Bryce Young benched

[Wanderlai]

Mistake. I’ve known he is a bust since early last season but bench him now? Ride him to the #1 pick. That’s the least he can do to pay the franchise back. The QB whisperer did his magic in 2 games??? Maybe he sucks to. This franchise is beyond pathetic.

I was one that said to wait until enough actual games were played before we made any rash judgments...

...but total yikes. I was not expecting this level of flat-out poor play. You're not getting me to play devil's advocate on the benching because I can't stomach another awful offensive performance. Or at least, I really hope a switch makes a meaningful difference.

Too early to say this but I'm going to anyways. Ultimately, any and all blame goes to David Tepper.

Maybe now we can win some games!

He is not a wicked witch, he just sucks as an NFL QB. I'm sure you suck as an NFL QB too. Are you a witch as well?

I don’t want to take a QB in this draft, I want the #1 pick so we can hopefully trade back 5 spots or so and pick up additional draft assets to fill all those holes

Definitely don't want to reach for a QB in this draft - only if there is a consensus #1 pick at QB. 

But, I do feel like this team is lot more rookie ready than last season because of the oline. Hopefully we'll see where they are regarding WR and RB by the end of the season.

If Dalton gets injured..then bring in Jake “the Tank” Plummer to lead us to the 1st overall pick in the 2025 draft. At least will we be reintroduced to the forward pass beyond 5 yards.

You can't destroy the development of other players because you want to keep playing Bryce for the number 1 pick.

We’ve destroyed the development of players for 7 years…I don’t see what 1 more year to try and recoup draft capital is going to hurt. Hell it can’t get worse.

So does Bryce lose his Captain patch now? You can't have one of your captains riding the bench right? Or is that like his participation trophy kinda thing now

It had to be done.

Sure did...

but that doesn't diminish the fact that it took a massive set of balls to actually pull the trigger
