Outside Perspective on Bryce

I keep expecting more quickness from him. But he can't see to turn a corner and out run DEs that are in chase. 

To be fair, he absolutely dropped a safeties panties on the ground on an incredibly important 3rd down run. That was a sweet move and Bryce looked to be scooting past the defense.

Just my opinion here, but it seems to me like he’s looking downfield too long (as weird as that sounds). When it’s time to jetpack and scramble he’s so well trained to keep his head downfield that he’s getting run down too easily. The problem is your receivers have to get open if you want to do that. And our WR group absolutely sucks right now. I’m pretty sure I could assemble a flag football team to blanket those guys. Watching replay today and most of them just stand still staring at Bryce when the play breaks down. Thielen is the only guy constantly working to get open. 
 

Now the little shoulder brush sack sucked. There’s no way around that. It just can’t happen. Bryce is going to have to be stronger than that. He also closed his eyes to throw during another sack. That can’t happen either. But ultimately I don’t think he’s Tom Brady level slow or anything; dude is just always trying to find something downfield at this point in his career.

It’s bad…we all know it’s bad but are in different stages of coping.

Denial - he will be just fine

Anger - the fug is going on 

Bargaining - if we get him weapons/better coaching he will be better.

Depression - why can’t they make things work

Acceptance - we just gonna keep on sucking 

Acceptance. That's me.

Honestly, Bryce doesn't look bad to me.  He's a rookie with flea market Wide Receivers. Every WR on our roster are receivers that should only get 2 catches per game.

 If Mingo doesn't drop that 1st down and Bryce doesn't fumble the ball for -40 yards, Panthers would have been set up to win that game. It seems momentum plays a big part in why the Panthers always end up losing games.

My dad is a lifelong Eagles fan.  He interrupted my rant last night while texting during the game, reminding me just how bad Jalen Hurts was year 1.  That season, and even most of year 2, he was calling for Hurts to be benched.  Hurts learned and developed, and is now a top 10 QB.  I’m down on Bryce right now, but probably unfairly so.

Nice post.  Thanks for paying attention to an older guy. 

BTW, That pie I gave is for your dad.

Lol.  He’s your typical Eagles fan through and through.  But a very wise, patient man (except when the Eagles play the Cowboys)

A pointless segment. They're just arguing the same stuff from pre-draft about his size.

I maintain that we did not make a mistake drafting Bryce, but we may have made a HUGE one by hiring Frank Reich.

That’s because he’s still looking to push the ball downfield even when scrambling. My god you people don’t understand what’s happening out there at all.

Okay, Skip mocking our repetitive running game was funny as hell

Bryce hasn’t done anything so bad as to scare me yet, he’s not Zach Wilson
