That’s a fair point. He definitely benefited from facing softer defenses in the latter half of the season. Still, I think it’s impressive how much progress he made. Going from a UFL type backup to a competent starter, even against easier competition, is no small feat. Does bring into context why it was historical, as his prior play was that putrid, but still a good leap nonetheless. That said, the real test will be whether he can maintain consistency and solid play over a full season. If we’re going to see any meaningful return on our trade-up investment, he’ll need to prove it wasn’t just a late-season flash. We’ll find out soon enough whether it was a fluke or the beginning of something special.

Sure but Dave Tepper isn't letting the drama surrounding him enter the building lol.

Ooh I like. Incredible 2023 tape, decent 2024 season at a heavier weight (280+). Some early rumblings this year of top 10 potential. Explosive motor and very young (20). Lost weight by the draft and he seems to be better for it. Nasty spin move. Good value.

Yeah frankly I've never been fully on board with Evero's scheme. Main concern is how he's carried over a poor run defense philosophy from Denver to Carolina. A bit too easy letting opponents dice us up too. Plus never a good look when a player points out a discrepancy between how they'd like to play vs how they're forced to. I'd rather move on and see if we can do better.

And you left out the next two sentences I said after: Again the comparison is to his first few games before benching this year. Those were atrocious. Bryce is having his worst game after his second chance, but he's still improved compared to his first few games. Again, argue the semantics about how that's a very low bar (which is absolutely fair), but all I care is he's better than how he started. And for the most part, he is. I'm not expecting him to achieve what we gave up for him to be worthwhile (it never will be with how slow he's started to get into a groove), I just hope eventually he becomes someone worth investing to so we stop playing QB carousel ever since we ditched Cam.

Meh bad game. If it's a trend then worry. Thus far, recent trend has been improvement but obviously this team is having their wakeup call today. I'm content either way - get ourselves in great draft position and retool for next year. Mike Zimmer is employing quite the defensive gameplan and finding ways to not only confuse Bryce but the offense as a whole. It happens. Everyone minus Coker and Horn has been bad today. Live and learn and that's all I care about. And frankly it's not that bad of a game from Bryce. Obviously the worst game of his 2nd chance this season, but still improved and better from how he started this season. Part of it is just poor unlucky circumstance. Of course not excusing his obvious mistakes he needs to fix, but I'm still optimistic it's not a reversion to old form. Just have to learn this offseason (not sit on the couch or whatever crazy bs he did last year) and put the effort in studying and improving. This coming from someone vocally roasting Bryce prior to his good stretch.

gonna need to be more aggressive canales and stop abandoning what's working. the run's been doing well, keep at it then set up some booms rather than dinks.

yea can't force the ball there bryce. pre snap and post snap can be different. recognize who's covered and move on even if it's not part of the pre snap expectation.

yeah gonna need more pressure downfield can't revert back to dink and dunk bryce and rely on long developing drives.

spoke too soon. follow up with Fuller on CeeDee Lamb is a war crime.

will say this defensive turnaround lately has been surprising. for the lack of talent we have, the fact they're playing at this level is impressive. props where props is due, whatever evero is cooking is working. oh and thank you jaycee for being healthy and showing up.

yea in this case young looked wobbly and a slight touch got it out. should've just slid and lived to see another down.

made micah parsons miss but then gets peanut punch'd. tough luck.

oh no
