It ain’t hard, you don’t need a mountain of convoluted stats to explain what you are looking at.

He was bad Sunday but I think you may be recency biasing here, he was horrid week 1 2024 and only a smidgeon less horrible the next week. But still really bad. Hopeless looking. That one was maybe close to Sunday but our defense kept us in the game longer (the other day). He sucks against the Saints apparently, and plays good against Atlanta lol. Watch him go out there and win the game Sunday. But if we see a repeat of Sunday again this week, geez who knows what will be done. If anything.

I think they are committed to giving him the rest of the games to prove he is worth then 5th year option. Fair plan. He can prove it in the negative with a couple more games like Sunday, and they may be free to try something or someone else.

I figured one of two things when White was released. He is moving to the practice squad (or maybe Hooker but why cut him?). Or they had eyes on another QB for the practice squad or maybe even a roster spot. If they bring White back the mystery add probably didn’t materialize.

Yeah. I am thinking someone’s backup. That isn’t a retread (like Dalton), preferably. Someone who has some tools and experience but hasn’t gotten a shot. If there is one of them around. You don’t have to wait three years to judge him, Canales can get his shot at coaching a guy he picked, maybe draft a flier too if there is someone we like. And the price wouldn’t be prohibitive. Or if it is don’t do it.

He doesn’t have to have the fundamentals down to teach them. Old saying, those that can’t do, teach. I’d see college OC in his future if he stayed with football but he can easily buy himself a few fast food franchises, car washes, stuff like that to stay busy with.

Yeah it is along the lines of ‘fraud vitiates everything’, it just prevents an honest assessment. You got guys with some acknowledged issues, really swimming upstream due to the quality of the QB. I think back to game two this year when he got a lot of targets and was unable to do anything. When you look back nothing, or maybe one, was in a decent place for him to get. I think it was week two. And ‘a lot’ maybe be overstating but there were a few.

That jives with my theory of why we don’t have a younger backup that can push him, though not so much because the players see it but because the fans would make a fuss. Imagine right now if there were one of those on the roster….

I wasn’t sure how you meant that. I see the obvious slap. But I also thought that it could be meant to be representative of how Bryce sees himself, he is Cam in his mind as he winds up to throw. edit: like the meme of the little chihuahua picturing himself as a Doberman.

I know after yesterday… but I have a feeling we beat the Saints at their place. Somehow. Maybe even beat SF. They are hurting. But it is hard to look at this QB and feel any confidence, so maybe we lose out.

And I bet he would make him better.

Pretty epic. Someone gave me a pie back about a third of the way through this morning and I didn’t realize even what thread it was for a couple of pages; ended up reading most of it again for the hell of it.

That doesn’t sound insane, they severely neglected the defense the better part of three years. I think you have to go back to Horn to find an investment over the 3rd round until last year. It was pillaged for two solid years and I am not complaining about Tet but we could have traded down and invested in that defense this last draft but it went to offense.

Thanks yeah they explained the punt block ruling pretty well on radio, except I missed the part that you filled in about the who and where of the block and touching.

Why can’t you get it through your head that Bryce does not possess the ability or attributes of the two people you try to compare him to? I am pretty sure there are no brownie points bro. I am not playing to anyone, my views were very unpopular but have not changed since 2023 pre draft. It is what it is. Also please explain how I twisted your words.

I said top five but to me he is easily the number one most obvious fail, before being drafted. You could make cases for most of the other guys that come to mind. Not him, in my book. There was no reason to believe.

Remember the Twilight Zone episode where Wally Cox played the scientist that fell in love with his computer? Bingo. But Wally Cox was much nicer and didn’t belittle people making counter claims.

I am down for that too. Mainly because I place a super high value on continuity and want to exhaust every option before turning a staff over again. It stunts the young player development, makes guys not fit the new regime’s standard, all that stuff.

The excuses, keep on coming. None of it is related to his diminutive size and the suspect arm that requires attention to the mechanics and footwork to operate at a competitive level. I hope one day he proves all of us wrong so you can look better but right now you just look like a guy in denial.

I have seen where people say he makes great throws in practice. But then he has always looked good in shorts and with no contact. It is a different thing when he is worried about being hit. Just a little bit more challenging.

Mayfield and Darnold should be exempt from Bryce comparisons. They have the tools and physical measurables that he lacks. It is apples to oranges. Bryce has no comps really, if he is to succeed he will be the first of his line to do it. The closest comp I have been able to find is Flutie who was practically identical in height and weight, but with a much stronger arm and I am pretty sure more mobility also, but different era. The arm advantage can’t really be argued, so the comp breaks down. I don’t know how saying that is hate. It is just reality. Not that you specifically said it was hate but the general theme is if you don’t believe in his abilities and say so, it is hate. I will tell you, I have hated 90% of the last three seasons with him at QB but if he did well, and could sustain that, I don’t think I would snipe at him.

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.
