Mr. Scot

I don't know that anyone's expecting anything like that. Most are predicting the fifth year option but anything beyond that is speculation. Dan Graziano pondered the possibility of a short-term, mid-range contract but that's it.

The thing with the Ravens wasn't exactly a positive. As far as his abilities, his college tape showed a guy that made occasional highlight reel plays but didn't put together full game performances. So far, what pro analysis I've seen looks about the same.

We are discussing possibilities. But most of us think this particular "possibility" would be a really bad idea. And not only because of his attitude but because while highlight reel scouting of him might paint a rosy picture, bfull game scouting tells a different story.

Not well enough to justify what teams have to put up with. Terrell Owens was a phenomenal player, but teams kept dumping him because the drama was too much. Sanders is nowhere close to the kind of player Owens was, so he won't get as much leeway. As far as "the question", when it comes to entitled brats, problem children, headcases, etc. It's only that simple for the fans that have no contact with him other than watching them on TV. For the coaches, players and others that have to deal with them every day, it's not simple at all.

The word there is entitlement. And no, NFL teams aren't gonna want to deal with that...nor should they. Realistically, if he didn't have his dad's name behind him, nobody would be hyping this kid as the next big thing.

It also takes patience to not give up resources for a guy who's had two starts, one of those being against the worst team in the league. As mentioned, that's Matt Flynn style thinking.

He's following logic set forth by the great 17th century football coach John Milton A rookie with a losing record in college refusing to sit behind a well established NFL starter is definitely a red flag.

I wouldn't really argue with that either.

I say no chance First of all because it's not going to happen. I say it also because if Cleveland actually was willing to trade him, that would be a bit of a red flag that we were about to get fleeced. And finally, because there's no way I can get on board with trading for a guy whose sample size is barely bigger than Matt Flynn's.

No chance

At this stage of the season, that might be reasonable.

Ouch

Yeah sorry, the "everybody who doesn't see it my way has no credibility" argument is never valid. Intelligent people disagree...often.

I already did, and no I don't.

I'm citing reports from Joe Person, Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano among others. I've also said repeatedly that I'd prefer to move on at some point, but realistically that's down the road. I doubt you'll find much of anybody among the beat writers, talking heads and reputable sources who doesn't believe Bryce is getting the option. If you find one, feel free to link it
