Bryce Young Benched. Rams Project?

[Soul Surfer]

*Quarterback whisperer* Dave Canales, hired specifically to get Bryce Young up and going is giving up on him two games into the season to replace him with Andy Dalton.

What if the Rams could get him for a second rounder?

Give McVay a project to keep him interested and the Rams a long-term quarterback (?)

 

[dieterbrock]

2nd rounder? No...
4th/5th rounder? Heck yeah

 

[Londoner]

He’d actually be able to see over our OL seeing that they’re bent double, injured, all the time.

No, thanks.

 

[Memento]

No.

For one, we don't have a second-round pick this year; we gave it to the team that Bryce Young is on to move up for Braden Fiske. And there's no way I'm giving up a second-round pick in 2026.

For two, Bryce Young is terrible. He's small, slight, has no accuracy, no mobility, no elite trait that would justify spending such a high pick to take on his salary. There's nothing that screamed "elite #1 overall QB" in his draft year (I would've taken Stroud or Richardson.), and there's certainly nothing that says it now.

Carolina would have to give back our second-round pick for us to take on Young.

Agree wholeheartedly.

It is definitely one of the most bewildering number one picks of recent years, if not ever.

 

[Allen2McVay]

… Bryce Young is terrible. He's small, slight, has no accuracy, no mobility, no elite trait …

Yeah, OK … but aside from that, he’s pretty good … Right?

 

[Memento]

Agree wholeheartedly.

It is definitely one of the most bewildering number one picks of recent years, if not ever.

Honestly, Richardson was my favorite quarterback in that class before they were selected. Serious unicorn potential with him in Indy; they just have to give him weapons.

C.J. Stroud is C.J. Stroud, and I questioned why the Panthers didn't select him instead of Young.

Bryce Young clearly benefitted from a dominant Alabama squad, and unlike Tua Tagavailoa, he never had the arm talent necessary for the NFL.

Young is a guy that could benefit from sitting and being a back up for a couple of years.

As of right now, though….he just doesn’t have it.
He looks lost and overwhelmed out there.

As @dieterbrock said.
No way on a 2nd.
I would make the move for a 5th, though.

I am open to second chances on guys who are in such tragically awful situations.

 

[muggmeister]

Not even for a 2028 7th rounder. He is unfixable. He is an untalented version of Kyler Murray

It just takes some QBs time to figure out the speed and complexity of the NFL.

Sitting a young QB use to be the norm.
Those days are mostly gone for early rnd picks.

 

[Jacobarch]

Nope, he looks terrible, complete and utter bust.

 

[Corbin]

Rather role with Grab A Pole tbh

 

[den-the-coach]

He’d actually be able to see over our OL seeing that they’re bent double, injured, all the time.

No, thanks.

Too short, too small and we have enough injury prone guys.

 

[Giles]

No he looks really bad...like really bad. If Dalton comes in and looks way better it'll show what the problem was for that offense.

 

[AvengerRam]

Pass.

 

[Psycho_X]

If he is cut like Baker Mayfield was than sure I'd pick him up for the F of it. I would not trade anything for him.
First off, we can't afford his rookie contract as the 1st overall pick so would only be worth it if he was cut and cleared waivers and signed to minimal deal.
Second off, we need to keep draft capital to build this team further unless it's being traded for a proven commodity.
Third, he's 5'2".
Fourth, he sucks.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Rather Roll With Grab-A-Pole

I fixed the spelling of roll/role but you should consider putting that on T-shirts and coffee mugs.

Make a Fortune!!!

Forget it Jake, it's Carolina.

 

[Merlin]

I'd be ok with it. Because the situation was shit from day one. Has to be cheap too of course, then he sits behind Stafford and Jimmy.

McVay said he couldn't pull Stafford because Bennett didn't know the handoffs he was planning on running the rest of the way. How Bennett couldn't be fucking ready is beyond me. So I am done with Bennett.
