One of the worst parts about the game is all the "what if" stories that got derailed by injuries.

Why did the Raiders draft a RB in the 1st round when they don't run the ball and they're taking him off the field in passing situations?

Plenty of time on the clock for another Geno pick.

The Raiders' D has just flat out quit on numerous plays tonight.

A lot of stubborn pride in the NFL. "We do what we do" and "muh system" mentality. You draft a RB in the top 10 and you've handed the ball to him three times through 28 minutes of football... as Geno throws a pick while I type. LOLOLOLO

Geno is ass outside of Seattle. He was ass before Seattle and he's ass now after Seattle. It was a good situation not improvement from Geno.

Yeah, Baker has had a big resurgence in Tampa but people shouldn't forget that he want to the playoffs with the Browns. The Browns.

There's some good looking LBs in college football this year. Wouldn't mind drafting two.

I wonder if there's an injury issue going on that's limiting but isn't enough to list on the injury report? I mean no one seeing significant playing time is truly 100% at this point in the season. Everyone is banged up to some degree.

oof

Yeah, that dude had an absolute laundry list of injuries coming into the league. I liked him in college and he has honestly shown more raw talent in the NFL than I thought he had coming into the draft but that injury history is real and even without the injury issues showing back up, he had regressed hard this year.

Every UNC fan is hoping the phone is ringing off the hook. LOL Some NFL team hiring Belichick would be the biggest get out of jail free card a college football program has ever gotten. It ain't happening though.

That would be a very Tepper's Panthers thing to do. I honestly don't expect it though. I really think they'll use the rest of this season to determine whether or not we pick up his 5th year option. I honestly don't think an extension is in the cards at this point barring an absolutely lightning in a bottle type run of Bryce playing great and us getting to at least the NFC CG and losing despite Bryce playing hero ball. So yeah, extremely unlikely.

This. If he keeps playing like this, GREAT! If he reverts to his norm, well poo. That sucks but it's expected. What people need to realize though is that virtually everyone on an NFL roster (with the possible exception of Shedeur Sanders) is capable of having a great performance if given 35+ opportunities and the stars align correctly on a particular Sunday. If you aren't capable of great play when everything goes perfectly to plan then you're not NFL caliber. Right now, the bad games are the norm and the truly great games are extremely few and far between.

I hope not. I'll probably get around to watching the game tomorrow night but based on this highlight reel I didn't learn anything new. Notice on almost every throw in this highlight there's a clean field in front of him with plenty of room to step up and nothing obscuring his vision. We already knew Bryce can play well in those scenarios. I've said over and over that given great protection, a throwing lane, and room to step up and through his throwing motion Bryce can make most of the throws. The issues arise when he starts getting pressure in his face. Bryce had a great game and deserves credit for that but in terms of evaluating the position moving forward we need to see that type of play down the stretch in scenarios that don't play to his strengths. Seems like yesterday's game played out in a way that largely allowed him to play to his strengths and the NFL is really good at putting you in situations where you're uncomfortable. https://x.com/JoshNorris/status/1990428657521774755?s=20
