Bryce is making strides, for sure. His improvement is as night-and-day as I have ever seen. The kid was left for dead by 90+ percent of the fan base. I didn't believe that he had it in him. I didn't. Does that mean I'm ready to lock him in as our QB1? Sorry, I believe in competition. He's undoubtedly earned his spot to compete as QB1. I'm proud of him. If he is what many think that he can be based upon what we've seen for several weeks, then he will outright dust any QB that we bring in for the job anyway. 

Some may consider it a hot take, but I see, however imperceptible, some traits and characteristics in Bryce that may make him eclipse Delhomme and even Cam at the end of the day. It all may depend upon what type of talent that we put around him, because both Delhomme and Cam had better teams. I'm about 60 to 75 percent sure that Bryce has turned some corner and the light switch has come on. Whatever Dave whispered has done the kid wonders. If skeptics don't want to see it, they don't have to. If a modicum of optimism has clouded my mind, then so what. Time is going to tell and finish the story, but so far the story has been incredible.

I agree. I think the overwhelming majority of fans here just want us to return to contender status again and shed joke status for good. If Bryce Young is the future for that great. He is still very young. That's less resources and time we have to waste looking further. But just like you said for the time being going forward a reset and some new life in the QB room will benefit everyone. I would think we should all be able to come to an agreement on that.

It’s legit weird to me people actually believe Bryce might not be the dude 

It’s the NFL, it takes a lot more than what Bryce Young has done to really prove to people you are the dude.  

You can pick a random example.  Daniel Jones.   NYGs wanted him to be the dude.  He never was.  Bryce Young’s resume of proof is crazy light as of today.  Maybe he will be.  Some are simply declaring dude status off 4-5 games and lighting everything else on fire.  Which isn’t what we do when talking about anyone else

Four to five games can be enough time, it's just that Bryce stunk it up so much before being benched that he now has to do more than someone like Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye or our very own Cam Newton had to do. Hell, it only took one game for me to know that Cam was legit. 

For me, it's all good. It is what it is. He has to play himself back into the good graces of fans and pundits alike. I will say that his situation was terrible, and you have to be able to compartmentalize his post-bench games in some respect to judge his improvement and ability to play the position going forwards. Sure, the nightmare of his rookie year and beginning of this past season will be on our minds for a certain amount of time, but we're going to have to stop dwelling upon that the more and more Bryce improves with the passing of time. We've certainly seen his floor, which wasn't necessarily the expectation, but understandable in hindsight. Now, we get to see his progression and  perhaps get glimpses of his ceiling.

And Daniel Jones gave giants atleast one entire year of solid play that led to playoffs and a win in the playoffs.

      NFL Head Coaching Job Predictions

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Las Vegas Raiders My Prediction: Mike Vrabel Wild Card: Byron Leftwich/Bill O’Brien   Comments: Mark Davis’ obsession with the Patriots is real. Tom Brady is part of ownership now and will likely have a huge say in this decision. Brady will want to establish a winning culture and bring somebody in that understands what that looks like. Vrabel is likely that guy and won’t mind Brady overstepping at times for guidance. Byron Leftwich also spent time with Brady in Tampa and could have that relationship with him as well. Brady was close with O’Brien but I see this as a longshot. O’Brien appears happy at Boston College and the only program I see him possibly trading that in for is New England.   New Orleans Saints My Prediction: Aaron Glenn Wild Card: Joe Brady Comments: Glenn and Brady both spent time in New Orleans but have been gone long enough to be a breath of fresh air. Glenn would help them fix their defense which is likely to see a ton of turnover this offseason. Joe Brady would likely energize the fanbase due to his success their and as the Offensive Coordinator for LSU during their championship run. New Orleans refuses to part ways with their identity established in the mid-2000s by Loomis and Payton. These guys bring enough of that familiarity but are still “outsiders” enough to make an impact.   Chicago Bears My Prediction: Brian Flores Wild Card: Pete Carroll Comments: The Bears have a culture problem- Flores and Carroll can both help. Flores can win the lock room quickly and the Vikings lose their DC which is a win-win for the Bears. Carroll is interviewing with the Bears, but does he really want to take this on so late in his career? We will see.   New England Patriots My Prediction: Ben Johnson Wild Card: Bill O’ Brien Comments: The Patriots are going to offer the keys to their crumbling kingdom to the most sought-after candidate this decade. With a young QB in Drake Maye, a ton of cap room, and full support from Kraft, he will be able to shape the offense into what he wants. Bill O’Brien has not confirmed an interview yet and is rumored to be happy at Boston College. However, can the Boston native really pass up an opportunity to coach his former and hometown team?   New York Jets My Prediction: Rex Ryan Wild Card: Mike Vrabel/Ron Rivera Comments: Cleaning up this mess is not going to be easy and is likely going to take a strong personality who has coached before. Dealing with Johnson, Rodgers, Wilson wanting out, etc. Who would want this job? Well somebody with something to prove. All three candidates above have already interviewed and have established a winning culture at some point in their career. I think Vrabel gets bypassed in New England but manages to land a HC role this year. There is a chance Tom Brady recruits him to Las Vegas, so who better to bring in than the old Head Coach they have had the most success with the last 20 years or another similar personality in Rivera. Whether Vrabel lands here or Vegas, I would almost bet my net worth that Ashton Jeanty gets drafted there to replicate his success in Tennessee with Derrick Henry.   Jacksonville Jaguars My Prediction: Kellen Moore Wild Card: Robert Saleh Comments: Jacksonville is probably the 2nd least desired job on the market since Trent Baalke will be retained. There is a chance that Saleh decides to take another shot at the HC role, especially to fix the 31st ranked defense but he would be wise to take a Defensive Coordinator role with a contender for a couple of seasons for the sake of his career (FYI his old job in San Francisco is open). Moore has been around a little while and seems to always be in the mix. Let’s be honest, they aren’t getting Ben Johnson and Moore is the most experienced offensive guy on the list. Per me.

      I watched that live and my jaw dropped to the flow when he said that. I will have to rethink my views on Tepper.
