What do we KNOW?

- This o-line is excellent. And has been 3 straight games.

- We have weapons and they ARE getting open.

- Chuba is a very solid RB who can catch.

- We have a great kicker.

What do we SUSPECT?

- Andy is a solid enough veteran that he will at least be able to keep the offense on the field a lot of times.

-Some of these players like Horn and Clowney will benefit with less time on the field. And the D will play better overall when we'll rested.

I think this is a good foundation.

Also, Legette looks good.  I did not advocate for him high in the second (eventually a 32nd pick), but I will admit, the guy looks really promising.  

A lot of good stuff today.

DALTON, Hunt, Lewis, Corbett, Legette, Diontae, Chuba, Jewell, Jackson, Ray (this dude showed UP)

 

So when you have a guy who can keep the offense on the field, it helps the entire team, offense & defense out.  Gives the defense breathers, gives the WRs placement, opertes in the pocket to make the OL look sharp.  Everything was just fine tuned and balanced.  

Honestly, one of the most both balanced and vertical offenses I've seen on this team in forever.  This was one of the best days in forever, well above a ton of Rivera & Fox squads.

Cam and Jake went down field often.

All true, but I think having a functional QB changed the complexion of the entire team and the game.  They couldn't impose their will, be it the pass, run, or defensively, because we had balance and the defense stayed fresh.  Dalton really made the game entirely different.

Yeah. Just looking at their offensive issues.

It's also worth considering, he isn't just the worst #1 pick ever, he may be the worst starting QB ever to have logged that many attempts/starts.  He's so bad.

Stats and eye test both back that up.  I mean, it is absolutely insane what we were able to do today, and against a solid defense.  Very similar pockets, play calls, and attempted offensive cadence.  

  • YPA is the worst in modern history (and we're in a passing oriented era)
  • The success rate is historically bad
  • And the size.  Just have to be honest.  I thought he could overcome it pre-draft with his intangibles, but accept I was wrong.  Historically the smallest QB frame wise in the history of the league and a bottom-5 starter arm.  

It's hard to lose sight of how bad he's been even in the win today.  I hate to pile on, but it's super hard to ignore after this offense's output.  

Just...damn.

One of the best plays XL made today imo wasn't even a catch. Dalton lofted one out of bounds over his head. XL was able to change direction and track the ball like a center fielder. That is actually much more difficult and not natural for a lot of guys. It's also a good sign that he has some potential that's untapped there. I am very excited about him moving forward, he may be our Nuk Hopkins (not in terms of player comp but a very very good WR drafted at the end of round 1)

This is absolutely not true.  We should wait till the offseason

If we wait until the off-season, we're not getting anything but a day three pick. The time to do it is before the trade deadline. Lord forbid that he has to come in and stink up the place again.

We're fuged either way.

Mind you, I'm not a gambler, but I made a little change off X today.

Yep. That’s why I said a ton instead of all. Steve w/George had a few monsters, Jake 2003-2006 was great QB play, especially for that era. Jake had a cannon in his prime that is overlooked. And Cam 2012-2017 was chef’s kiss.

But seriously, that first half was something else today

      Bryce can’t be on the team this time next week.

      By Jacabee · Posted

      He seems to be a well-liked, humble locker-room presence. If he's not a problem, what's the need to evict immediately? Why not let him develop under Canales without the pressure of being the figurehead. He was benched because he wasn't performing baseline NFL QB tasks. Pre-snap he was seeing ghosts and post-snap not even bothering with progressions. Even when "creating" outside the pocket, he failed to execute baseline NFL throws. The kid looked rattled. It's a combination of the actual hits, the media hits and his own personal frustration with failure. That said, the narrative  that he doesn't have the physical talent to play in the NFL is incomplete. Yes, he lacks physical talent when compared to the elite of the elite, but his size and arm strength are not reasons he can never be successful in the NFL. They just can't bail him out. The problem has been the lack of decisiveness. That's why you see him drifting backwards on his tip toes, constantly re-setting his feet rather than taking a conventional drop. You're never gonna get the velocity when constantly throwing off your back foot. The  mediocrity of his physical talent only compounds the issue. We gain very little by getting rid of him, especially in comparison to what we paid. His value will never be lower. Maybe some time out of the spotlight will help upgrade the Pentium Pro to at least a Sky Lake. Matt Cassell went for a 34th overall pick. Sam Darnold just threw 4 touchdowns in Minny for a 3-0 team. Hell, the 36 Y.O. Red Rifle has the media in a tizzy trying to learn the names of Panther's players to explain why the Raiders got molly-whopped. Maybe Canales is a QB whisperer. Maybe he can turn BY into an asset of greater value. We've already paid the cost.

      I don't think Bryce is the type to try to divide a locker room, so I doubt its a distraction to keep him

      What I think about it won't matter, but if he is not causing problems we have a lot tied up in him. He is a big cap charge.  The only leg the Youngs have to stand on is that the team ruined him. There is no more, crappy coaching, no talent around him, that is washed away. So, he is ruined or he just sucks. Those are the choices.  They have to go with ruined. Not a big selling point. They will understand that the only real option is to stay put and try to rehab. I would keep him the year and offseason at least just for the money. Which he gets regardless of how bad he is.
