It honestly blows my mind that you can watch Bryce in the NFL and be willing to die on this hill.

If he has NFL average arm talent he hasn't shown it yet. I welcome him showing it but I'm not gonna sit here and delude myself prior to that occuring.

Nah we are saying he has an average NFL qb arm. The others are saying it's above average or better. 

 

Well I'm saying it's average. Lol

Oh, now he doesn't even have "average" NFL arm talent.

Let's keep pretending that Reich isn't limiting Bryce. It fits your convenient narrative, so roll on.

No, LG has pointedly said this time that Bryce doesn't have an NFL arm. I know that he has intimated it plenty (if not said it before). He knows what he's saying.

Oh well that's silly, he's got an NFL arm it's just average to maybe slightly above average.

I think his anticipation makes his arm look better than it really is. 

He's got an A+ mind and A+ throw anticipation for sure.

I’d argue his arm is average or just a hair below. If you ranked them 1-32 for the starters his is definitely in the bottom half or maybe bottom third. It’s a lot easier to name QBs whose arm is equal or better than it is to name the ones who have a worse arm than Bryce. And again, velocity isn’t everything but you saw tonight two balls for sure that Justin got bailed out on because of the zip he can apply to a throw.

I think the other problem is two fold, maybe three fold but all on the same problem if that makes sense. 

 

1. Reich's system clearly doesn't fit him as a player, but because of Bryce's anticipation that could be ok but

2. Reich is limiting the play calling because of the above or because he doesn't trust him to run his offense. Maybe a combination of the two.  

3. The speed of the NFL has so far limited one of Bryces strong points in his game. Off schedule playmaking. 

 

So he doesn't look great but it's not his fault for most of the above.

I think his arm is similar to what Watson showed at the combine his draft year. 40ish on normal throws and 45ish when he really slings it.

I think Frank described the kind of QB he wanted and he has a history prototype QB he’s looking for and Stroud fit that perfectly and Tepper wanted Bryce. And now I think Frank is forcing Bryce to run an offense he originally designed for Stroud rather than play to Bryce’s strengths.

Velocity and arm strength aren't the same thing. I'm with Carpanfan, I think that his arm strength is a little above average, and he's probably right about Young's anticipation making his arm talent appear better than it is, but you have to look at the total package (smarts, anticipation, arm elasticity), that's what in theory is the great equalizer.

What's weird to me is that no one outside of Thielen, Hubbard, and Hurst fit his system. 

Mingo doesn't.  

Sanders doesn't

The oline doesn't 

The other wr's don't. 

It's so confusing to see them try to bang a round peg into a square hole each week. 

 

Like did they put this team together for him or for someone else to coach. 😂😂😂

Like if you told me that Reich was the teams third choice for head coach....

 

I'd believe you 100%. 

 

The moves don't match the coach.  

He likely was. I'm not gonna lie...I've stopped listening to his pressers. He's a nice guy, but I can't stand him as a coach. Fitterer is beginning to look like a dog chasing his tail too. I just can't take it.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
