Say what you want about Bryce and I’m still pretty doubtful but no one can argue against the fact he’s actually improved quite drastically since year one. Rams game would’ve been a Blowout in 23

LEGACY GAME?????? edit: I doubt it but still a hell of a game for the franchise record books

Baker mayfield was a first overall pick

Rico mostly carried the offense but I’m gonna give Bryce his flowers, he had a hell of a game

Never seen this kind of clamoring for a 5th round QB with main character syndrome. You see his locker room interview where he just…pantomimes words silently? Bryce is ass, but this is poverty franchise logic

Wilks isn’t near the “‘miss” a lot on this board think he was IMO

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
