So we need 2 WR's, 1 TE, 1 RB and 9 new defenders. 

IMO, when it looks like you need an entirely new defense, it just might mean the guy running the defense needs to change instead.

That 50+ stat is pretty irrelevant when you consider how close those attempts hug the 50 yard end. You’re comparing him against others with 60+ attempts in there. Eddie has a weak leg compared to his peers and to say otherwise is foolish. 

Honestly, I'd rather have a guy who is basically automatic out to 50 and streaky when you get in that 55+ range, which is what made Eddie so good. It seems like this injury has really hurt that part of his game tho.

Don’t really care about the score. Bryce has been pretty solid today. Some real good throws today 

Agreed. Curious to see how bucs make adjustments second half. They clearly didn't care about getting beat deep first half and it hurt them.

I mean, I hate to burst your bubble but he is 11 for 14 in his NFL career from 50+.

That would be in the top few percentile of the NFL for active kickers from that range.

Focusing on the kicker in a game like this is pretty wild.

“in a game like this” id call that pretty audacious coming from someone who was making determinations about the QB after his first career game

Just got back from a great workout. Looks like Bryce is playing well again.

 

Get the man Tmac and let him cook!

Stay winning, my man. I'm about to hit the gym after this game.

I think Bryce needs a Purdy type situation. If he can't be carried by his supporting cast he can probably be pretty good. If he's the one having to do the carrying not so much.

I don’t know about that.  There’s got to be a reason why one was picked 1st overall and the other was picked last.  But you could be right?  Only time will tell.

There is a lot of growth, I just hope he can develop the same chemistry with other receivers that he clearly has with AT (this isn't some big knock on Bryce for those of you looking for something to be angry about )

It's the fact Thielen is a good route runner.  He gets separation in his routes and is also where he is supposed to be when he's supposed to be there.  That's the biggest thing.  Bryce's biggest strength is his anticipation.   Receivers running bad or lazy routes makes throwing with anticipation impossible sometimes.
