The problem is we're coming up on decision time and rapidly running out of runway to spend tons of money elsewhere. If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB and have to manage putting together a roster with him eating a ton of cap space we're cooked. That's my concern.
I just don't think he's a natural receiver and never will be. His utter lack of sideline awareness is just something I've never seen at this level of football. That's something that should be ingrained in you and just instinctual after a few years of playing the game and there's a whole lowlight reel of XL seemingly being oblivious to where the sideline is. That's crazy at the NFL level. It's past time for Coker to leapfrog him on the depth chart. He's honestly not gonna be long for the league. Seems like a good dude and I was rooting for his country ass even though I didn't want to draft him but he's not an NFL caliber player.
XL had the worst sideline awareness I've ever seen past the HS level.
The only balls he should see are on gadget plays like that last one. Try to get hin the ball in space for YAC opportunities but having this guy trying to do real WR stuff just ain't it.
Throwing deep on running downs has been working for us in recent weeks but because of that teams are now ready for it. Gonna have to scheme up another way to threaten deep now. Good luck with that.
