Bryce Young faced the least pressure of any quarterback this week

But the OL!!!!  I mean they can block and all, but they are too tall!!!!

Yeah part of it was because he checked it down virtually every snap but even STILL this is inexcusable.  Guys were open too cause the DBs were cheating and driving at the ball because none of them were scared of Bryce and any deep balls coming their way.

At least now we know Ickey wasn't the problem last season.  Hopefully we can salvage at least one first round pick.

That is what I told my buddy--I said "He's got time--and he still sucks."

I think he should go to IR.  I would tell him that we are going to go with Dalton or we are going to take a look at Plummer and maybe another QB from another practice squad--lets see if Canales can fix Desmond Ridder, for example.  Then I would tell him that we are drafting a QB and he can compete in the 2025 pre season.  He has less than a year to get it together.

We signed three big dudes in the middle.  Big mistake.  These guys were available: 

I actually met the one in the middle--he was at Concord Mills--the last living Oz cast member---he was funny as hell--told me the back stories about making the movie.

The OL will eventually allow an Ole` to a pass rusher so Bryce can get a good enough slobber knocker to "allow" an IR excuse.  We should take bets on which one does it.  I'm thinking Moton.

Put him in some of these

We aren't running the ball as well as we should, but without a passing game, our OL is going to be outnumbered.

I can tell you that it happens.  In college at practice--I saw our QB get plastered after blaming the center for a bad exchange.  The WRs (prima donnas) are the best group to signal problems in paradise.  It is very frustrating to get open and look back for the ball and the QB is dancing around looking everywhere but downfield.  Thielen showed it, I am thinking Johnson had an episode, and Mingo and Legette are not going to say anything.

Chuba was getting 6.4 yards a carry lol. That's ideal. They should bench Sanders for Boone though

I said this during the game yesterday. Fundamentally, and schematically, the offense sans the QB actually looks much better than last year.

But it's hard to do jack poo when you can't push the ball down field.

I told everyone in the ATL Riot - I'll bet them money the offense wakes up and the team becomes competitive once Dalton is inserted.

This is why it's straight up irresponsible to not bench the guy now.  Things are about to get downright bad.
