Anyone left who does not believe in Bryce ?

I feel the same as my initial assessment - mid- to low-level starter over time with occasional flashes of more, a la Teddy and Alex Smith. I now believe he has way more chance of maintaining that type of performance over time than I did after the first 2/3 of his career starts, but it is going to take another 1/2 to full season of next-level play to buy into him being good enough to really be worth counting in the 'franchise QB'  territory. If he does it though then I'll be wrong and everyone involved will be the better for it. Will revisit it around Weeks 6-8 next year but won't give it a second thought until that point.

That said, my bias is that I think you have to keep swinging until you get a true upper-tier guy if you want to be perennially competitive in this league. If your QB isn't clearly in the top 5 of the league, then he's not good enough to win without the stars aligning. Teams spending that kind of money on a Tua, Trevor, Kyler, Geno, etc are just trying to maintain a status quo and hoping that the stars align and lightning strikes for a season. That speaks as much to the business of the NFL though since teams need fans and fans need hope, so it is what it is.

What has me super excited is he's going into year 2 of the same system. You could really see him taking command of the offense at the end of the year moving players where he wanted them, changing routs ect. I'm ready for him to have a Breese/Manning type of control of the offense where no matter what the defense does they're probably gonna be wrong. #KeepPounding

Im neutral. 

Guess by that meaning I don't believe.

Still a skeptic.  It's going take more than a handful of good games for me to change my mind that's he's better than average.
