No, it's a QB vs. QB thing. Klubnik was surrounded by a ton of talent and a proven elite coach and just didn't get it done. There's a reason why the entire Clemson fanbase is rejoicing in him running out of eligibility. If you can't get it done with all those competitive advantages it's unlikely to happen at a higher level of competitor without them.

He threw at a higher percentage his first year of starting than any QB in the league with no OL, no defense, and an OC who was just trying to audition for HC roles. Meanwhile, Cade Klubnik lost ad many games at Clemson as they'd lost the entire decade leading up to him taking a snap. THAT is cheeks.

A guy talking poo about Sam Howell lusting after Cade Klubnik? LOL I'd give Klubnik a shot as a UDFA but I wouldn't spend a pick.

I think the jobs good candidates want are gone. Browns, Cards, or Raiders? Oof. Taking a year off and waiting for better opportunities to arise seems like the right call. Either the Raiders set to take Mendoza #1 overall an offensive minded coach seems like the logical move there anyway.

Kinda head scratching unless McD was handcuffing the offense, but their top 5 offensive ranking doesn't scream that. I guess we'll see. Meanwhile...

Pavia's actually measurement was 5'9 7/8s. Bryce measured in at 5'10 1/8. They're probably the same height. Bryce's mini 'fro probably added at least 1/4".

He was pretty highly touted that year by all the draftniks. But he's one of those small school guys who you do have to pay attention to his workout numbers since he was playing against lower level competition. All his draft hype was about his great athleticism and potential, then he went to the Combine and posted very pedestrian measurable. 5.33 40 time, 29.5" vertical, 26 reps on the bench. Overall he had the 19th ranked athleticism score among DTs that year. No one would've been complaining in hindsight about drafting a DT had we drafted Chris Jones who was picked 8 spots after we drafted Butler.

Like putting 38s under a 1988 Toyota truck with stock gears and that clapped out little 22RE can just barely even roll them over.

Yeah, it's time to just get rid of this farce. When a 5th round rookie who threw for 7 TDs and 10 INTs is going to the Pro Bowl it's over. It's a complete joke.

I already said I'd be willing to sign him as a UDFA, you don't have to sell me on it.

Swimmers usually have length. Bryce is built like a diver.

Kyler has at least 25 pounds on Bryce. Kyker is built like CMC. BAryce is built like a kicker who is a converted soccer player

Let me clarify... I'd give him a shot to earn a spot after signing someone in FA and if we didn't draft one. LOL

Bryce absolutely porked up at the table and hid it under that hoody just to step on that scale over 200. I bet he ran to the bathroom to puke and piss like a race horse as soon as he stepped off that scale too. Whatever. Hate the game, not the player. He just gave the Panthers excuse to believe what they already desperately wanted to believe. I don't blame him. We should've known we were getting gamed when he refused to get back on the scale at his pro day.

Oof. I figured he was going to be a 6th or 7th rounder but 5'9" means he's going undrafted. Hell, I'd sign him as a UDFA and five him a chance to earn a spot.

I'd be fine bring Rozeboom back, just hopefully as a backup with a contract to reflect that role. Re-signing him and bringing in a player like Chenal would also create options in the draft. I never like going into the draft with desperate needs. They'd how you end up pulling a Getttleman and spam drafting all the corners.

Yeah, I didn't want to trade for Darnold and wasn't sad to see him go but at the same time, he won me over as a person during his time here. Seems like a legit good dude. Not sad to see him playing well and doing well.

Truth.

The limitations aren't the same. Sam Darnold can absolutely make every throw in the book. You just have to keep him on schedule and have to beat it into his head that if it's not there just throw it away and live to play another down. Crucial back breaking turnovers has always been his Achilles' heel. Bryce's Achilles' heel is that he simply physically cannot make a lot of plays that most other NFL QBs can. That's an entirely different limitation to try to manage.

We've still fuged up in the past going "BPA". We drafted Butler at DT and Shaq at LB when DT and LB were some of our biggest strengths of the roster. Butler was a flat out bust and Shaq was basically a JAG starter at LB. I know that triggers some folks, but sorry that's just the truth. We overdrafted him then doubled down on that and overpaid him.

We had two shots at #1. Hell, we had them on the roster at the same time. Darnold and Mayfield both.

Oh, Bryce is ass too. Don't get me wrong. A lot of people are allowing our better than expected record and the good fortune of playing in a trash division delude them. And even with all of that, we still had to rely on the Bucs shitting the bed down the stretch.

The NFL absolutely has preferred outcomes. Playoff viewership can swing pretty dramatically. But honestly, the Super Bowl is an entity of it's own. Doesn't matter who is there viewership is going to be massive. It's the biggest television event of the year and is way bigger than the game of football. It's a complete media spectacle and the football game itself has honestly almost become a background for it. The diehard football fans are tuning in for the game, but the spectacle itself is what draws the massive viewership and there's a lot of people watching that don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to football. It's why I don't understand all the uproar from football fans about halftime acts. Guys, the halftime show isn't for you. They know that. They're not catering to you with it. You're watching anyway. The halftime act is to try to maximize the non-football audience. Let them enjoy it. Halftime for you is a break to grab some beers and wings. I can honestly only remember actually tuning in for one halftime show and that was the Dre/Snoop/Eminem year.

Sure there is. Because QBs like Geno are starting. You don't solve your problem by signing a problem. Young guys with potential upside are one thing. 35 year old journeymen coming off of a terrible season while still acting like an entitled ass are the ones you absolutely need to avoid.
