Mahomes might have just thrown the game away.

Under Tepper we seem to routinely draft for RAS. It's been more about athletic profile than it has been about football skill set. Which makes the Bryce pick all the more baffling. It was a stark departure from the RAS mindset. Anthony Richardson would've been the RAS pick.

I don't know if Jordan Love is gonna work out in GB or not, but he sure has looked the part tonight. I'm just tired of watching other QBs make throws that I know that Bryce could never make. He just lacks the physical ability to do it.

It's like coaching. If you do it and it works you're praised for innovation. If you do it and it doesn't you're trash. It usually doesn't work for Bryce.

More and more now you're hearing announcers admit that there was a play to be made and that Bryce was either too short to see it or too short to make it. When we drafted him all the talk was at how good Bryce was at navigating on traffic and finding throwing lanes. Like his super processing abilities, it just hasn't planned it in the NFL.

We need somebody to come out of the woodwork with some juicy claims about Tepper that would make the NFL force him to sell. We might be down to that type of hail Mary to save this franchise.

What is your take? My take is that Bryce looks like all of the physical concerns were legit and all of the mental savant claims aren't panning out. I haven't seen him make very many plays all year that I wouldn't expect pretty much any roster caliber NFL QB to be able to make.

Damn, two back to back circus catches on desperation balls from the Packers receivers. Jordan Love is something like 18/21 for 200ish yards and 3 TDs tonight.

Sure you are. No one is censoring you. I mean, the whole year the Bryce apologists have been throwing literally anything and anyone else under the bus to run cover for him. The rest of us have just been saying yeah, we suck and Bryce is a big part of that.

This KC safety must have really done a number on himself. "We're not gonna show you the replay." Brian Cook out of Cincinnati. I remember liking him in the draft.

And the cope brigade holdout reward goes to this guy

Somewhere, Frank Reich was like Before having a nice swim in Tepper's money

The negative is that he's plenty willing to double down on a new, even worse mistake than the one he parted with. I shudder to think what that would be.

I definitely don't miss Darnold but I'd take Darnold plus DJ and all the draft capital we gave up for Young over this mess. At least we'd be kicking our chops looking at potential '24 QBs.

Well, here it is. We've gotten to the racism accusation for criticism of Bryce now. Rock bottom.

"He's a great processor. Really close physically to Newton. But a much better processor. His S2 and Wonderlic were elite. He really worked that XBox controller. Processed really well. Just like Drew Brees at Purdue he really spreads the ball around like a point guard. He has a real point guard mentality. Did I mention processor and point guard? Processor and point guard."

He's had a few "nice" plays. He honestly hasn't had a single play that made me sit up and say "WOW!". That's what you want to see out of a #1 overall pick. You want to see some wow moments. There haven't been any. I mean, let's be honest. Has he made a single play that someone like Gardner Minshew isn't physically capable of making?

Bryce is bad. I honestly didn't blame much on him earlier on the year. You can't help your height or your arm strength. But here recently it just seems like he could care less. He's just going through the motions and cashing his checks. Seems to me like no one has held him accountable for his shortcomings and he's bought into the excuses. He's fine, it's everything else that's broken. No sir. I've been saying if since pre-season. Bryce is a BIG part of our offensive struggles.

It really pisses me off when the Panthers miss on things that seemed blatantly obvious to me at the time.

Chris Leak is a GREAT analogy. Both small QBs with mediocre arms. Both were #1 QBs coming out of HS. Both had good college careers. One was a mid-round pick because everyone saw he had marginal NFL talent. The other was a trade it all to go to #1 overall pick because he's a super processor. What a fuging FAIL.

I would. Hell, at least Jameis would let it rip. It'd be something to watch. Beats this boring poo.

I said it during the game thread. You know it's bad when Matt Rhule's wife's personal pick is probably your best offensive player.

Jesus. His number one defender is even seeing it now. Not taking a shot at you with that. You hung in there like a champ and I gotta respect that but it shows you're not delusional.

This post is getting reported and honestly, I just don't care. If David didn't make her a part of the organization with the Panthers website proudly boasting of her involvement I'd consider her off limits. But that's not the case. If you don't want that smoke, step out of the fire. Please god Teppers, step out of the fire.
