Atlanta's fullback....

Not really. There are plenty of plays every game in the i-formation where tolbert is a traditional blocking fullback, albeit a bad one. 

On a few plays, yeah. Overall I haven't seen him used as a sledgehammer blocker.

Granted that could be because he isn't one (even at his best).

Some versions of the Coryell offense prefer an h-back (hybrid FB-TE) type over the traditional bulldozer blocker.

We seem to favor that approach. That's why you sometimes see Greg Olsen in the backfield.

I love that you can give us excellent analysis while the rest panic

    • The last thing I want to do is read what the average fan thinks.  Most can't think past the last game they watched. Now we have people trying to say we were really pretty good last year and the whole problem was just Bryce.  The coaching staff, playcalling, play of the rest of the team was not good.  Giving up on a high draft pick after nearly killing him with 9 different starter at guard, horrible play calling and a below average run game is not a recipe for a rookie QB.  I'm not blind.  His play the first two weeks of this season was awful and 100% is not good enough to play QB in the NFL, starter or backup.  If this is who he is and there is no hope for improvement then he'll be out of the league soon enough.  Go watch the All 22 film.  There is a lot of horrible plays but there are also a lot of good one.  NFL level ability, throws and runs.  More than enough examples of good plays to say if he can play like that consistently then he can be an NFL starting QB. It's very easy to see the biggest problem now is his confidence which has caused him to regress even more and make his good traits average or worse and his bad traits look like they can't be fixed. We know he's a young kid. We know last year the panthers did a horrible job putting in a position to be successful. We know that our new head coach excels at helping and training QBs. We know we've already paid a good deal of his contract. We know he's very willing to learn and has a good attitude despite his situation. We know he has the raw ability to play at this level because he has already done it. There are a great number of reasons not to throw the kid out on his butt just yet. We are at the bottom of the league.  We don't have the pleasure of throwing any potential away. Worse case we miss out on a 4th or 5th round pick.  Best case, Canales is the real deal and he turns Bryce into the player he was in college but at the NFL level.
