That may end up being his ceiling. Still unsettled for me...

And I'm fine with cutting him tomorrow.

Did you see how quickly and easily I addressed I didn’t mean he literally couldn’t throw the ball? it’s hard to imagine anyone arguing he literally couldn’t do it and being serious. I haven’t seen it. He claims it exists somewhere

This is wrecking havoc

Bridgewater does seem like a good upper end Bryce comp. But....ultimately that IS a career backup player. Not sure if that would have been different had that terrible injury not happened but we dealt with some similar issues while Teddy was here that we are dealing with in Bryce.

Not difficult at all. Newton was eccentric too, but he was a lot better quarterback than Williams.

My Pops passed a little over two years ago and the other day as they were playing an interview with Cat the played an excerpt of Cats in the Cradle and man it hit hard... The son putting off the dad, too busy... Its not like it caused me to spiral or anything but damn...

Learning how much you don't know is a good step. It's kind of similar with coaches, personnel people, executives, etc. We all want the guy who ran a successful team to be part of our organization. He was a winner there, so it's guaranteed he'll also be a winner here... Right? Then we get him, and he stinks. What the heck? That can't be right Bottom Line: a professional football organization is a machine that has about a kajilloon moving parts, and for all of them to work together successfully and harmoniously can sometimes be borderline miraculous. It's real people, the same kind that work at your job. And people complicate everything.

It's not difficult to see how Caleb's eccentric personality could rub teammates the wrong way.

Its not hard to see why Wunderhill remembered it that way is it? Also, thats not how you use the word flex

Here is another: You are being intentionally obtuse with this 20 yard BS and don’t like being called on it. PS it wasn’t intended as a burn, it was more of an assessment of reality. And what do you know, here we are talking.

Im shocked how unproductive he has been. That one great td play seems to have hidden the fact he has like 50 yds this season. That is not acceptable.

We have a language barrier here. CRA saying he can’t play beyond 20 yards is NOT saying he can’t throw the ball 20 yards. That ain’t the flex you think it is.

I was not a fan of Cole Spencer, but team brass seemed to believe in him. Hell, they promoted him. And then this year, they parted ways with him Brandt Tilis? Unknown. Regardless, I've been hoping for us to bring in a true leader in that department. Hope it happens soon.

It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that. On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting). The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering. While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive. Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however. The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?

Someone to whom a lot of us owe an apology. He was right about Matt Rhule. PS: Love the "Clausen to Newton" scale

nah, but someone in that building is floating it to see the reaction. Like I said, this similar content will eventually get to a writer from the Observer.

Okay, not that last one I meant the last two paragraphs of actual analysis but I should have been more clear about that.

Games are really won in the trenches. I say that Dan Morgan needs to draft a least one O-lineman or one D-lineman in every single draft. You can't have too many good lineman.

And we have no idea if that is what they actually think at all.

Nothing against the OP because there's some nice intent and perspective to the post (I suppose)

So you are saying we need Andy Reid?
