Hot Take: This team will never get over the hump, until we move on from Bryce.

Allen, Jackson and Burrow have not won anything yet other than MVP trophies, like Cam. Burrow might not even make playoffs even while playing like an MVP, because football is a team sport and you need to win in every phase of the game.

the QB that Bryce resembles the most out of the ones you listed is Mahomes, whom he beat (oh wait XL dropped it). Mahomes has the SB trophies and is obviously generational - but if we can continue to build around Bryce and Bryce can keep progressing, hopefully he can follow a similar path to Mahomes.

Thielen is not the problem but the point is he’s our best receiver and would be #3 at best on good teams. 

A #3?  Number 2, yeah, on most teams.  We don't have to sale Thielen short just to try to make a point.  Poor drafting and development of young WRs along with other misfires in FA is why our WR corps is the way it is.  All that being said, I'd rather have an elite QB and an average WR corps than an average QB with an elite group of WRs.

The last few seasons we've seen unprecedented Qb play. Allen, Jackson,  MaHomes, Burrow to name few. We move up to 1# to pick a micro Teddy Bridgewater. Burrow had at least 250 yards and 3 Tds the last 8 games ,and over 400 tonight.  Y'all get giddy if Bryce throws over 100 yards.  This is unacceptable in today's NFL.  

Face the facts, we need to move on.

Define your "hump?"  No, I'm serious, because the metric of success to define "getting over the hump" will be different from person to person.  I bet some think we have because Bryce is playing better and we have already won more games than last year.

True but compared to Super Bowl caliber or even playoff caliber QBs he still if not that impressive. Hard to see us winning a Super Bowl with a QB that struggles to throw 15 TDs a season.

Mahomes also throws TDs with ease and averages 20+ a season where Bryce can barely throw 15. 
His “rookie” year he threw 50. Stop comparing Bryce to one of the best QBs in the NFL. He is Bridgewater at best. Meaning he will never be the reason we are successful and will always need the perfect team around him to have any modicum of success.

I'm definitely curious to see how Bryce looks without Chuba. He's undoubtedly looked better recently now let's see what he looks like without the offense being able to lean heavily on one of the NFL's leading rushers this season.

We already have seen what he looks like without a running game against the Cowboys. He was awful.

You think our WR corps is average? Lol

You think Bryce is an elite QB? Lol.  It was a general statement, if I were a GM building a team with limited cap resources and I could either afford an elite QB and average WRs or pay two elite WRs and a top slot guy and get a middle of the road QB, I'm taking the first proposition every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

    • If there's a prospect who looks strong on the field but has the question marks, makes sense to bring them in and see if they are indeed a nutjob or not.  Especially if they couldn't get a good sense in limited time to meet him at the combine.  Randy Mueller has talked about it before -- many GMs don't just use these top-30s to validate the guys they already love.  Although we seem to do that and kind of show our cards a lot lol.   But to the point, if they love tape, have met enough coaches/teammates and talked to them at the bowls/workouts, many teams don't need to wine and dine and get to know them.   There's certain guys who get to know regional scouts, GMs and position coaches starting mid-college season last year.    On the flipside, there's the wildcards who aren't privy to developing relationships with the pro-community while in school, have bad reps, and teams need to dig a bit further into it.  A top-30 becomes a good measuring stick for those teams think could be a stellar fit but are unsure on who the guy actually is - which matters a ton at the end of the day.  Organizational fit has so much more weight than let on and is why these drafts after the first few picks get so all over the map.
