so the fug what. We still aren’t going to the playoffs, we still can’t block, and our coaches still suck. It’s about the future and Andy isn’t apart of that. Bryce is and that’s just something you’ll have to come to terms with. Willingly or unwillingly.

You really are sad. Bryce may be the future. I am willing to bet he won’t be starting for us in 2026.

Yeah he knows his days are numbered.  It's a panic move.

I wonder if he'll continue to mismanage the clock while calling bad, predictable plays

I agree. At this point in the season it wouldn’t hurt. Bryce is getting worse.

I got in trouble recently so I’ll let you live. Have a very nice day.

Last ditch effort to save his job.

Remember when Rivera took over playcalling into the season his final season

I'd just like to know for sure. If Andy Dalton looks a lot better than Bryce Young again then it's not a fluke.

Don't know if it's a panic move. Might be a little controlling though.

Playcalling isn't as simple as just picking a play to run. You have to know situational football, how to use plays to set things up, etc.

Brown might not have enough experience to understand those factors. I can see taking it away from him for reasons like that.

That said, part of the idea was to free Frank up to concentrate on other things. He now loses that benefit. And realistically, while it might have been better with Reich, it wasn't exactly great either.

I was really hoping he'd give it to Caldwell. He's not only got experience doing it but a record of success.

It was a good game by Dalton, but I mean his average YPA was meh (just like Young's).  We put up 27 points which is our highest but Young put up 24 and 21 his last two games before Brown took over play calling in half the amount of attempts.  I get that points are points but you are talking about a 3 point swing from Young's best game.  I'd rather keep letting the rookie get reps to see if he can get better or not.  A couple extra wins with Dalton doesn't do much for us.  Plus Dalton had some good games last year with NO and some stinkers.  It's kind of where he is at now in his career.

I mean, this season's not going anywhere. What's the point?

The only thing of any practical value that you're really going to get out of the rest of this year is player development, especially for Young.

I just don't see anything to be gained by sitting him.
