Mr. Scot

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?

Not getting to watch as much today but I'll try and sneak some in...

Nope. It was an illustration of team thinking Could have used any established starter in the league from Daniel Jones to Josh Allen and the point would have been the same. I used Mayfield primarily because he's a familiar face / name to us.

Mind you, there's always Pete Carroll assuming his Raiders stint is one and done (general consensus points that way) but any part Carroll plays at his age would probably look more like what Capers is doing than a direct DC job. (my opinion, at least)

What KFD said... I believe Tepper is mostly staying out of football management (KFD and others disagree) and I hope it stays that way. But he did do some meddling within a recent enough window that there may still be some effects. Evero is part of that discussion.

Not sure how I'll recover from such a strong rebuttal, but I'll try
