Now hear me out. If Brock Purdy, the very last player drafted in the 2022 NFL draft, can lead his team to a Super Bowl appearance, then it stands to reason that Bryce, who was drafted at No. 1 overall, will lead us to multiple Super Bowl wins and become one of the greatest quarterbacks in history. It's obvious that Bryce is much more talented than Purdy, otherwise we wouldn't have drafted him at no. 1, would we? Bryce has been officially certified by the S2 Cognition Test™ as a super processor, he has an elastic arm, he excels at making off-platform throws, and his calm and poise are off the charts. Bryce has been thoroughly vetted by our analytics team. We just need to trust the system Mr. Tepper has put into place. Expect us to at least make a Super Bowl appearance next year, if not winning it outright. Bryce Up Son!

But just look at what we got in return though: a well-mannered, soft-spoken, sensitive, super-processing boy wonder point guard. From the point of view of analytics, we're already a contender on paper, not to mention we have a vibrant music scene in Charlotte. Just look at Bryce, he literally looks like a goat already.

Is he gonna apply for job at S2 Cognition?

He deserves the recognition. Glad he has the opportunity with an organization that maximizes his potential.

Well yeah, a glance at his Google info card and his cowboy hat tells me such.

Oh, thanks for the tip. I had no idea there's a politician by that name.

Oh Doc Anderson was a well known physician from my neck of woods, not related to that Waco cowboy.

The coaching and the receivers might have sucked, or they might have been OK or maybe even excellent. We'd never know for sure because Tepper refused the coaches' request to bench Bryce. My view is that our suckage was mostly due to Bryce and his limitations. Stroud would have definitely taken us to the playoffs.

Is being nice lying? You've never complimented your GF or wife or a buddy on something that you knew wasn't true?

No, Stroud just flat out trolled us by defending his friend. I highly doubt his opinions are based on watching Bryce's tape. I have to disagree with you that no one on this board thinks Bryce is better. Plenty still insist that Stroud would have done no better than Bryce if he had been a Panther. They think that Bryce's suckage is purely down to situationals.

There are still plenty of diehard Bama fans on this board who are in denial. They couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Bryce is busting hard. They keep bringing up his Heisman and his college tape to prove that Bryce is deserving of that no. 1 draft spot, and that it's everybody else's fault (the line, the receivers, the coaches, the scheme, the play calling, yada, yada, yada) that Bryce has performed so badly and that he couldn't do a simple drop back or make an accurate throw on time past 15 yards. Heck, they probably insist that Bryce is really 6'0" tall because Bama machine don't lie. Bryce fans are just like The Golden Calf of Bristol fans. They're the same poo, but just curls differently.

That looks like Darth Vader's bacta tank, except it's a lot smaller and contains our tiny S2 certified super processor.

There are still plenty on this board who think Bryce was the better pick. Plenty. Stroud walked into a worse situation because the Texans had been a laughingstock and bottom dweller for years, which is why they had the no. 2 pick in the last draft (would have been the no. 1 pick had it not been for Lovie Smith dialing up that late TD). The Texans simply didn't have a winning culture, their receivers were ranked dead last by PFF, and they have a rookie coach and a rookie offensive coordinator. That is about as bad of a situation as you can ask for. We on the other hand had a veteran head coach who is known for developing quarterbacks, a much more experienced supporting staff, and more highly rated receivers per PFF. I can't think of a single source, pundit, or fan who thought Stroud was walking into a better situation in Houston. Bryce was universally considered to have landed at a better spot than Stroud. Whereas Stroud overcame and became an agent of change and elevated his team to make the playoffs, Bryce couldn't capitalize on his better situation and the superior pieces he had been surrounded with.

By the way, I didn't check, but do they hand out awards for impeccable table manners?
