Also hadn’t seen it but had been trying to find it to see how bad it was good lord…..

Get XL involved and the funeral becomes an episode of coffin drop

Only putting in performances worth a damn when your team is eliminated from the playoffs is the antithesis of clutch that 4th down throw away in the red zone? Antithesis of clutch i *want* to be wrong man. Truly do. If you look at my posts I’d argue I was actually one of the more gracious posters on here to Bryce in 23 and 24.

IMO the problem with Bryce is less to do with any of what you’re saying and more to do with him just not having the mental fortitude and killer mentality needed to succeed. when the bullets are live and poo actually matters, he’s only ever crumbled. would love to be wrong.

I’m not saying Canales is the answer, just that no winning “culture” includes playing for losses/draft position

We don’t disagree

Team culture means something. How’d all those premium high first round picks in the 2000 and 2010s work out for the Browns or Jags? when have you ever seen a perennial contender play for draft position instead of to win? Even in bad years? if you are the head coach of a football team and doing anything other than coaching to win, you should be in a different line of work. Regardless of record.

I get what you’re saying but the reason I think his mentality underscores it all is that he did have legitimately solid and sometimes even good games at the end of last year after his bench, and against some good teams (PHI, Tampa, KC) but that was only after the season was shot and everyone thought he was done for. then once he had to play a meaningful game on Sunday he crumbled right back to pre bench form. It’s like he’s only able to when it *doesnt* matter But all just semantics tbh, we both agree that he ain’t it lol

Players in the locker room don’t give a poo about draft position

Ironically enough what I think will ultimately do Bryce in/will be why he won’t make it in the league won’t be his size concerns, but his mental makeup. He is a historical outlier in size and due to that has smaller and stricter windows, but he *has* shown he can play, but only when it doesn’t matter. The best football we’ve seen from Bryce was that preseason Buffalo drive and then down the stretch last year after we were already eliminated Remember the look on JJs face last night after that TD pass to Jones towards the end of the game? Dude looked like a straight killer. That’s the face of a dude that’s locked the fug in, completely ignoring any and all noise. Reminded me of prime Cams infamous nod prior to orchestrating a game winning drive right after seeing the Saints take the lead. Probably hyperbolic but that shot convinced me JJ will be a dude for the Vikings. Yes they have a great staff but that kind of mentality isn’t something that’s taught. to succeed as a young QB in this league you need some level of that coldness/killer mentality in you to push through the adversity that will inevitably come when you have a bad game, throw a pick 6, or your line gets blown up. i don’t see any of that in Bryce. I want to be wrong, and hope someone can quote this post with a “wow that aged like milk!” someday, but I don’t think it’s happening. if Bryce had that mentality in him, I honestly think he could play and work through it, but I just don’t think he does

Only team below 20% lol im just tired at this point

Whered you see that? Always a fan of listening to people poo on Rhule

That move is the kinda thing that makes FAs avoid your team, and our reputation already isn’t great.

I’m not sure how anyone could expect us to net anything more than a 4th rounder for a 35 year old wide receiver honestly a little bummed bc of his importance to the team the last few years and as a vet in the WR room, but from a strictly football perspective I don’t think it’s a bad trade.

Bummed to see him cut but prioritizing “feel good” stories over strictly football is part of why we’re in this situation dude hasn’t played in years and was battling a hammy. The cut leads me to believe they’re more concerned about his hamstring/game shape than let on. we did not cut 2021 hunter renfrow.
