Ahahaha even the coach has given up on Bryce. At least we've still got fans to prop him up

It's not like we have a promising young player behind him or something

Bryce is about to have them right where he wants them - down by 3 scores in the first half!

the entire team is sucking, INCLUDING Bryce.

Dowdle has some good moves but I don't think he's as strong an every down back, but a better pass catcher

If it's true the QB audibled into it you can't blame canales

There are tons of videos of analysts etc talking about how Bryce's footwork needs significant improvement (and it is pointed to as one reason why he looks weaker armed than he really is)

This was my reading on the situation, too. Thielen was happy to be here. But, if he can partially help his current team (trade value), and return home for his last hurrah, why not? I did not feel like he forced his way out of here last minute...

There was a time where 2024 looked promising, too. The brief period where XL looked like he could be salvaged, Brooks was back from injury and looking decent, JT was vaulting defenders...

Actually the first post that seems to have been negative was about the Texans dropping to 0-4. For once none of us negative nancies about Bryce initially derailed the thread. Then things went into the predictable comparison of only the last half season of games for both QBs...

Someone randomly brought up how Bryce was better than CJ lol

Absolutely this. And often the "great" #2 is only mediocre elsewhere. It's worth noting a good #1 also elevates those players. And imo TMac drawing coverage is going to have that effect.

I think this is true. He is still showing flashes, but his consistency is shot imo. I hope they get him OL help.

Youth feels like the future for us on D for sure. Well, and on offense. But at least we have David Moore making an entire side of the field unusable on offense.

Pretty much every fan of Stroud and the Panthers acknowledges his trajectory has been down for a bit. Despite this, we have to massively subset his career and ignore HIS accomplishments for the comparison to be even roughly equal between he and Bryce. That's how much better his career has been to date. We don't yet know for sure how his career will end but for any of you digging him I'd ask this: Would you rather have his accomplishments to date or Bryce's?

It's been said before but Thielens stats in Minnesota are IMO more about Minnesota than him. He's on a "new" team, missed the preseason, and is competing with at least 2 if not 4 receiving options that are as good or (massively in Jefferson's case) better than him. He might still be our number 1 in yards or something because he and Bryce had an insane connection but he'd probably be 3rd here too by end of season based on what we're seeing so far.

The idea fans can't complain without the direct ability / ideas to solve things is wild.

What a 4th quarter... Arizona has to keep their games interesting at the end, hahaah

Insane, Smith Njuba with the huge reception... Just need a few more yards...

Crazy turn of events. Darnold will get a chance to avoid overtime...

Darnold may never be better than a mid tier starter, but man does that feel like a huge upgrade at times.

What a throw by Darnold, goddamn. 35 yards down field dropped right into his arms

Yeah, he's a head scratcher. He has a ton of talent he just forces too much.
