The mechanical issues were no surprise. I used Tiger Woods’ struggles for an analogy and people just ignored it. If you recall he was setting the world on fire for years and got it in his head that his swing needed improving. Rebuilding. Because it wasn’t perfect, I guess. He was never really the same, probably age and injuries factored into the falloff by the time he got transitioned but he struggled for years to get there. Changing your ingrained mechanics to a second set of ingrained mechanics is a years long thing. It all looks good until the pressure gets ramped up and then you default to the familiar and comfortable. Until you get the new stuff just as familiar and comfortable. That is no overnight thing. Or as Tepper thought, fix it this week lol. Said that poo to Frank, allegedly. Lol. Bryce has the weirdest worst footwork I have ever seen.

Jamies is who I want to see.

He is completely dependent on maximizing his velocity via proper throwing mechanics. Being set and driving it with his lower body. Someone said something maybe it was here that they notice his throws have some zip when he is moving forward. Like out in space and gets the momentum. Without that momentum or being set and planting he loses velocity and with it timing accuracy and any advantage he could get from anticipation.

He got hurt in his second year I think the second game. Ankle. I think he was getting his shot in SF. Twisted a knee the year before. That is something that would be concerning to me. Durability.

I thought you had it pretty good. The wonky unworkable mechanics and the weak arm put together are a bad recipe. Add the lack of field vision from being that short he was screwed and so was whoever took him.

I want three QBs on the roster if we sign a Lance type and draft a guy.At least to start with. Lance seems to be injury prone so definitely if it is him. Maybe a vet that could be traded if the draft pick shows anything or if the pick doesn’t then may f practice squad for him

Not sure I agree but that’s beside my point, which is this could easily cause resentment towards the ‘tattlers’ from the ‘slackers’ even though they weren’t named. This could be a seed.

Like high school size. I guess he just stopped growing.

Most likely.

It certainly was. Try to tel that to most people and you got piles of turfs for your trouble. And years now of BS. arguments and stats and excuses. AND you are too negative. damn right I am negative on him it is common sense.

Yeah people say design an offense around him. So what would that really look like? He is okay at 1st and goal distances, so that is where you focus your attack? That can’t work. It cannot work without throwing down the field, and who is gonna do that for him?

He looks the same to me as he did in 2023. Generally. Meaning he is maxed out. The stat about 10-19 shows it is worse than I even thought. Some people won’t listen to anon from a message board but the radio and TV people saying the same stuff gets more people open to the idea that isn’t everything but Bryce like they have been clinging to these past seasons. So maybe there will be a lot more support for making a change.

Not speaking for him but we are in such a state that people are getting desperate.

You make a good point.

Yeah. I still try to do the 24 hour rule. I usually make it at least 10 or so. Sometimes even overnight. Not losing a game in which you scored 13 and 16 is a positive, we could easily have been 0-4. Gave up 76 in those same 4. So we scored 11.25 and gave up 19 ppg. With an offense a team that holds the opposition under 20 should win most games.

It wouldn’t even take him having to say much. Something like, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and bam same QB room. Bryce fooled everybody, almost, with his improved play. making them wishfully think he would keep on getting better. And I am ready for that to happen again. It is the sort of thing like when a person dies, you want to see them in the casket before you will believe they are really dead. I have to see him released or traded before I believe he can’t come back and bite me.

The last 4 games the team has scored 45 points, total. 11.25 PPG. And we are 2-2. That can’t be sustained.

Well that is the thing. The defense vs offense finger pointing could emerge. It is a bit different than what I think we are looking at with this now. Now there are guys from both unit’s commenting on basically a lack of discipline I guess I would call it.

Oh okay. I didn’t realize he had a thing. Just saw that one video at random. I might go look and see who else sucks lol.

I don’t think Payton could fix Bryce’s problems. But maybe if he would have been here he would have fixed the Bryce problem.

It tracks to me. The adage about not judging a draft pick before three year is one thing. The thought that the first year should get thrown out because of Reich and the OL and no weapons that was so popular. Thinking you have to give the QB whisperer more than a season to see results seems reasonable. We are coming up on that deadline now and the switch could flip the same as it did for many of Bryce’s supporters.

There is a photo of Brees Bryce and I think Stroud. He is clearly taller than Bryce maybe 2-3 inches.

They were 5-4 after years now of never being above .500. I don’t think that is a lose the locker room situation. He allowed them to become overconfident and didn’t slap them back into focus.

Lol. So…. 150 and a TD if we won, would do it. Stans be blooming like daffodils in the spring.

Yeah I guess that was a useless observation
