Read the boards and it should be pretty evident. If not I can't really help you.

Dude never dropped balls in college. He was aggressive and high pointed balls all the time. I think either something is still wrong with his wrist or he just needs to get his confidence. I don't think he was/is as raw as some people think. He is a rookie at the end of the day. Just like many rookies on this team that many here want to judge after a couple of games. I remember when many on this board were saying Derek Brown was a bust after a few games. I thought XL should have caught that pass yesterday and hopefully whatever is going on can be corrected.

Sometimes I feel like there are fans of other teams that post on here to make our fanbase look really stupid, but then I realize some of our fans just are. The kneejerk reactions about draft picks and then never admitting they are wrong when things work out.

Rivera did him in. We would be up late when the game was in hand and Rivera would run him over and over again. I remember telling my wife that he was going to end up injured and wondering what the hell was Rivera doing. Nobody's body can take that much of a beating and last. I can see him move into coaching one day. Very high football IQ.

When his footwork is on, he is money. Problem is like many when he is under pressure or duress he regresses back to his athleticism and the footwork goes to garbage. He also has a hard time with anything beyond his second read most of the time.

He should try for the part of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland with that look.

Should have just let him keep getting the massages. Apparently they were working for him.

The national narrative around this seems more like Tepper hate than anything else. If you go back and watch game film, Bryce is not seeing the field. Canales play design has receivers open, but Bryce is not seeing them, getting antsy and immediately looking for his check down. That combined with his lack of arm strength is making things extremely tough on him. His lack of height and not being able to see or throw above the line at times is also compounding things. I am not sure he will ever be any good, but what I see right now is that he is not ready to start. The narrative is look at how good Baker and Darnold are after they left, which is a freaking joke. Maybe just maybe they were not ready to start when they were thrown into those roles either. Jordan Love was not ready, but he was not forced into action either. He was able to sit learn and digest the game and when his time came he looks like he was ready. Was drafting Young #1 a mistake, I think probably so and that falls on Tepper and Fitt for sure. If we are bring honest Stroud is the exception when it comes to rookie performance. Very few rookies come out and play like he played his first year.

Lol I love how people "know" Canales stood up to Tepper and how a whole other group "knows" that Tepper told Canales to bench Young. Maybe after two weeks worth of terrible play it was just a natural decision to bench the guy. Maybe we can go get Malik Willis as some of you thought he was the next great player full of "potential"

Anytime you take ANY individuals and group them into something you are showing ignorance. It is the same mindset that causes things like racism. People are people. Some are good and some are not. I know many wealthy people that give a huge amount of their money and time to helping others and do this under the radar because they do not want any recognition, they just want to help others. They feel they have been given much and it is their mission to help others. Many of them employ a lot of people as well and by taking chances and starting businesses, they allow many others to earn a living and provide nice lives for their families. I cringe every time I hear people bash wealthy people. We have become a society that is not grateful for what we have and more feel entitled. If you feel entitled you will never be satisfied, but being grateful will allow you to appreciate what you do have. At some point most of us reach a point where we realize money is really just a trap that leaves you wanting more. Family and faith come into play much more as life goes on. I see so many people that say they can't make bills etc, while eating out all the time, buying stuff they want instead of what they need.

All I know is Person just needs to report. We don't really need to hear his butthurt whining in the process.

Great point. I totally overlooked that piece. I would say if they are being paid scholarships are no longer needed unless paid for from those same funds. No more tax money going to fund any athletes being paid by the school. I think with what you laid out here that should cover the student athlete payrolls.

They need to take a look at the State funding a school receives. If you have a kid at one of these football schools many times all of the money is flowing into athletics and athletic facilities while the regular student dorms are falling apart and many academic buildings are in bad shape, but check out that new and even bigger jumbotron. If the schools start paying, any state funding going toward their scholarships should be removed. I don't agree with our tax dollars paying college athletes. Let that money come from boosters and endorsements.

Contracts will be coming for these athletes soon.
