It isn't. This was Week 18 last year: And this was Week 16: Even when having success he wasn't pushing the ball super deep down field, but at least he was going beyond 15 yards far more often. Across those 60 attempts he had 9 completions past or at 15 and 6 at 20 or beyond... Plus a whole bunch of drops. This year he just isn't pushing the ball down the field and it's making it easy for teams to play the run, too. Due to his arm I think he needs to get timing down past 10 yards and maybe the big turnover in our receivers is part of why he isn't pushing the ball down field. Or maybe he can't see. Whatever the reason it needs to change.

Yup. 1 completion beyond 20 yards and only 3 past 15 yards. That's in 77 attempts. I'm not one that thinks Bryce needs to hit 40 yard passes but with how defenses play us he needs to push the ball a bit further down field.

Regarding BYs depth of target... Week 1 Week 2

How many of our 8 QBs were given 2+ seasons of starts? Not a whole lot. The way they are handling Bryce IS the right way. But he's showing all we need to know. Finding a QB is hard. But you don't stop doing it when you don't have one.

I will wait to see what happens on game day. I don't mind a coach blowing hot air towards fans. But there's no way he can think he looked good... Unless he thinks Bryce is the problem

We root for players that clearly try and that show some potential. They don't need to be super stars even. Of course, when they show early potential (Coker) or are already making a major impact (T-Mac) we are pretty damn excited about them. And many of us made excuses for XL last year, but this year... Man, he's just not it.

I think the vast majority of QBs only thrive or die based on their situations. But some are capable of making everyone else around them better in a way they redefine, or at least elevate, those situations. And some of the former group also just never will really have "it" when the moment matters. So far it feels like Bryce either needs the perfect situation or he just doesn't have "it". I suppose we'll get the season to see if that changes, but to call me skeptical is an understatement.

Playing for pff.. nobody open, good decision A+ grade on that play

Arguably Bryce's first TD and maybe second TD drive were. He did less than nothing until the game seemed surely out of reach. Then, when it looked like things could have turned the corner... He caved when it mattered most.

It's only 2 games. Give it time.

He isn't the biggest busy but the trade is one of the worst of all time imo. Not sure where it ranks, but it's pretty fuging bad.

Any chance they'd take Bryce with him?

Canales isn't great, but I think he's doing some work with our non-XL receivers. I do think Bryce limits him but he also gets into moments of idiot playcalling where he seems to forget his QB is smaller than he is and has to heave any ball beyond 10 yards half the time.

It sure looked like Chuba was open in the flat repeatedly. He may not have been but it looked it. He absolutely was on the intentional grounding but I'll grant Bryce wasn't going to be able to throw towards the other side of the field in that circumstance.

He acts a bit like a player that has already arrived, heh
