  1. I've seen Bryce stat pad enough against prevent D in decided games to be afraid of any double digit line. The Rams aren't gonna be trying to protect that line, just protect the W.
  2. Welcome to the internet. It's always been like that. What has changed in the Bryce era is that suddenly encountering different ideas has been widely interpreted as "hostility". There were the Cam stans who did it too, don't get me wrong. But it was a small handful. Before the Discord departure there were quite a few posters who anytime they saw anything less than glowing about Bryce acted like you were trashing their own child. Not even trying to be snide here but I honestly think Bryce's atypical small stature and meek personality triggers some type of reflexive parental instinct or something. Hell if I know, I just know that it's weird.
  3. A lot of guys lose quickness and flexibility when they try to add muscle. You gotta work with what you've got. I have a hard time believing that several years at Bama and several more years in the NFL that multiple trainers haven't done their best to try to maximize Bryce's physical potential and these guys have a lot of experience doing that in the world of football. This is what I mean when I talk about his very limited ceiling. What you're seeing is the end result of everyone doing their best to maximize Bryce's physical tools.
  4. I mean, he's just a slight built dude with a small frame. Not sure he's capable of functionally carrying the type of strength it would require to make a noticeable difference.
  5. What part of his game would that help? I doubt many QBs are lifting heavy in the weight room. There's a reason why Jalen Hurts' squat numbers are mentioned a dozen times a game every game. It's a complete anomaly among QBs. He's not gonna lift his way into being over 6 foot tall or having a better arm. How many MLB pitchers are rocked up like a body builder? Throwing arm strength is largely just genetics. You have it or you don't.
  6. If he got his credentials pulled he'd probably be out of a job so on essence that basically is his job. I mean, Joe Person probably has an 85 IQ on a good day but at least the guy will attempt to ask a tough question every now and then and doesn't completely carry water for the organization.
  7. I legitimately like Bryce the person. He'd be awesome to root for if he was delivering. He's just not and I don't think he has the physical capability if delivering on a regular basis. That sucks but it just is what it is.
  8. I've never seen a player get a leash this long before. Bryce is the perfect awful combination of massive investment, limited ceiling, awful play, and being a genuinely good guy and teammate to create an absolute QB quagmire. We absolutely have to move on after this season. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
  9. Not really. We signed Dalton to a two year extension this past off-season. He's under contract for next year. The really good news? There's a dummy third year tacked onto the deal so Dalton will still be hitting us for $1.8M against the cap in 2028.
  10. He's not delusional. He's just doing his job. A lot of people embarrassed themselves churning out company line bullshit in exchange for a paycheck.
  11. Sucks to see but he built his rep legitimately then cashed his check to use his rep to create steady reliable income to churn out team friendly propaganda. I hope he's happy with the deal he took but no knowledgeable football fan takes hin seriously anymore.
  12. Yeah, it was a terrible game. The Niners did everything they could do to try to lose that game and we said "I'll see that and raise you all in" with our own efforts to lose.
  13. You're not wrong. I mean, would it be shocking at all to see the Panthers finally give up on Bryce and then trading real assets for say Mac Jones and signing him long-term? That feels like a very Tepper's Panthers type move.
  14. I like the way the Giants handled this past off-season at the QB position. First they signed Jameis. Then they added Russell Wilson when the opportunity arose. Then they still drafted Dart in the late 1st. They gave themselves three legit chances at QB and fortunately for them the young one on a rookie contract is the cream that rose to the top. That's the type of approach we need to take this off-season. Put a lot hooks in the water without sacrificing a ton of assets and see what we can land.
  15. This. fug competition. Let Bryce walk, sign a legit vet maybe even two then keep options open in the draft.
  16. The problem is that Bryce would have to improve immensely to be considered overall mediocre. He's had a handful of good games, quite a few mediocre games, and a poo ton of bad games. The net average is definitely bad.
  17. And despite knowing pur D was historically terrible and that we had to be able to put up numbers to compete, our offense was 29th in yards (30th in passing yards).
  18. This. I'd rather have sidewalk cleanup duty in San Francisco on Wednesday morning after road kill Taco Tuesday at the shelter kitchen courtesy of Chef Legette than to have had to sit through that.
  19. This is where I'm at. We have to accept at this point that any front office and head coaching candidates with other equivalent options aren't gonna sign up to work for David Tepper. Our shopping list starts where everyone else's ends. So I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to fire Canales. Hell, he's Tepper's best coaching hire to date.
  20. Yep. Leave it to the Panthers to trade up to #1 overall to take a budt and then earn the #1 overall pick the very next year when they could've had their pick of Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye.
  21. You can throw three picks in a half and still not be the worst QB on the field as long as Bryce Young is playing for the other team.
  22. I miss being hated. When no one hates you it's because you suck.
