We are going to have 2 wins this year?  Yuck.   FYI, another poster and I were discussing the 2026 draft.

Missed that detail. My apologies, disregard and carry on.

If he don't get a first down on the first series of the first possession in the first game ....he gone

Bryce will be the starting QB here at least through 2025.  I don't care how bad he is this coming season, teams typically don't give up on the #1 overall pick, especially a QB, just after two seasons. 

Buckle up for the 2026 draft.

I mean, but that's because those #1 overall picks..... did something. 

Trevor - playoffs by year 2

Burrow - playoffs by year 2

Murray - OROY and Pro Bowl by year 2

Baker - Rookie record for TDs

Goff - playoffs by year 2

Winston - OROY and Pro Bowl year 1

Luck - OROY and Pro Bowl by year 1

Cam -OROY and Pro Bowl by  year 1 

Bryce has to actually live up to the field to be treated like the field.  Plenty of first round QBs in recent history have been given up on between 1 and 2 seasons.

The wins will be a factor but I believe it will be more about how he progresses. If he's pulling a Darnold and making the same mistakes over and over again the wins won't mean that much.

They say he's a smart QB. He'll have weapons this season so we'll see if he uses them.

He won't be on a leash at all. They will let him run the show for the entire season. If we end up with the #1 pick we obviously take Sanders to be our QB.

 

*Before you Colorado haters say something, Prime dropped an interview last week saying he's not following his sons to the NFL and he doesn't want to coach in the NFL. So we are just getting his son.

Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him. 

If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is. 

I think the coach who ran an archaic 90s offense that mostly consisted of 4 players running a 10 yard curl killed himself. Bryce didn’t play well but he was a rookie who had the leagues worst receiving corp and a bottom 3 offensive line. He did not kill any coach. That poo is laughable.

The same offensive line that was middle of the league in allowing Qb time in pocket? Bryce got sacked a lot a year before at Alabama i guess their line was bad too.

After watching this video it's quite obvious why the team went after Johnson (and  XL) this offseason. We can't keep working the middle of the field with dig, hook, and crossing route and expect to be any better on offense this season.

Bryce should be in the media talking about his new weapons and getting together with those new guys to build a rapport. I doubt he'll  do it .

Eh, no one needs to be saying anything publicly. Non-issue.

With the team or the fans?

The owners and front office want to remove the egg from their face they want to be vindicated so they have a certain level of emotional attachment. As do some fans for various reasons. But the roster is comprised of players of different position groups and different payscales that are directly affected by QB play no matter what they say publicly and many will not want to stick around if there is another season of statistical bottom of the league QB play with no viable solution.

Overall. He has the 2024 season to show definitive proof he is worthy of the #1 pick or we draft another QB next year.

I hope he does. I don't want to have to start over again.

That being said. There's no emotional attachment. I'm not going to rejoice if he only proves himself to be a decent game manager. I will be calling for another QB to be drafted early as I've seen enough game managers. He needs to be dynamic and he needs to establish a deep ball connection. Period. That is the basic standard for a first overall quarterback. Anything less is 2025 first round QB for me.

Not saying he needs to set up a press conference but the media picks up on these types of things. He needs to be the leader of this team and show he is committed to winning especially after last season.
