Do you think we have a top 10 QB now?

If this was his first season I'd be thinking top 15 bare minimum. I still have reservations because of what's come before this 9 game stretch, but I certainly go into next season with much more optimism.

Put it this way, after the benching I was thinking about the QB prospects in the 2025 draft. Now I wouldn't take any of them over Bryce.

We won the trade

He gives a poo about that trade at this point. It's in the past, and fans still going back and forth with bears fans over something dumb like bragging rights when both teams are bad is just monumentally ignorant.

Bryce looked way better than I thought was possible today. Am I calling him a top 10 NFL QB now? C'mon... are you serious?

What I saw today showed me that he might have the potential to be that though and that's huge.

Yeah and being in the top 10 still is not an "elite" tag. It's rare that there are 10 elite QB's in the NFL at a given time.

Not to pull a Marty Hurney but it’s kind of irrelevant when you can always trade future picks. You’re trading future variable risk for the guy you want. Bryce looks the part now. Best new QBs the last two years are Bryce, Stroud, and Daniels.

Penix has been really solid in his 3 starts for a rookie.   300+ yards, 3 TDs in regulation today.  Pick was on the WR with a fluke pop up.  Every L he has taken as a rookie has been OT.  I think the Falcons got a dude.  Think you got to put him in with the young dudes

He does look good. If our defense wasn’t historically bad though we win this by two TDs.

Yup. The excuses/rationale that folks made for Bryce in recent weeks apply for Penix today - drops, missed kicks, and defense. Game would have gone the other way with any of those elements absent.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
