After another, uh, subpar afternoon for Bryce Young, the team announced this morning that he will be benched.

Last year’s number one overall pick will give way to Andy Dalton moving forward. So, what should Bryce do with his free time?

• Focus on the Future: keep things positive. Don’t dwell on the past successes, only envision the good things that lay ahead. If there’s one thing Young has that every QB needs, it’s a short memory.
• Play Monopoly: not just playing the board game, which usually does kill a lot of time. Bryce can also participate interactively as the thimble game piece.
• Deep Cleaning: it’s always a good time to tidy up the house; while he may need some help with the rest of the house, if Young can get on his tippy toes he could get his baseboards shimmering in no time.
• Jockey: a potential career change, and would be in plenty of time to make next May’s Kentucky Derby.
• Ratatouille: a great way to keep in the game, Bryce would have more than enough room in The Red Rifle’s helmet to get in game visual reps.

This benching is surely only a small bump in the road for what will turn into a giant career for Bryce Young. We won’t sell him short; he will reach heights he never thought possible. The future wins will dwarf this teeny-weeny setback.
