There's no need for anyone to make things very personal beyond his abilities as a player and his performance on the field. I'll agree with that. But the kid does not need anyone throwing him a pity party. That's the last thing he needs. It might not be fair in the eyes of some but this has always been the weight of being a #1 pick. If anyone has moral concerns about this well you probably shouldn't be watching football anyways considering some of the fuged up players that have been allowed to remain in the league. Anyways the #2 pick has had the same weight put upon him and he was going to what was widely regarded as the worse situation to a franchise that's done nothing and has very little pieces to work with currently. He seems to be responding with a full package combination of leadership grit and determination that you would expect from someone picked there. We should and will expect the same from our #1 overall pick.

Nah he isn't in a hurry to come back because he was a Scott Fitterer apologist and that's blown up in his face upon the realization he is our worst general manager by far.

There are many things I like about Bryce. Both these guys are good human beings and have talent. I'm still going to watch and see how the rest of the season goes. But I can't delude myself and pretend we didn't look at the QB with the clear best arm talent available and say hey no thanks I'm good. That's going to take some more time than a month. Hopefully we get a real head coach in here next season. In the meantime this season the team is only sinking further. The locker room is only going to take so much of this too. Defensive players are already basically giving up. It's going to get uglier.

If go root for the Texans is all you've got you're standing in front of a tidal wave. If you can't handle the heat that these two will be talked about you might as well hide under a rock it's going to remain until one of them is no longer playing. We're over here looking at basic throws when our team is being blown out and trying to convince ourselves it's progress. When you pass up on the best arm in the class this is what happens.

My guy I'm going nowhere I'm just speaking my mind. It was a layup pick. This will be talked about for years these two guys careers will always be connected as long as they are both in the league. I still don't get why you jumped ship but you do you.

The reasoning for the signing was to help ease the transition for our rookie. I didn't think Sanders would be this terrible. I wanted an RB in the draft. Fitterer is short sighted always looking for instant even if it hurts the cap. We should have damn well known our oline was still a work in progress. You don't shop for running backs in free agency with the slop depth we've been fielding on the oline.

I'd still rather be saying this about the best QB in this years class though.

In fairness these same remarks were made about Dalton. Garbage time yada yada. And we actually kept that one close. It's always how it's going to go if your team is blown out. But. I will say today our defense was ass. It's looking like some guys in the locker room might be done.

There were a few things to like. Need to see it when it matters. I've heard a lot from certain folks here about garbage time stats so let's see some magic when the game is on the line or within reach.

I see his team lost missed the last update. Still more impressive than anything we've done sadly.

Game winning drive though.

Still can't believe we passed on that layup of a pick. Arm talent was there for all to see. But MUH LEADERSHIP.

Like the touchdown to Chark that's a nice throw to see. Too bad about the rest though..

I agree but Wilks would have been the new Rivera. We had our chance to make a run at the Eagles OC and Mr. Tepper was too impatient.

You draft that at #1 overall though. And you certainly don't trade what we did to do so.

Possibly mid-season. Should be upon the conclusion of losing this game though. Starting 0-5 after all this bluster about an all star staff and after all of Fitterer’s wasteful picks and acquisitions just get it over with. We're fooling no one and it's only going to get worse. Send them packing.

Dare I ask. How bad was the second pick?

It's a bad signing no way around it. My preference was to draft an RB and keep Foreman. The oline changes everything though. Remove the Eagles OL put in our OL this is what he looks like. We always needed more of a bruiser.

Good to finally be in the end zone.

How bad was the pick? Was it at least a downfield attempt?

Same one thought the Ian Thomas contract extension was wise.

You can't unequivocally"make up your mind" on Bryce after 4 weeks. He doesn't have the body of work that Reich does that tells us this is just who our new head coach is. He is inept and a dinosaur. But as for Bryce we cannot ignore the concerns that are rearing their head which were known when he was playing at Alabama. If these concerns do not dissipate to some degree as the season goes on the B word is inevitably going to enter the convo as much as some people who want to shout down any dissenting opinions want to deny it.

I appreciate the nuggets Cam is willing to offer. Hopefully he continues this with other prospects. I can't recall him speaking much about the other guys unless I missed it. Definitely he and Steve Smith went out on a limb for Bryce. Hopefully he proves them right we don't need anymore failures. But when it comes to draft picks anyone can be wrong even the folks who have years of knowledge. That's why GM's change around the league frequently the ones with long term staying power are rare. Some of it is just plain dumb luck at times. We'll see.

Word of the day. Bamboozled.
