I think it's just people falling into 2 different discussions. A-some largely are fixated on what Bryce WAS vs what he IS now. B-some people really only care about what he is vs the field. So what might be noteworthy for an A discussion, but just doesn't matter to people that largely care about B. That's me. I mean, again, Bryce is clearly improved. But I can't think of a single QB where the argument they are good comes down to using the last two weeks of play Bryce has done as the justification of the statement. Not when folks are just talking about being a starting QB in the NFL and the convo not being more so about what he was. I mean, Spencer Rattler vs Josh Allen. A good day for Spencer might be highlighted that he was just not bad and didn't hurt his team. The Saints managed to win and he made about 2 solid throws in reality on the day with no negatives. But that game would not be available for Josh Allen in a convo of if he is good, it would work against him more than anything.

I'd like to see him travel before I paid him. He takes way too many snaps on meh WRs. In all honesty, the only game I can really recall him really on top notch WR most of a game (that also had good QB play)....Horn was really not that good. Mahomes/Hopkins had him looking bad.

the odds of hitting on a productive RB in rounds 4-5 is higher than a DE. Because the position is devalued. So the RBs are just flat out better at their position vs others. and again, Philly, Ravens, SF, Bills, etc. all just did exactly that in the last draft. Banking on 1 RB staying healthy is poor roster management. and again, we aren't a QB production heavy team nor do we project as such. Which means we need RBS, plural going forward. And that means multiple ones that can every week. You can't just have Hubbard on the field literally all game. Even Barkley and the top of the top isn't doing that.

Yes. We need more than Hubbard. Who isn’t a top 5 RB. And go check the last draft, teams with great RBs….drafted RBs in rounds 4-5. You complete and build backfields in the draft where it is cheap and you can find talent. and our PG QB that loves to play small could 100% use a recieving RB to compliment Hubbard and be there for when he eventually gets hurt

Brooks doesn't exist at this point in terms of 2025. Really, he doesn't even count at all given the injuries. He is not in the random dude that might one day recover and be ok. That's barely playing football for a very long time at that point. We need more than Hubbard.

4-5th round last year. Irving, Estimine, Guerendo, Tracey. They have shown they can play. Most of the others are sitting behind studs or mutliple studs so depth chart has given the need to see them. Eagles, Phins, Bills, Lions, Jags also drafted backs. I'd rather draft a RB in that area than some other position with much less odds

I think about the 4th-5th round is a great place to consistently add RBs. We need a 3rd down style rec RB.

Horn is hard to judge still given he doesn't travel. So in reality, we have never seen him erase anyone.

I mean, the last 2 weeks he isn't even averaging 60% or 200 yards. So yeah, it doesn't need to be negative. But bragging about this window of 2 games as great is just not something I'm on. The cherry picking with Bryce is being done for a reason. Because the actual review of him isn't really good. He has made great strides this year but the bar was practically buried...and that aspect is distorting where he presently is. I mean, I can cherry pick PJ Walker games with a scalpel. You want great throws? You want some good play? I mean, I used to do it for fun out of boredom with this team because it was silly.

I’m not saying it should be negative. I’m saying it’s not brag worthy. If Hubbard rushes for 160 and you pass for 150….that’s not a toot the horn of the QB type day. And if you are using that day, it’d because there isn’t much to brag about.

Yeah, but when Hubbard has more rushing yards than the team has passing yards….claiming Bryce had a good QB rating is misleading. Take any NFL fan and the noteworthy play in that Card game was Hubbard and Connor. If it comes down to cherry picking that for Bryce….I think that actually a bad thing. It means there is barely anything to make an argument with

Ok gotcha. But that’s much of a brag given what he is on the season….and the last 2 weeks he has averaged 170 yards. It basically says when Bryce doesn’t do much he isn’t as bad

Oregon and OSU have a history of lopsided CFP games. One of the two was involved in the 2nd, 5th, 7th and 10th worst blowouts of the CFP era.

OSU/Oregon on pace to make a run at the #1 spot for biggest blowout. No way did I think that would only stand 1 year https://www.fanduel.com/research/theduel/7-biggest-blowouts-in-college-football-playoff-history-01dx9jfh09fk/

College has a mercy rule if both agree

One thing I do hate for some teams….I mean Oregon basically hasn’t played in a month. Always felt in the 4 team format that time off often cut hard one way or the other. Helps some teams if they are hurt but also sometimes gets you out of the groove. I mean the gap is this and we saw that early this year

time to go to 10 minute quarters

They taken the online bro schtick and forced it on the every day man. I wish they would get rid of both ends of the spectrum. No Pat and watching Corso is like the final years is Dick Clark on NYE. Painful

What cherry picked window make him top 10? I know he get the 33rd best on the season

The SEC ever since the CFP was announced and Kirk Herbstreit/ESPN proceeded to launch into a massive SEC reach around ….has done nothing but show it’s all hot air and they are collectively overrated. Like so many other seasons. Tenn was embarrassed more than any team to date that made the playoff Texas (the defensive king of the SEC) has had their D embarrassed in 2 straight games to teams from nobody conferences that are only in because the CFP was forced to allow in because of conference titles. SC, Bama who “should” of been lose in random bowls. One the starting QB was trash in and the other the coach was largely out coached/flustered in. I mean this is why other conferences have to protect themselves and demand the auto conference champs in….because the big money conference with the help of media paints a fake reality often in college football. SEC isn’t dominant. Parity era is here

ASU if they get a chance needs to not make the mistake GT made vs UGA. If you get a chance to walk off by going for 2 in OT….take it. The OT battle is one that greatly favors the better built team in the trenches

That’s letting the moment influence the call IMO. I don’t like how they do targeting in college football but the rules are rules and they have shown that for years

I mean, that’s targeting. No way you can’t call it there. It is what it is.

SEC defenses are often SEC creations. 2 straight 400+ yard games allowed in the playoffs by the best D in the SEC the playoffs have often exposed that for years at this point

Klubnik and Skattebo now have as many passing TDs on Texas’s D in the CFP as they allowed all season long
