Joe Person: Andy Dalton will 'get another crack' as starting QB


Recommended Posts

Good.

Hes simply leaving too many plays out on the field, and I’m sure Canales is seeing that on film. Now, what is likely to happen is the chiefs are going to dog walk us, calming everyone down. That’s when you go ahead and close the door on this chapter, and go back to Dalton to finish out the season.

Honestly, bringing Bryce along by playing him, then sitting him and letting him watch with more educated eyes and a different perspective isn't the worst method of getting him worked out. And sending Andy in to perform and then do an after action discussion after each series with Bryce isn't bad either.

It gives a guy a chance to get experience, digest it and make use of it.

Still, while we are seeing some growth in Bryce, he's still got a long way to go to convince at least me that he's able to overcome his early work and his physical shortcomings. Doesn't mean he can't overcome them and be something special, but there's still a mountain to climb.

He's being given a shot and be given the tutoring. The rest is up to him and fate.

Rumors I've read, and just watching Young and the  play calling, seems to indicate that Canales does not believe in Young

…at all

..maybe he was  told by  owner, gm, etc that the franchise is moving  on

…Or maybe Canales sees the limited plays calls with young under  center

i mean, it is all conjecture 

…but let’s  face it…126 yards…what more is there to say…yes there were drops but all qbs have those 

He needs to do really really well against KC and  even  if he does…might not be enough 

i suspect they will either trade him before draft or will draft  a qb and have an open competition   If he stays, it might be as a backup

Going back to Dalton just seems inevitable. I never really thought differently about that.

I think Canales wanted to go back to Andy sooner after the car wreck but his thumb still wasn't good for New Orleans. Then he won two games and didn't want to make a switch in the middle of it regardless of Bryce's play/stats.

I'm booking it, first loss after the bye and Bryce is back on the bench.

Especially if he has another 100 yd passing game. I mean that's just not a fluke at this point.

OR: Bryce throws for 95 yards and 1 TD in a signature upset win against KC, and the legacy continues.

Going back to Dalton oddly feels more like a bad gamble now. 1 in 5 odds you get a Raiders statline. Otherwise, it's old guy throwing ill-advised passes who only breaks 200 yards by throwing it 40+ times, meaning your coach forgot he has Chuba Hubbard.

5th rounder, maybe 4rth if we get lucky

 

The tape on him is simply not good.  He is a game manager back up incapable of putting a team on his back to win. 

Unfortunately that's what I'm thinking as well. No better than a 4th if we are really lucky but probably just a 5th. That sucks but it has to be done to officially move on and away from him.

I’m not sure the timeframe on a sprained thumb, but, maybe Andy getting the start after the bye? 

Loyalty has to be to the team. Not Bryce. Coach and Dan have to show the players that they got their backs. Everyone knows Bryce is not the future so don’t waste everyone’s time.
