Fair. He was just not a QB I believed in overall. Above average among top 50 teams but not much more.

The issue is it's hard to make a career on 5-7 good plays a game and the rest being average to well below average. At this point, Bryce's issues seem to be....mostly Bryce. Not all, to be sure. But way too many.

Carson Beck was when I knew it was over.

Lol. I wish. Long retired, thankfully.

They are similarish level players. I think White is a worthy and rosterable 3rd stringer. Hendon is a UFL/XFL guy.

Can't wait for this 40+ pass attempt game plan!

I would say Dalton is Bryce +10-15%. So, basically almost what you are saying.

Is LaNorris Sellers the Bryce Young of Anthony Richardson's??

I can tell you after seeing Hendon Hooker live in an NFL preseason game, I never want to see him live in a Panthers game. Jack Plummer clone, although arguably worse.

Outliers are always memorable because they are outliers. They wouldn't be memorable otherwise.

Heisman trophy is locked up. Two Arch Manning early TD's. Get prepared for a 24/7 ESPN "IS ARCH MANNING THE TEXAS GOAT???!!!!" campaign.

If they beat UGa, that would definitely be a big boost. I did forget about that.

We will see.

I think you misread my post or got confused.

I am just telling you, don't be surprised to see a 12-1, non-conference champion ACC team lose out to a bunch of 2 and 3 loss Big Ten and SEC teams. Not saying it's right but college football is fixed when it comes to this type of poo. More so than the NBA Draft Lottery.

That seals the deal that Bryce is out. Also means the White stans will weep bitterly.

Don't forget 13-0 FSU. They very much didn't deserve a playoff bid and I am not 100% sure a 12-1 ACC team would either. Lots of variables between then and now but you do have to remember the ACC is a mid-tier G5 conference. You have to be pretty close to being perfect.

If they lose a game, they will likely not be in the top 10 and it's debateable they will make the playoffs.

They are both top 10 teams and undefeated but Mendoza has been both better, his team has been insanely dominant and his resume is substantially better. He will probably get some consideration, at least. Largely due to the very weak field so far. I will also point out that the Heisman has been the consistenly least respectable award in all of US college revenue athletics and major professional athletics. I view it as basically the MTV Best Kiss award equivalent in athletics.

That's Expected Points Added after avoiding a sack. That has zero relationship to anything regarding the Red Zone on the surface. "Good at avoiding sacks" isn't necessarily tied to that directly. Sack% is a little better metric for that, I would think. I did misinterpret your original post as "good at avoiding sacks IN THE REDZONE." I see you were making two claims.

I think Mendoza is a very clearly better player. Also, the Heisman is traditionally the best QB or RB on a top 10 ranked team. Has literally never been "best player" at any point in it's history as an award.

Well poo. I thought this was a key bump.

Glorified option QB in the modern era is a tough sell, TBH. It's a weak class but getting 43% of your season's total in passing TD's in one of your 7 games to date is not an easy sell. Close to 300 yds/GM of offense is very respectable. I am just not sure we are in an era where a guy like that is in serious consideration without insanely dominant stats. ACC POY, for sure.

Yeah, those mascots frequently overstep but you gotta be self aware enough to know that dumb kid has nothing to lose. Cam Newton does. Love him but disappointed in him.

Dalton has literally made more throws over the same time period. And that isn't a glowing Andy endorsement. It's a damning statement about Bryce.
