Yes you pick up the option. Shouldn't even be a debate at this point. It will be harder to replace him with a better player at a comparable or cheaper price. He's improved since last season, hopefully he continues to improve into the future.

It's Dave's call. The players Evero was given to work with at the beginning of the year weren't amazing, and the ones he's stuck with using now due to injury are even worse. If Evero is actually calling solid games with sound strategies but the talent is so ass that people are incapable of executing the simplest of tasks, keep him. If it's the opposite, move on.

As of right now, 6 wins. Depends entirely on what we do in the offseason though.

I didn't give a single cherry picked example, I gave you a three game sample against playoff teams in which he did in fact, do enough to win. I'm not crowning him the franchise savior but I am saying he is improving and doing enough on a personal level to win. He can't catch the ball in the endzone for his WRs. He can't overcome bad inept calls by the refs taking points off the board. He can't be the running back that needs to hold onto the ball in OT. He can't be the defense giving up game winning drives in multiple games after securing a lead with less than two minutes to go. He does need to be more consistent and he needs to put more complete games together rather than some late game heroics, there are too many 3 and outs throughout the season for my liking. Hopefully that improves with more experience from both Bryce and Canales, but he isn't padding his stats in garbage time like Caleb Williams. He's played well. Not great, but well. C+/B- levels of QB play, which is a huge jump up from his F grade last year. He is attempting throws that Bridgewater never did, look at the passing charts from the games since he's come back compared to Teddy. Teddy was allergic to throwing past 10 yards down the field, but would uncork one bomb per game. Bryce is feasting in the intermediate levels of the field (10-20) with rainbows that keep falling into our receivers hands. I'm here for it. The hope is that the trend continues and the team puts more and more complete games together next year. But let's be honest, The defense is the biggest issue with the team going into next season. That needs to be addressed far more than finding Bryce's replacement. QB Class next draft is looking solid, if he shits the bed next year, I'm all for drafting the new guy.

I called between 4 and 6 wins and wanted to see improvement the second half of the season while being competitive in games we lose. We have done both things. That's all I wanted. This was a house money year for Dave and Dan. I am satisfied. Build on it, get to 7-9 wins next season while being in the fight for a wildcard spot. There's hope for the first time in years.

3 straight games Bryce had the ball in his hands at the end of the game and he personally did enough to win, but you say he didn't do enough? Do you want him to play defense too? With him on the field and under a minute to go, would that be him doing enough to win? Do you want him to be the running back so that he doesn't fumble the ball in OT after getting into FG range? With your logic, Allen didn't do enough in the playoffs back in the 2021 AFC championship game when the defense gave up a score with 13 seconds left on the clock. What a scrub, should have found a way to win.

I feel like this take is entirely disingenuous based on the WAY we've lost many of the games since he's been back as the starter. Bryce led a potential game winning drive in the 4th against the Chiefs scoring with under 2 minutes to go. Defense then let's Mahomes scramble for 30 yards into FG range for the game winner. Bryce did enough to win, Defense lost the game. The very next week - Bryce throws a TD with 30 seconds left on the clock putting the team ahead 23-20. Defense then allows a FG to tie and send the game to OT. Bucs get the ball first in OT and miss their FG attempt. Bryce leads the team within FG range to win it and Chuba immediately fumbles the ball. Bucs go on to march down the field and kick a FG to win. The very NEXT week - Punt pins us on our own 2 yard line and on 3rd down Bryce escapes a sack and safety to get the first on a pass to XL. Later on that drive he throws a deep dot to XL who drops the would be go ahead TD. Panthers lose. Dallas - He was ass AZ - good game all around, showed he could beat teams with his legs along with his arm. Stats weren't amazing, but the ground game was humming, and he still made some very good high level throws. Bryce has absolutely done enough for us to win MULTIPLE games this year that we ended up losing. Our defense is completely devoid of talent due to injuries and bad roster management over the past 5 years. That's our biggest issue at the moment.

I just see ass in that snapshot in time. Both sucked here. Rhule was a poo coach and Fitterer was a poo GM. Stop facebook stalking your exes.

OP is a silly goose

I had us at 4 wins minimum, 6 wins ceiling. It was a building year to try and right the ship and see improvement as the season went on, and I'll be damned if that isn't exactly what happened and I'm going to nail my prediction.

Sir, I don't know what you're on but Jalen Coker went undrafted.

I swear some of you people genuinely don't want to see Bryce play well, like at all. It's like If he isn't putting up 300+yards and 2 TDs he's playing average, but probably below average because he only threw for 150 total yards. It benefits us long term if he continues to grow and get better.

Order was 4,3,2,1 so Lance was 4 and watson was #1
