That was me. Overall it has tightened up. Kickoffs are good. FGs are good normally. Punting game is good. PR isn’t bad. I didn’t see what happened on the block, who let the guy through. I knew we were putting a couple of new guys out there but thought they we gunner types. Chisena.

He dooms us to probably a losing record. Haven’t we had enough of that? Take a chance. Houston’s backup killed it yesterday. There are other backups around the league better than Bryce. They couldn’t be that expensive to acquire. Jake was a backup put on a good team.

Lol on an offense with Corbett, XL, Sanders. I know we are past the 1.1 expectations. But he is supposed to make guys better; he maybe did that with a washed AT and that’s it.

No sooner than the ball was put in his hands to do something with, it went south. Aside from trying to get wide in the run game, I don’t know what Canales could have done. The game was 3 points, and the main goal was to keep it there at that point and the way that was done was not put it on Bryce. Just keep pounding the line and hope something breaks, hope the defense makes a play, etc. All better than trusting BY9 to make something happen. Now I am no OC/XO guy that is just the layman’s perspective. And I was watching on radio. So, blind. Luke did say they need to get out wide and see if they could make the corner

He played well for the whole game. It wasn’t any of the suck for three quarters and do just enough to win. The worst or almost worst defense in tne league. You get into the middle rankings, nope.

I thought that we would see that a good bit and on downfield routes.

Yeah I was complaining about that too in the latest round of Bryce debates last week. He isn’t doing anyone any favors.

None so blind as those who will not see. They don’t want to see. Is it a ‘safe space thing? Who knows…. Dallas was his ceiling, and he has not been able to raise his floor.

None so blind as

Nothing could be much worse than yesterday. Canales hid him as long as he could. As soon as he asked him to do something the floodgates opened. I was thinking just hold auditions every week.

Yeah this was predictable too. It likely won’t change much until we get a different QB.

The situation with the quarterback muddies the waters. I am sort of where I was on Bryce which is remove the excuses and let him show what he is. I hate to say I think we know but thinking and knowing can be a little different.

I don’t think I’d want him if he were cheap but with that contract? Hell no.

I have said the same thing for years now. It was beyond belief for me. It took me one viewing of his pro day to know. There was zero doubt. And I am just a guy that has watched football a long time, not an evaluator. I didn’t play QB ever. I don’t think the scouts had any real input. And I could never buy that Reich didn’t know better. Or anyone that played in the NFL for that matter. Especially defensive guys. Look at the physical aspects, not a single plus. And then I saw the footwork which is completely unique to him, that was a major red flag. You can’t easily change things like that.

Yeah lol. I know. I was begging anyone who would listen please don’t draft him. There just isn’t a single NFL level ‘plus’ physical trait to offset his negatives. 3rd day gamble was where I had him.

Same as here. He was never going to make it in the NFL with his limitations. Maybe he latches on as a backup somewhere. If he got really serious about his footwork and mechanics there is a slim chance he could do better. But he hasn’t been able to so far and changing that stuff and getting to where it comes without thinking, is just very difficult to do and takes years.

Morgan and Canales are in year two. I was referring to an arrangement made with them.

I look at like there could have been an agreement to give Bryce two years while they build the team out some more. Could have been three. He has 7 more games to change peoples’ minds and I know full well that a nice job and a win next week gets a lot of people back on his ‘side’. Some still are. They are just laying low around here today.

Yep to the condensed playing field we are working with. Defense has all kinds of advantages. Hia balls up the middle seem to have velocity if he is mechanically sound. But in general and especially the boundary stuff, he doesn’t have a lot zip. So one more advantage to coverage guys.

Hey I know I am mean lol. Just tired of this grind of going along with this years long thing that has never really been good. He is a good kid trying to make his dream. I would say he has had it. Hiesnam Trophy , number one overall in the NFL Draft, 2 plus years starting at QB in the NFL… he seriously overachieved for his size.

If I thought the league was crooked, and I might think that, yeah it had that feel to it. They tried their best. Anything more would be too overt, you can’t win them all.

The Panthers cutting Bryce would be a blip he isn’t winning for us. He just is there and makes some smallish contributions - when he isn’t hurting us.

He has such fuged up footwork and throwing mechanics, which he needs the footwork for drops and all but I am speaking of how it integrates into his throwing. One of the last straws with Reich was Tepper’s demanding g Reich fix his footwork that week. Lol. Reich was like it takes an off-season. So Canales worked on it pretty hard to start 2024 . I’ll just retell what I saw early 2024. You could see in the first real lion we hit which was the Buffalo preseason drive that he had, where his footwork was there. 123 plant drive off it to throw. You could see it. the season opener you could see it until the beginning of the 2nd qtr I think. Somewhere in there. Then he dropped it. Went back to the way he was in school and had always done it. That led to his benching. You can see it when he gets off the bench in the garbage time drives. He doesn’t make it a priority though. I got so tired of it that I went to radio this year. And watch the video a couple days later. I am burned out of monitoring his progress lately. so can’t help with this year but am betting it is about the same. Going by his results.

It was his mental mistakes though that made it so bad Which he should get poo for. Hel I was a big supporter but after that decided I don’t need to see him again. A game like today will soften that attitude some.

Can’t argue that. I generally cut him slack but that has been an area I have criticized since year one. Or had questions about. Early on when he was speaking.
