0-16

It could happen. It depends in part, imo, on if Smith can make it back from his injury and how far along AE is. I've given up completely on Jarrett. He just isn't in it. I thought he'd be something this season, but all he's been is a letdown.

Getting Otah back is going to be an enormous boost. It will open running lanes for the backs and it'll allow Clausen time in the pocket to actually pick people apart.

Good lord man, what are smoking. We played our butts off today and almost won this game..Did we mention they are last years Super Bowl Champs?? And, did we mention the Drew's name is like gold, to the announcers this is "the" QB in all of football.

I love it when our fan base can't think of anything good to say about our team. Yes, we got lots of growing pains to go through, but made leaps from last week to this week.

The only reason to say "we might go 0-16" at this point is simply because we have won zero games. This team has potential and talent. If you think this team is 0-16 bad, then you haven't ever followed a bad NFL squad closely for an entire season. Stay away from the car tailpipe, it simply isn't that hopeless.....

I can say good things...Clausen is our franchise QB, he had a solid game, Goodson is one of the best kick returners in the NFL and James Anderson had a coming-out party. All of which pales when you look at our record. And David Gettis has a lot of promise at WR.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
