  1. I think it depends on how the bills game go. the nfc south is winnable, especially with the Bucs roster rotting on the side of the road.
  2. Teams have a year of tape on him. however I think he’s been good in general outside of one game against George Pickens who low key might be a top five receiver in the nfl. watching one game against Dallas and making a whole opinion on his season is pretty much what national reporters do tho
  3. For the first time in a hot minute the Panthers might think they’re buyers. if anything happens at the trade deadline which never happens but hmmmmmmm https://x.com/fieldyates/status/1981358611591799176?s=46 The Dolphins restructured the contract of starting LB Jordyn Brooks by converting base salary into a signing bonus, creating $3M in 2025 salary cap space.
  4. Slippery in the pocket and somehow avoids big hits I have a theory tho that defenders don’t really know how to tackle him since if they reach forward they’re generally going to get hands to the face called on them. also the Hail Mary at the end of the half against Jacksonville was bizarre. A DB blitzing from the corner had a kill shot on Bryce and then just kinda stopped running. I wonder if they’re being coached against hitting him hard because it’d look so bad, even a legal hit, it’d draw a flag.
  5. Yeah but last year thielen got hurt in the raiders game and didn’t play until Bryce was back. Diontae stopped taking his meds and wasn’t really a factor either. Most of daltons stretch his top receiver was XL.
  6. Also gotta think Bryce and his “camp” are nervous about what happens if Dalton balls out like Bryce hasn’t done all season.
  7. Really sucks for him since his best trait is how shifty he is in the pocket. I kinda think this is just narrative crafting for a team/player that’s very conscious of it. he’ll be a “last minute scratch” but gave such a heroic effort and he wants to be out there with the team etc etc
  8. i dont think his post nfl career is gonna get that rough
  9. i mean im not saying the options aren't meager oh god i dont want to listen to announcers talking about how touch or resilient he is or whatever
  10. 4-3, over 500 for first time in career, bills coming off a bye week with a weak defense, hasnt really shown he’s worth an extension, etc. plus if he misses this game then you definitely sit him against Green Bay.
  11. I think horn was covering Jake Ferguson that game which I can understand. Pickens is a monster and most corners in the league can’t man him up, obviously not Jackson. But we absolutely do not have a linebacker that can stay with Ferguson.
  12. People are really buying hard on Wallace after going up against some cupcakes. he is a very limited player.
  13. I mean this probably is the biggest game of his nfl career.
  14. I think Jaycee and Derrick might just be that good
  15. We’re probably going to be drafting middle of the pack this year. Prime first round linebacker territory
  16. I’m sweating. Bryce has to know the stakes of this season for his career. He might try to come back too early. Trevor Lawrence did that, was terrible, they missed the playoffs because of it; he still got the contract extension, and now he looks like damaged goods. but he got the bag so whatever I guess.
  17. They also tried to sign perryman that season but he got himself cut, exact reason up to speculation. they had that slow white guy from Denver. uh….shaqs contract was renegotiated like every year from 2021-2024 if that counts Drafted, uh…..Brandon Smith?
  18. What about the blood flow part? How do you think the body transports anti inflammatories, signaling proteins, (in part) clears out dead tissue? It’s why anemic people are poor surgical candidates; they won’t heal. Or why people with poor vascular systems have wounds that never heal. Blood heals things. Blood makes muscles go. This is not controversial. What do you think cyclists using EPO are doing? Why do you think blood flow restriction training is the standard for athletes rehabbing various injuries? it takes two seconds to look this up. This study was about chronic ankle instability in general, but the results are comparable. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9081407/ as someone who is currently going through this for a much more serious injury it’s exhausting. Larger amounts of lean muscle mass leading to improved healing results isn’t even controversial. Bigger people are generally going to have more muscle mass, and athletes are going to have more lean muscle mass. As an extreme example, why do you think resistance training is emphasized so much for the 50+ population?
  19. Panthers were the first game without Tyreek iirc
  20. Let’s see where they rank in two weeks
  21. another thing working against bryce is he sprained his ankle by rolling it OUT (eversion), not IN (inversion). Ankle joint is MUCH stronger against eversion than the opposite. you can try this by sitting at your desk. Put the outside edge of your foot on the floor. Easy, right? Do the same with the opposite side. An everted broken ankle is actually an ortho trauma emergency, because if the trauma was strong enough to evert and break it, it probably did neurovascular damage as well.
  22. Fumbles lost is very misleading, since once that ball hits the ground it's a complete free for all and not really predictable. Hard to judge where a prolate spheroid is going to bounce. Even a fumble recovered is a drive killing play. There's a lot better ways to make this comparison, especially since Bryce was benched for a good chunk of 2024.
  23. There's a lot of reasons for this! Bryce is a good athlete for a person his size, but bigger athletes are better athletes, and the bodies work more efficiently. Not just at the mechanical level, but at the cellular. Bigger, faster athletes require better, more efficient systems etc. 1. Physiologic reserve - Bryce is a smaller, more slender guy. There's just not a lot of him. people with less amounts of muscle mass (generally) will heal more slowly than someone like Cam. Similarly, peole with high amounts of body fat will heal from mechanical injuries more slowly than someone with less BF and similar lean muscle mass. It's just one of those things. Same thing with how his actual injury doesn't look like much. Imagine an NFL player suffering some horrific looking injury and being fine in two plays. Then think of how easy it was, even when you were young, to roll your ankle and be down for 2 weeks. 2. Less blood flow - blood flow leads to healing, especially with tendon injuries because they're not inherently vascular. High ankle sprains are actually a bone injury as well. Bryce is just little. There's not a lot of blood in there to transport the healing blood factors. Imagine how tiny his ankles are. This is similar to the reason Alex Smith had such a radical surgery to heal an infection in his shin/calf; there's just not a lot of meat there to bring blood to get in antibiotics in there to fight the infection. So they cut a hunk of flesh off his thigh and attached it to his shin. Looks awful, but it worked. 3. Can't handle as much rehab - he's smaller, will get tired more quickly, will take longer to recover, etc. 4. medical history - really only had one injury in the past, it was an "ac sprain" after a tackle against TAMU, and it took him weeks to recover.
