I would have to disagree simply because Bryce leans play extender so that has led to a lot more big hits when he is scrambling. And he has definitely taken some serious shots in his time here. Bigger shots that some said he could. As you say, he isn't going to play like Josh Allen or Cam(those are the real examples you are searching for). But he doesn't wilt like David Carr did, either. Overall, I am no longer worried about Bryce's durability. That seems just fine. I am very, VERY worried about his QB abilities. That's a real concern. That's way too much of a theoretical argument for me to lend a ton of creedence to. I am not here to critique a QB's workout regimen. Between they, the team trainers and their own personal trainers it should be something that is tailored to whomever. If that isn't happening, it just is what it is and they probably didn't dedicate themselves enough. Again, far from a worry for me with Bryce. His NFL QB ability is the sole concern for me.

This seems to be a relatively long running issue, IMO. The LB's have not been a priority since the Luvu signing.

Someone in the structure doesn't value ILB's, IMO. Could be Evero, could be Dan.

Eh....I just want to see BPA for the most part. I don't want to see another desperate draft like we used to see with Rhule and Fitterer. Defense should be on the forefront for sure.

Can't do it all in one offseason. Hopefully they make some progress in the draft.

I think that was part of the reason Mayo was out. That relationship soured hard and quick between Kraft and BB.

Yeah, that whole scenario was fuged up.

I mean, let's not cheerlead the man getting injured. That's low class even by Huddle standards.

Well he didn't dramatically change when he was over Bryce last year. I think this is literally just his offense.

Yeah, honestly he has been significantly more durable than this Superman-esque QB in Anthony Richardson that so many here lusted for. If anything, Bryce has dramatically outdone the qualms about his size and durability. Now his QB play.....woof.

That was worse than Bryce's worst NFL game of his career to date. He was fuging atrocious.

Well that is the difference between Cam and a lot of QB's. I certainly hope no one is confusing Bryce with an elite QB talent anymore. The remaining Bryce question is really if he is even an NFL starting QB.

Buffalo is not playing like an elite team. That New England team that whipped us is also not that good of a team. We will see how it goes.

I think we need to let the 2025 class develop. Remember at one point early during last season the 2024 class was gonna be a killer. And we had all kinds of people chirping about how the 2021 Draft was the greatest of all time. Early returns are promising. Let's hope it continues.

Look, guys....this horse has been beaten enough. CJ struggling doesn't mean Bryce is good or even better. Yes it can raise questions about the grass always being greener but regardless of which of those horses your bandwagon is hitched to, you need big improvements in play. Period. The one thing you can say for CJ is that at least he had a full season of showing elite play. We are still waiting on that for Bryce between benching, injuries, etc.

Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.

I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule. The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse. So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too.

I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC. Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.

That includes YAC. IAY is a metric that shows air travel of all attempted passes, so it is a far more accurate representation of pass depth.

IDGAF if it's horizontal, vertical or backwards in terms of passing attack. Just make it work and be efficient. We don't seem to be able to accomplish even that on a consistent basis.

Yeah we had that here too. Baby GOAT, Kyle Allen. How did that turn out? Same as it did in NY for Mike White.

His career Intended Air Yards/Attempt is 6.8. Literally almost a full yard lower than Bryce. He is a dink and dunk QB.

That's a fair point. Also not benefiting from the defensive scheme either, IMO.

Jenkins was a more of a pass rushing threat on a more consistent basis. He wasn't the physical freak DB is. DB has a much higher ceiling. He just needs to keep getting better and keep dominating.

I think DB CAN be better. I don't think he is quite yet.
