We've given up 53 more points than we've scored on the season. Beat a few bad teams, got some fluke wins where we were outplayed, and a couple of good wins. People who think just because we win a game Bryce is good are ready to keep him around. We're not good an it's because we have a QB with the lowest ceiling and most limited game in the league. Dump him and watch this team fly without him next year

Yes, there were other specific reasons why we lost, but the big picture is he's a game manager at best and he had a pretty mid game which means no margin for error anywhere else.

Business decision. Wouldn't have mattered, but the way he was like "welp" was pretty annoying.

The only way Kamara would win over Chuba and Rico would be based on name recognition and how he played several years ago. Which to be honest feels like what you're doing here.

I agree with this. I've been impressed by what he's been saying all this year. Maybe it's true that he didn't do great in the pre-draft interviews, I don't know, but at this point I'm inclined to give him a chance. I do think Deion's involvement is what really killed him in the draft. I think Deion realized he made a major mistake and is clearly not going to continue to try to be involved.

It's all just Bryce dragging the average down*. *I'm joking, but there is a little bit of truth to it. A better QB would have probably thrown for 40 more yards a game which would bump up the league avg more than a yard.

I think some people are missing a simple point. If you put a ton of resources into a guy, you're going to give him every chance to succeed. That's reasonable, not stupid. But that benefit of the doubt has its limits, and three years is pretty much the limit. Unless he consistently plays very well the last four weeks he either will be gone or at least will have a fight on his hands. You can't just look at the past and assume it will continue into the future.

Very good. But he's been bad most of this year. You think they're going to make a huge decision that involves nine figures because two games? The team and FO know most of the wins have been in spite of him, not because of him. I don't know why you won't just admit you think he's the guy, it's not an insane position, it's just not popular on this board. You keep saying what you think the team thinks, what do you think? Where would you rank him among NFL QBs? Would you extend his contact?

He didn't just suck as a rookie. He sucked TWO WEEKS AGO

You literally did compare him to Mayfield. One is a top 10 QB, one is a bottom 10 QB. NFL teams replace crappy QBs all the time.

That's a legitimate question. I think two things here. One, I think there is a recognition it was a mistake to roll with Dalton as the only other QB. At a total minimum I am certain Dalton will be cut and a real backup brought in. Could be a vet Mariota or Winston or could be younger upside guy like Howell or Lance. But I'd bet anything that will happen. Two, the better we are the more obvious it is that we could be legit if we had a good QB. When we sucked it was easy to give Bryce a pass and let him grow as a passer. Times have changed. We could make a playoff run with just decent QB play. We will either sign Jones or throw darts to see what we get. Last, Tepper may like Bryce and want to protect his ego for drafting him, but you don't make a billion without being cold blooded when necessary. Canales and Morgan aren't dumb. They will tell Tepper at a minimum we need real competition, and he will pitch Bryce to the side if he thinks it means a shot at getting to the SB. Too many people here (not you) think that because Bryce has been protected that will go on forever. It won't.

I think you're going to be surprised by what happens this offseason then. yeah, maybe they pick up the 5th year option. But there is no way they're going to roll into 26 with only Bryce as a legitimate QB. And if he loses the job in camp or preseason, he loses it. The comparison to Mayfield is a huge stretch. Mayfield is a good QB, Bryce is not.

They are not going to poo on him in pressers during the season, but they are not stupid and they see just how much he is holding this team back.

But the thing is, Bryce is so mediocre/bad that anyone they bring in will be competition.

Why do you think Bryce would beat out whoever we bring in? If you ranked the NFL QBs, where would you put him?
