Give Frank Canales’ OL and Frank wins 5 or so games. Oh, and if Tepper allowed Frank to bench Bryce like Dave was? Might of won 7ish last year with Dalton and that OL But Frank sucks. But the above is just what he basically proved he was in the NFL. People so high of this one random win they are in excusing Dave Tepper level highness

Tanking is real as far as front offices will make strategic decisions that they hope will yield good draft position in the end. That can be real but the coaches and players (whoever they are), then try to win.

They would have finished the year on a 7 game losing streak if the Bills hadn’t rested starters. Think the decision likely was made before the ball ever kicked off today.

I mean you never want to be the guy that follows a legend. It was his destiny

Bryce finished the year basically being good then bad then good then bad each week. Stafford was injured year 2. Stafford was a monster year 3. 5k passer with 40 TDs. Allen and Hurts were post season year 2 accounting for more offense per game. Not sure what the argument he was better than them is rooted in. Brees year 2 was basically a different league/rules so that comp gets a little weird.

We won 5 games. We have a roster with very limited talent. 6 years in the books and that’s where we find ourselves. We are the worst team in all of pro sports under him. a meaningless win vs Atlanta to close out a season ain’t going to make me dismiss what he has done to us

Penix has been really solid in his 3 starts for a rookie. 300+ yards, 3 TDs in regulation today. Pick was on the WR with a fluke pop up. Every L he has taken as a rookie has been OT. I think the Falcons got a dude. Think you got to put him in with the young dudes

I mean no, as of right now….we were still incredibly dumb to trade up to get him. Just like every team that has done something similar in recent history.

Nice game by Bryce. Very efficient day. *best post 2015 Cam was still Cam though.

People are wanting to judge Bryce by 33% of his starts and it’s below average. Now let’s just do 57% of PJ Walker’s starts.

People have been posting stuff like top 5 (insert cherry pick numbers/timelines) and all sorts of weird stuff. That’s generally when folks start commenting Bryce about being meh. Or implying he is playing great football for a QB and not just for Bryce. I don’t judge him by wins. I judge him by O. And much like the initial reason the OP was made to inflate Bryce….people trash our O roster to help spin things for Bryce.

It’s just deceptive to list total TDs and then list an inaccurate INT #. You would need to list total TDs and total turnovers. Initial breakdown also made sure to not include basic QB stats like comp % because Bryce is well below league average. even a cherry picked Bryce is below average. Which is fine if you view this as his rookie season. Problem is some argue silly stuff like Bryce is playing like a top QB

When you accurately project Bryce as a cherry picked QB only counting Denver forward….its still bottom half of the league.

Teddy had Mike Davis in reality. Not CMC

I challenge someone to double check that math. They math ain’t mathing exactly plus they did some deceptive things with his they paint It edit - Nevermind, I’m late and people caught it all

We could expand to 64. That way all SEC and BIG10 teams get in. All the teams that don’t make the first playoff end their programs forever. Next year field shrinks to 62, and shrinks by 2 every following year. Don’t make it, cancel your program from existence. Eventually we are left with 1 team. The true national champion of college football.

Yep. Auto byes wreck the logic. 12 - Clemson 11 - ASU 10 - Boise State 9 - Indiana 8 - Tenn 7 - OSU 6- ND 5 - PSU those are the teams that should of played first round. I mean all you have to do in theory was have ASU have a worse record while winning their conference (everything else being the same) and suddenly they would have been forced to give #12 Clemson a first round bye. Makes no sense. Imagine that playing out. Conference titles should count in terms of wins and losses that impact ranking of the 12 but the byes just don’t make sense

Well, we just paid big money to Hubbard. So that checks that box. That’s the big investment in the backfield equation. The talk is how to round out the backfield now. so look at all the teams you named…and just look at the last draft… Just the 2024 Draft Packers -3rd round RB Eagles - 4th round RB Bills - 4th round RB Detriot - 4th round RB Ravens - 5th round RB Denver - 5th round RB my position is you overall should just draft RBs. Steadily. Yes. And when you are paying a RB top 10 money (which we are)….100% build the rest of the backfield in drafts. I don’t believe in putting big money in RBs. Look at the last 2 decades of the NFL. Who has the rings? QBs. Not RBs. How many rings does mediocre KC have? How many did Brady have? That’s the last 2 decades of the NFL. I think the best investment is the pass game and defending it.

drafting a RB in round 5 affords you more cap to go get legit help for the D. The Gus Edwards, Zack Moss tier of RBs this past offseason is 10x the guaranteed money of a 5th round draft pick.

CJ Stroud will have back to back division titles, back to back playoff appearances, will have finished his first 2 seasons 8th and 11th in passing yards. TD is a Panther employee now.

I mean, there just isn't a comparable that exists for Bryce Young. It's the NFL. Best I could manage.

That might just be semantics though and us saying close to the same thing. Cam Newton got the most out of Philly Brown. I don't think most lesser QBs get that out of Philly. A lot of getting the most out of Philly was the stress Cam uniquely put on a defense. I don't consider Young dangerous when the play breaks down. I think he is just underrated or surprising when it does given everything you see. Brock is a bit like that too in reality. but I don't disagree with your 2015 Cam take. That's why I put it on Fitterer....because that is what he sold in a different package/language. Cam allowed you skimp on the OL, WR, etc. He sold the same thing for Bryce.

Hubbard, Sanders and a Mafah type would all be too similar IMO. All ideally early down rushers. Yes, I know they all can catch. But that's not any of their games.
