The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Not Thanksgiving without a Madden

That's the biggest thing. We were saying seven weeks ago, no way, he can't do it. Again, I think you see another evidence in, you can bench a rookie quarterback and he can come back, or a young quarterback, just like Anthony Richardson, who's had good moments. You can do that. We got into this soft, sensitive moment or decade here. Oh, you can't hurt his feelings. We grew up in an era where

Every quarterback got benched when they were young. Joe Montana, John Elway, Terry Bradshaw, Phil Sims, you f***ing name it. They got benched. Troy Aikman. I mean, that's the way it was.

Exactly. So it's not easy. And it's not easy when you are a Bryce Young, you go to a place like Carolina. One, you're not as good as maybe everybody touted you to be in the draft. And then two, you go to a team that's not very good at all. So like we always talk about, that's a tough situation. But he's just looking good.

And hopefully this offseason now they can spend the money around him to make him look good. Er muss in einer Tua Offense sein. Das muss er sein. Das ist, wo er gut ist. Er steht nicht im Kopf, schießt Lasern und Pfeifen auf dem Feld. Er ist wie, hey, mach es hier raus, mach es hier raus, hey, mach es in den Kopf, boom, in die Mitte. Das ist, was er ist. Er ist ein Punktschutz.

Yeah, he definitely does. And what they did behind the scenes, I don't know. And Billy, I think at some point they would have gone back to Bryce Young no matter what. I think the Andy Dalton car accident and all that probably expedited the process. But... They had to give him one more shot here. They had to see what he had.

They couldn't go into the off-season going, we're not going to see him again. Oh yeah, he'll be better next year. Yeah, he will. Why? Why will he be better? I don't know, because he will. No, they had to see some of this right here at some point. And I think it would have gone this way no matter what.

And now I think he's done enough and hopefully he can do enough here that it's starting to be positive, consistently good, like you're saying, Stu Gatz, to where, you know, hopefully he can impress them to make sure he's the starting quarterback there next year and, you know, beyond that.

Du glaubst an ihn und das ist das, was du gedacht hättest, dass du das Richtige tun würdest. Er zeigt einige positive Zeichen. Wenn er weiterhin positive Dinge hier am Ende des Jahres zeigt und all das tut, dann steckst du mit ihm. Ich bin so müde von der NFL und besonders der College Football. Es ist einfach so, dass alles immer auf dem Quarterback steht.

Ich meine, wie du gesagt hast, sie sind nicht weit weg vom Quarterback. Sie sahen nicht so gut aus wie Andy Dalton. Es war nicht so, oh mein Gott, sie sind jetzt Weltmeister. Andy Dalton ist jetzt da, holy crap, ja, ich habe sie verändert. Ich meine, es war nur ein bisschen besser als es war mit Bryce Young. Und jetzt kommt Bryce Young und zeigt dir, Build the team around him.

Let's see where it goes. How many guys in the NFL right now do we have that story? Oh, on crappy team, you didn't build the team around him and now he's on new team that has a good team and we go, oh, what did the last team do? Why did they do that? He's good. He's a starting quarterback. I mean, what is there, like 8 or 10 of those stories right now in the NFL?
