Best mod on the board and it ain't even close! Thanks for being fair minded and at least open to the possibility Bryce can be our franchise QB.

Does franchise just means he is the current starter or does he have to be good?

Everything has to be elite before we can grade Bryce 

Hubbard had more yards rushing than Bryce had passing (adjusted for sacks).  You would think it was a monsoon or a blizzard with those kind of stats.  Nah, just a cool sunny day where the QB leans on the running game and doesn't have to do anything special outside of--just don't turn the ball over.  Success!

We have a nice foundation in place for whomever will be the future at QB and we will add even more in the coming months. All we can say for sure is Bryce will be here next season competing and that's the only logical answer. Anyone making firm declarations one way or another about him being or not being the answer right now are confusing opinion with fact.

No, he's a game manager...at best.  We get to see next year. I think he's about hit his ceiling.

And there have been teams with average QBs and loaded rosters-mainly teams with great defenses--like the 85 Bears, for extreme example, that have won it all with a game manager--but it is much better to have an elite QB....

This draft will have some decent qbs who could become a good NFL starting QB--I think of Cousins being taken with RGIII in the same draft.  I think of Brady being drafted when the Pats had Bledsoe---I hope we go after a guy like Howard from Ohio State, Rourke from Indiana, or (and people might laugh at this, but he has the skills) Beck from Georgia. 

Yeah, Bryce is a game manager--that is all he was at Bama.

The answer to what, exactly?

I'm happy for him and the team. He played pretty well overall. And a 3TD day should always be celebrated.

I'm still of the mind we need some competition in camp for him next year.

Cousins?

[mc52beast]

He’s playing pretty good on an offense that has a really good rb, an above average o-line and average receivers. Upgrade his receivers and see what happens.

Agreed.  

Im all for competition.  They should challenge everyone and bring out the best in them.

All qbs are game managers until they're not. And not many take the next step without quality around them

Looking at this from the Canales viewpoint:  He inherited Bryce.  No emotional commitment to him.  He did not pound the table for Bryce in meetings before the draft in 2023.  He was hired to turn him around, so to speak, and he has done that.  Bryce could be tapping on his ceiling, and Canales will reach a point when he wants more.

And we could use a stud TE to go with Sanders and Tremble.  That would be an awesome TE room.

We have a Chad pennington that we mortgaged the future for and selected #1 overall. You got to have higher expectations and just being a game manager isnt good enough. Until he can be a consistent game changer and can be relied upon putting the team on his back when needed, he still isnt worth what was given up.

Young played well.   Mistake free.  But still need competition for next year.  The cardinals committed so many penalties i was wondering for a while if they wanted to loose.  Hubbard is looking better and better though.  I would love to see young have a 300 yard game or 2 to finish the season .
