Can We Not Over React to This One Game??

[Hoenheim]

I'm already seeing a ton of people celebrating like we just won the super bowl and Bryce Young just won MVP.

Bryce had a decent game, against a team that owns the longest losing streak in the NFL. Great! He threw 1 TD, 1 INT , 171 yards (yes I KNOW the int was  not his fault  the Bryce stands are screaming this at the top of their lungs repeatedly) . I know XL and D.Moore had big down field drops. But those are part of the game.

I personally liked the fact that he seemed to trust the oline more and threw down field shots. Yes. 

But can we not act like he threw 500 yards and 6 TDs??? Can you just say it's somewhat encouraging but need to see more?

Lets see how he does against better competition. Let's see if he can do well against the Cheifs, Eagles, and Falcons before we crown him the king of Carolina.

I think he's had close to 20 games played now. I think he had decent games in the wins last year with the game winning drives. A great Packers game. This game he played decent. So that's 3 decent, one great. 4 positive games vs 16 bad or atrocious ones.

I feel like I just want to be the voice of reason here but people get so hot and emotional over 1 game. I see content creators who are known Bryce fans screaming for joy and known Bryce detractors moaning in sour mood. 

Let's just say he had decent game and see if he can do it again.

We literally got shut out twice after that Packers game last year.

It’s been a long season already and after the bye it will get ugly. I’m in the camp of just letting the fans celebrate and go crazy after a win. They seem hard to come by these days…

The way yall overreacted to the Andy Dalton Raiders game? Of course this doesn’t mean Bryce is the future, but if you’re rooting for the young man then you should be happy to see him playing better. 
 

And you got a win, I thought that’s why this board wanted to play Danton? To win games.

Yes.  We didn't even look that good. I did like that we're rolling Bryce out.  Last year we just parked him in the same spot all game long.

Chiefs Bucs Eagles Cowboys Cardinals upcoming after the Giants.

Needless to say the sunshine and rainbows vibe here isn't sustainable for much longer.

Who is "ya'll"?

Aren't you the same one that unabashedly admits he jumped ship after we released Cam?

Our QB room as a whole is CHEEKS. The sooner you realize and admit that and stop trying to polish a turd the better off you'll be.

C'mon, this is the Huddle!  Take your common sense and steady perspectives someplace else! =P

I kid!

I agree, it was nice to get the W, I do love a victory Monday!  It was good to see Bryce stay in the game, it never seemed too big for him.  He did lead the final TD drive (though the Saints did completely fug up the 4th Quarter, but hey, you take what you can get!), and got his first victory formation snaps.  The young WRs had their ups and downs, JT Sanders was a manimal.  And the D made some plays! 

I don't care if is was a putrid saints team riddled with injury.  We are too.  I'm going to enjoy the feeling because it's been rare!

Now, does this mean the team is turning a corner?  Nope!  We are still a pretty bad team. Is Bryce the answer?  No, I am not going to say that yet.  Bryce had a good game for Bryce Young, but will that level of play compete with a top 10 QB?  No is the simple answer.

Enjoy the Victory Monday! There's nothing wrong with that.  But we still have a LONG way to go as a team.

He is the same dude that literally threatened to fight people for bashing bryce and then started a thread how bryce was a bust.  He has issues to say the least

It seems to bother some of you more if this team wins rather than losing. Maybe you should stop looking for something to offend yourself over?

Bryce honestly played great yesterday. Bryce looked like a different guy out there. There is no reason to not start him the rest of the season now. My only complaint was that he drifted back to his right again on the 2pt conversion play gifting Chase Young a sack. He’s got to stop doing that.

Dave Canales looked like our biggest problem yesterday. The play calling was atrocious. The fact Jalen Coker wasn’t on the field a lot more is mind boggling. I assume they’re trying to give Miles a chance to show literally anything so they can trade him but enough is enough. The 3 screens after that late Saints score was something. 

Im very pro tank but I’m ok with winning yesterday because it was mainly all the young guys contributing. The Saints are beyond awful but whatever.

It's called perspective. The way people are talking you would think we wiped the Saints off the field from start to finish.

Honestly we should have dropped 40 points on that terrible Saints defense.

Truthfully the Saints should have probably dropped the same on our terrible defense.

When we run into a team with a better offense and a better QB who will run up the score quickly we will be right back where we started and the holier than thou posts like the one above will once again disappear.

Maybe you should take your own advice since this entire thread is an overreaction.

All I'm saying is it's one game. It's just my own opinion to not be over the moon for this solid performance and I want to see more against better teams. That's it.

If Bryce completely transforms and actually balls out the rest of the season? I'd be happy. I'm not a Bryce hater, I just know we've still seen much more bad than we have good from him. I gotta see more before I crown him the franchise qb. I'm not going to do that in a game where he throws for under 200 yards 1 td 1 int and barely edged out another shitty team.

We need a larger sample size. Bryce has had one statement game in his career (the green bay game)  where he truly balled out. That's ONE out of TWENTY games.

I think I'm just afraid of the worst case senario of being tethered to a Mediocre qb and not being able to get out of it. Being in limbo world where we're not quite bad enough to get an all star qb and not quite good enough to be anywhere near a perennial playoff contender. I want some clear answers and this game kinda muddied the waters for me in understanding where we are as a team and where we're going in the future.

So what's the appropriate reaction? To say nothing? To shout Bryce is the best qb ever? To say he's still a bust he didn't do Jack poo? Where are you going with this
