Bryce Young benched

[HPPantherzfan]

Just heard it without hearing it.  The locker room was gone!  This had to happen! 

[Billy Goat]

Had to be done. I'm actually looking forward to the Raiders game now. Having said that it could hurt our chances of drafting a QB next year. The team has a legit shot at winning games now.

Sounds like he didn't clear it with Tepper lol

Dalton had to throw 58 times for those 361 yards. It's not the achievement a lot of you guys claim it is.

Would love to think Tepper figured out not to force things like he usually does and to stay out of it.

Those stats would have great in the 1970's. They seem pedestrian in today's pass oriented NFL. That said, If Bryce had posted those numbers in 2023, or by the end of the current 2024 season , we'd all be ok with those numbers and he'd be firmly entrenched as our starter going forward.

Bryce can't throw 58 times a game cause we don't get enough snaps without first downs

Must have been the Monday meeting with Tepper. He must have received permission

Probably a fair assumption, it's still a gigantic call to make as a Head Coach considering the circumstances.

Passing for 2 TDs and moving the offense for 27 points isn't too bad for the backup in his first action of the season.  You know, for the guy that hardly gets any first team reps and usually just hold a clipboard.  ZERO picks in those 58 attempts as well.  Has Bryce ever gone a span of 58 passes without a pick?

Canales says he did not speak with Tepper before making this decision.  Well.  There it is.

Ol' brass balls isn't going to like this.

remember those stats are from when we had no protection and no open receivers down field, he HAD to make short throws to get that yardage

Sure. When he played for Bama.

There was definitely a mandate from Tepper for Canales to start Young and hand him the job from day 1. I think Tepper saw enough in the first 2 games and finally said fug it do what you want. However now we're crippled because the offseason was approached with that "salvage Bryce" mandate.

Ehhh I actually think we see dramatic offensive improvement with Dalton the line has been DRAMATICALLY better than last year.   

It's possible we could even be watchable
