Yes, it is because they're not. One is an absolute. One isn't. The logic here isn't very complex. Nobody cares if you leave. Do or don't. The threats as if anyone cares is just pathetic.

I don't know if you're being intentionally dense or if it just comes naturally but wow.

Go back and read. I said I'm not completely writing him off. But yeah, at this point I'd honestly be borderline shocked if he works out. You're the one who acted like a condescending douche while failing at reading comprehension. Don't get butthurt about it. Ice up son.

Did you figure that one out all by yourself? LOL

Sure he can. He might just get to the point that he has to hire a Huddler at some point. I'll take that check. LOL

All we can do is wait and see but I'll just say I anticipate we're gonna be talking about 2025 QB prospects pretty early on. We'll see. I just hope Tepper doesn't rage fire another coaching staff in the meantime.

Talented players show flashes of that talent regardless of the overall surrounding situation. What I saw from Bryce last year told me that we should probably never expect a lift from him. He'll take us as far as the team around him can carry him.

I'm not completely writing off Bryce but I'm 99% sure he just doesn't have the physical talent to succeed in the NFL.

Exactly. I'd never argue our offensive pieces were good but I don't think they were nearly as atrocious as people make them out to be to make excuses for Bryce. What I saw was basically a bad NFL offense with a bad NFL OL and bad NFL WRs with a QB at the helm that looked like he lacked the prerequisite NFL talent. The end result was one of the worst overall offenses in modern NFL history.

All the talk in the off-season was how much better we were going to be. That only changed when we sucked then suddenly the overall offense actually looked quite a bit better that one game that the mere mention of horribly triggers some people.

If you're not playing you can't be considered bad. Aaron Rodgers didn't play either. I'm just saying I watch a LOT of NFL football and I can't recall anyone not named Jimmy Clausen who looked worse and I'm not just talking stats. I'm talking about judging talent. A guy can put up ugly stats and still show flashes of the prerequisite talent. That's what was disturbing about Clausen and Bryce. They just flat out didn't look like they had NFL QB talent.

A lot of those guys barely played as rookies.

Let's hear those dozen. Go for it.

I made it to "Jimmy Clausen and then Bryce Young as basically the worst rookie QBs since 2000..."

Tyson Bagent honestly showed more promise than Bryce did in terms of raw talent. Yeah, he sucked but he showed as many flashes as Bryce did in far fewer snaps.

This is the part that hasn't sunk into Bears fans. They're celebrating their massive win already when they're still sitting there with a completely unproven rookie QB when they could've had Stroud too.

There's no Title IX debacle to eliminating programs.

And up until Burrow the Bengals

Their history at QB is In our brief, largely bad history we've had two QBs who are better than any they've ever had

Yeah, that report kinda explained why the Bears may have decided to just move on from Fields. But I think they've probably drafted an even bigger diva.

Slightly off topic but this same type of thing should happen in the business world. Make me king for a day and one of the things I do is make unpaid internships illegal. It's just free labor and it's gatekeeping bullshit. The rich kid's family can afford to keep him up while he works his internship. The poor kid's can't.

This was already the case. Athletic scholarships are year to year. If you're deemed to no longer he worth a scholarship it's just not renewed and you're out in your ass. A lot of folks don't realize that.

Ummm... they've been monetizing them for decades. Now they're just forced to actually pay the help.

Good call. He's gotta be watching Bryce with great interest realizing there's a chance he may not longer he the worst trade in Panthers history.

I just wonder how long it takes them from enshrining him in Canton to calling him Ryan Leaf if he struggles early? Is he more talented than Fields? I honestly don't think so and they couldn't make that work either.
