Are we low-key tanking? Donnelly thinks we're half-tanking.

I wish they’d let Canales pick his own guy at 33. There’s no way anyone can watch all 16 games last year and think Bryce can hang in this league. 

I do think they’re going full reset this year. Take on cap hits. Set up for a clean slate in 2025 and let Canales pick his guy. Problem is, next years QB class blows 

So this offseason find a WR or two. Fix IOL. See what Ekwonu can do. Then look for your QB again next offseason 

If Canales can get anything out of Bryce then that’ll speak volumes of Canales ability.

Agreed. Do just enough with Bryce to trade his midget ass and move on.

The sad part about Bryce is most of the fanbase just doesn't think he has the arm talent to be an elite QB in this league.

 

The best we can hope for is they turn him into a game manager. If he shows no improvement next season we better draft a QB in 2025.

if they move on from Bryce, they can’t set a time table like that.

If Ickey and the rest of the OL blow, then we need to spend first and 2nd round pick fixing that for the next few years.

Same with WRs.

Dont get a QB until you have some weapons and can protect him.

I think it’s more than just arm strength.

Some of us have mentioned this, but let it be said once again: 2025 may not be the best time to be looking for a QB in the draft. Of course anything can happen and things do change over a year, but 2025 is sketchy.

No team ever tries to lose on purpose. We're going to lose anyway, it's just that it might be with bottom-of-the-barrel type of players, senior citizens and UDFAs. 

The Replacements. I wouldn't mind if they just purged the lot of them save for a handful and pull from other teams practice squads to make a new roster for this season. It's time they do to the roster what they have been doing with the coaching staff.

Sanders is legit. His Oline was trash. The kid is a baller if he gets protection.

We can’t, especially with no 1st and we shouldn’t try to do that. We’ve done it for 5-6 years now and it’s gone miserably.

Also, I’ve posted this before. We have no cap issues. After decisions on Brown, Luvu and Burns, we have no big list of young guys we need to extend for lots of money. Fitterer put a kibosh on that with 3 years of terrible drafting.

We have a talent issue right now and we can’t FA our way out of that. We have to draft great value and hit on more than normal to get this team foundation back.

Our roster is really bad.

I wish. They would have been an improvement at every position but Brown's.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
