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

If you're saying he's a modern day John Fox then I  hope he finds his Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith. If he doesn't he's not going to see the end of his contract. 

I mean to an extent that’s more the tree Canales comes from.  Run the ball.  Chunk throws.  

Which is why I was ok with XL.  He fit that brand.   Bryce really fits something more modern and creative.   So he is going to have to adapt if Bryce is back in play. It’s why I wish he would just turn it over to another OC next year.

What routes are they throwing Bryce isn’t rn? Develop leggette who’s already getting 8 targets a game he can’t do anything with? Or the UDFA possession receiver who runs a 4.6?

Bryce just threw a seam shot touchdown on the edge of the red zone then threw a 45 yard dime of a deep ball for a touchdown. And you’re still acting like he’s Teddy two gloves

If you think Bryce has the ability to fire the line drive rope throws that someone like Jameis or Wentz can throw, then I have some Arizona beachfront property to sell you.

Bryce has to have a perfectly clean pocket to step into and make a perfect throw to get the ball 50 yards down the field, at least 20 other starting QB's in this league can make that throw off base and with just the flick of a wrist.

If people want to believe Bryce can still be a good QB in this league, that's their prerogative, I'd disagree, but people can still think it.  However, even those people have to understand and admit that he just doesn't have even an average starting QB arm for the NFL.  Short of him starting to take steroids and bulk up like crazy, he'll always have one of the weakest arms of all starting QB's in the league, and that's not debatable.

I'm not 100% sure what that means, but a couple of YAC receivers is greatly needed - for whoever ends up being the QB. 

Sorry just saying I don’t see a clear replacement for us to get this off season and BY at the least has done enough to still have a intriguing future… I agree we need to add “a serious “ WR 1 option and maybe another TE.. To get a clear picture..

The sad part of it is , now that Baker and Darnold has had good seasons,  Tepper is gonna want the coaching staff to stick with Bryce longer than they need to.

I don't even think it needs to be a WR1 or X type. Just a guy or two that can consistently catch the ball, and make people miss and gain yards after the catch. That or get a guy in FA like Higgins or Wilson.

It really looks like JT gets open regularly, but Bryce tends to force to Thielen on those plays instead now. It feels like JT got alot more looks from Bryce before Thielen came back.

I think Tepper wants to sit on Bryce,  but I think Canales won't let Bryce be the reason he's fired... I think it's going to get interesting..

I disagree a little bit.. JMO I think we should pay (fa) for a number 1 or Adjacent number 1 which will give the rookies a better chance to develop and make Thelien a number 2 or 3 option..  
Higgins

Diggs

Godwin

maybe 

Hollywood Brown

Will atleast give every other WR on the roster a chance of developing against lesser talent facing them on defense.. Also gives BY a chance to play with somewhat league level talent supporting cast..

No good WR wants Scrappy Doo Bryce young throwing to them... we'll have to over pay for a mediocre one....

If Thielen can produce with Bryce, then I'm sure a legitimate #1 WR can as well.
