XL is a downfield big play receiver All day. The question is will he get legit opportunities to do that.

Lol...where was all these takes before the draft last year. Its not like any of this is new.

I have never understood the bryce comparison to other small QBs. These guys are just superior athletes for their size and it isn't hard to see.

I have never denied he was great in college, the reality is my team i support is in the pros not college, and i just never saw his game translating well to the pros when I watched him.

I couldnt read it but fair enough. You also have to consider bama might not be the same team going forward with saban not around and players getting paid so it may continue.

Bryce made a Alabama offensive line look bad with all the sacks he took the year before last. When does that ever happen with Alabama? Nobody talks about this

But people on here are crazy for saying its a make or break year as well???

I mean...... this wasnt obvious from watching all the games??

That would have been crazy and it's hard to believe that they didn't consider it. They just liked XL that much more most likely

Some of us already knew bryces only leverage was the fact that he was a rookie and the first pick last year. Once the new crop of qbs came in he would quickly become a afterthought and all the media hype and support would disappear especially since he had a bad season. It wasn't hard to forsee. Nobody on that list has more of a uphill battle than he does and who even knows how much that's actually gonna be worth.

Everyday it becomes more painfully clearly the Panthers got bamboozled.

Agreed.

The main roster guys dealt with that all last season.

I would hope nobody ever gets injured, more specifically i dont want Bryce to get injured because that just prolongs the evaluation or just another excuse why he will be the unquestioned starter when he comes back. I want him to get an opportunity to show undeniably that he is not the guy or he is the guy so that it can be a smooth transition to move away from him when the time comes.

The guy that threw that pass is a tryout for a reason.

A Qb actually throwing a ball with a tight spiral and velocity.

Oh I agree, I'm irritated that all of sudden these media folks now want to tell the truth on bryce and Cj. I am someone thats convinced that the FO made the pick off heavy media influence. Greg Cosell just did a interview with the roar and he pretty much peeled bryce back.

A lot of these vets dont want to deal with the grind of everything a full season brings. They would rather wait and sign to a team that could really use the help.

I think he is competition for Young, the problem is THE STAFF didnt make him competition for Young. We barely saw anything from Dalton from camp threw pre season. They made Dalton the starter after the draft very briefly then all of a sudden we hear Bryce had won the job and it was very weird. The whole process last year was just off along with Tepper telling bryce all the way back to the superbowl we were gonna draft him. Bryce doesnt even visit with any other teams nor does he participate in combine and then there was the whole fiasco with the weight. It was just a lot of coasting all last year around bryce.

Not giving Bryce any competition is just really outstanding to me, for all the talk about how other players on a roster need to be pushed/jobs taken i dont see how a QB is exempt. I dont care where you are drafted. It also installs a comfortability factor in a player that's not needed. Never make a player feel like they dont need to earn anything, its not always good thing.

Crazy that rarely happened.

Such a great mentality to have.

I get screwing over other teams as win, but for me it will be a true win once the picks actually work out.
