If that's the case and they haven't given up on that pipe dream then just fire them.

I'd rather give Canales and company another year and let them and Morgan give it another go with another QB room next year.

Not wrong but the reality is that everyone that's tried to run an NFL offense with Bryce this has been the story. I'm not sold on Canales but I am sold on Bryce not being the answer at QB.

Bryce is statistically the worst QB in the league. The bar to clear is on the floor.

There's a lot of talk about Moore going back to school next year but with this QB class being underwhelming versus the hype he might be best off coming out this year. Like every other "next year's draft class" next year's draft class is being touted as loaded at QB so with a lot of the presumed top QB prospects not looking great this year the iron might be as hot as it's gonna get.

I just never saw it from him. I don't see what anyone was seeing when they were talking about him as an elite NFL QB prospect. I don't see any plus NFL traits, marginal size, and now this year a lot of questionable decision making on top of it.

If he's there I'm drafting him it's probably just gonna be another run of top 10 QBs. The rookie wage scale has taken the bust risk factor away so if you don't have a QB and you think there's a potential franchise QB on the board you pretty much have to draft him. Nussmeier sucks. Period. I wouldn't even look at him until we get to the "throwing darts at the board" portion if the draft.

Mendoza isn't getting put of the top 3 picks. He probably ends up going #1 overall honestly.

No thanks on Mendoza. I don't want another Bryce-like trade up deal and that's what it would take to land him.

Yep, just do the CMC thing.

We've done right by Bryce. Two offensive minded coaches. Big investments in the offensive roster at the expense of the defense. It's tike to admit the obvious and swallow the bitter pill that massive trade up to draft Bryce was a bust. It sucks but it beats continuing to pretend that Bryce is an NFL QB.

Yep. I still want to know whether we gave him the impression he'd have more say over the QB pick or if he simply thought he'd be more persuasive in his ability to sway the pick but as soon as it became obvious we were keying in on Bryce it just seemed like he checked out. I'll never be convinced that Reich was onboard with that pick and I think that's the reason why we were so quick to fire him.

I hope he's alright. I was really hoping he'd overcome that injury bug but this is not good.

High draft picks always get floated by that draft position and get more opportunities than they've earned on the field. Hell, even JaMarcus Russell got numerous tryout attempts around the league even after blowing up to offensive lineman proportions. If we let Bryce go he'll absolutely be quickly re-signed to a prove it deal elsewhere where he will suck again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
