Starting calibur is not good enough. You can find that without giving up three picks for a guy who's going to miss a year. And those picks are critical given the current state of the roster. Brooks has to be elite or he is wasteful luxury pick for a franchise that can't afford it right now.

It has to be Bryce. Too much at stake and Dalton’s not that much better for development.

The bar is real low if that was great. He was mid which is progress.

embarassing tackling

brave thread

Unlike Bryce we’ve seen glimpses of the others looking like franchise QBs. I don’t buy that we’re so much worse that he would look significantly better on any of those teams. The others also have tools that defenses respect regardless of what the supporting cast does while Bryce is getting openly mocked.

I respect the energy but it is a bad look when preventing scores is literally your job. This is our top player on defense mad they didn’t go easier on him.

mid at best

The throws behind the first down mark when we need to convert are

He's entertaining. Him and Shannon can be pretty hilarious when they start cutting up. What's nice is they all seem to be having more fun now without Skip making things awkward with his racist dogwhistling. It's more like the NBA on TNT crew now which fits First Take better than treating it like serious analysis.

The biggest thing I can give them so far is getting Kemba back as coach. I think that's going to do more for team culture and Melo especially than people realize. It's like if Panthers had Luke or Cam in the locker room right now.

Same. I need a superstar performance at this point to get over the long list of negatives with Bryce. If "not bad" is his ceiling now he's basically a worse version of Teddy Bridgewater.

If he wasn’t offered at least what they gave Bridgewater they fugged up. Even if he really was toast I would have taken zombie Cam over the rotating circus we’ve had since, and frankly he had earned the benefit of doubt.

Gave up on Cam too early.

that means there’s probably a hall of fame QB in next years class the way “expert opinions” have been going

pay him

No need to rush it. It’ll be obvious when starting Dalton’s no longer doing us any favors. Even with that boneheaded pick he’s still playing at a much higher level than Bryce.

I find this stuff entertaining as long as you don’t take it too seriously. It’s barbershop talk and jokes. That said I don’t think Cam is a good fit for the same reason him and Shannon wouldn’t have worked. Cam is always The Main Character. Amusing but even when it’s just him interviewing someone he has a hard time taking a backseat to his guest. A debate format where has to play off of others and can’t always be the center of attention is not going to be easy for him.

Tepper rebuilding the bridge the organization burned with Steve Smith was a good thing

Evero staying this season going down as an all-time bag fumble

Stroud, Darnold. We’re truly the joke of the league.

2 minute drill got exposed though. Need to work on that.

Like Mingo didn’t have a critical drop at the end of the game…

Only repping your team when they're winning is lame

If they were both on rookie contracts sure
