Mr. Scot

The word there is entitlement. And no, NFL teams aren't gonna want to deal with that...nor should they. Realistically, if he didn't have his dad's name behind him, nobody would be hyping this kid as the next big thing.

It also takes patience to not give up resources for a guy who's had two starts, one of those being against the worst team in the league. As mentioned, that's Matt Flynn style thinking.

He's following logic set forth by the great 17th century football coach John Milton A rookie with a losing record in college refusing to sit behind a well established NFL starter is definitely a red flag.

I wouldn't really argue with that either.

I say no chance First of all because it's not going to happen. I say it also because if Cleveland actually was willing to trade him, that would be a bit of a red flag that we were about to get fleeced. And finally, because there's no way I can get on board with trading for a guy whose sample size is barely bigger than Matt Flynn's.

No chance

At this stage of the season, that might be reasonable.

Ouch

Yeah sorry, the "everybody who doesn't see it my way has no credibility" argument is never valid. Intelligent people disagree...often.

I already did, and no I don't.

I'm citing reports from Joe Person, Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano among others. I've also said repeatedly that I'd prefer to move on at some point, but realistically that's down the road. I doubt you'll find much of anybody among the beat writers, talking heads and reputable sources who doesn't believe Bryce is getting the option. If you find one, feel free to link it

Losing to Darnold would kinda sting

Discussing it always reminds of the highlights of that crazy Saints game when Delhomme was their QB

That's a formula only slightly less complicated than nuclear fission

Where on earth have I indicated this is what I want to see? I've been talking all along about what I expect to happen. What I would want is a very different conversation. As far as what Bryce wants beyond the fifth year option, I have no predictions till I see how the next two seasons go.

Damn!

Currently following the wife around a store while streaming Bucs-Saints on my phone Saw the Saints go ahead touchdown...

Saw where Darnold is kicking the Falcons ass

Somewhat, and she goes all out, so...

I'm helping the Mrs with Christmas decorations. Don't think anybody wants updates on that. (including me)

Do you still have your own petard?

Even the best QB in the league doesn't win games by himself. Sorry dude, but you're rationalizing to see what you wanna see. The reality is that Bryce can play and win in the NFL on this Panthers team. And barring something crazy, he'll be doing it best season too. There is no scenario or argument we can come up with that's gonna stop that. It'll take something disastrous or just plain weird that we have no control over. Hell, even if you win the argument against me in this forum, that doesn't change objective reality.

I just think they see it differently. I don't call that denial so much as just run of the mill being wrong

How'd he do last week?
