Canales still not sold on Bryce?

[Jackson113.2]

Seems weird to think Dalton could be a long term solution, but who knows?

[Manna]

he's either not sold on Bryce, or he's just allowing Bryce to earn the job rather than being anointed QB1. Either way, Bryce has to earn it.

It would be worth it to keep using the rest of the season to see what happens to the offense with Dalton  and Bryce. Experiment and see if it opens more up with Dalton or not.

I don't think it's a question of whether Dalton has a role in the offense next year as much as a definitive answer on whether Bryce holds it all back. I think we all know he does, but Tepper will need quantifiable evidence to show that we would be better off going another direction.

I’d rather keep the heat on Bryce and see him rise to the occasion. He’s taking steps. But we need to see if he can take leaps. 

[Ricky Prickles]

I wouldn't think he is sold on Bryce. Bryce improved a little but still much much more needed to improve like pass the 200+ yard mark in passing yards at least and show a command of the offense as well as leadership out there completely.

[L-TownCat]

It’s probably a little of everything, not committing to either making opponents prepare for both, giving Bryce the opportunity to “win” the job and preventing Andy from “losing” the job due to injury.

If Canales has any semblance of the concept of self preservation given that this is his first head coaching gig and we were the only team to interview him then he's already made up his mind on this QB room by now.

wth does "Having a curiosity about Dalton" even mean lol

[HPPantherzfan]

I think he knows 126 yards isn’t beating the Chiefs 

[Icege]

He's been fairly consistent about not naming the starter until late to keep a competitive advantage + evaluate practice reps.

Kind of weird that folks are upset about Canales making Bryce earn starts after all of the butthurt over him being "handed" the job his rookie season.

Let's just dispense with the company line about Andy's sprained thumb like he had it amputed and just acknowledge Bryce is starting because Andy stunk up the joint and Dan Morgan and Dave Canales wasted the offseason making zero attempt at bringing in another young QB that could remotely challenge anyone.

It means Bryce is his QB and he's not stamping anyone as starter for the rest of the season.

 

Don't let these 2 wins vs the Saints and Giants fool you. Bryce about to get exposed next Sunday vs the Chiefs.

Shouldn't have beat the Giants, but 3 or 4 turnovers and a missed field goal helped get him over the finish line lol. 

[Aussie Tank]

I still think Bryce is traded in the offseason. And we bring in Canales choice of Vet QB
