I love how Bryce looking like a barely serviceable, still below average NFL QB, is making people think he has shown he can be a franchise QB.

You don't trade away multiple 1st round picks and your best offensive player for that.

I said it before we even drafted him, his max potential was like 20th best QB in the league, too good to ever let walk in free agency but never good enough to actually be elite and lead you to SB contention.

That was a year and a half ago before we even drafted him and I still don't think he can be that good, I'd drop it back now to maybe 25th best QB in the league.  He might be a serviceable game manager, but he's never going to be an average QB in this league, he just doesn't have the physical traits to be so.

He's looking halfway competent and putting up below average numbers, stop trying to pretend he's all of a sudden balling out.

He’s doing well for a 2nd year QB with bad WRs.

He’s not elite, but the potential is there.

I tend to agree unfortunately when the issue is body catching.  

Body catching is genetic?

Yeah, I was excited for him. Then thought he was the biggest bust in history.

Now, I think he has a real future if he continues to get better and can stay healthy.

None of us know how to evaluate players.

Yes, brilliant. What do you want him to do, teleport the ball into XL’s stone hands himself? Within the context of who we have played and his lack of supporting cast, he has played brilliantly. 
 

I get that you have no choice but to double down on your anti Bryce vitriol. 

Just ignore. This guy will disappear if the team starts winning.

Hard to improve catching skills 

First time I’ve ever heard that.

190 yards

5.5 per pass

1 td

1 int

30 rushing yards

 

Lets calm down a bit here

 

Burrow was 232 1 TD 1 INT against the eagles.

If they are serious about developing Bryce, he has to have weapons.

Then again, XL is just a rookie. He’ll improve.

Don't take this as bashing Cam but I appreciate that BY can hit guys in stride. 

Cam was the best QB we ever had... but his accuracy and touch let a lot to be desired. 

Cam could laser a ball in, but couldn’t thrown with anticipation. 

Bryce is the opposite.

Go to the 6min mark.

well, I think that is the the actual game that shows where he is at.  He doesn't have to be great.  But KC and Tampa literally setup for him to do well.  Weaker pass defenses that have high blitz %. 

Philly presents the nightmare scenario for Bryce.  Great pass D.  They barely blitz.  And the cold exposes weak arms.  If Bryce somehow looks just okay vs that....I will then change my tune on him.  

The temp in Philly for the game this week is supposed to be 42. Same as the 4th qrt in the Tampa game.

He's glass.  Always was.  Trading him was the right decision.  I've been saying since day one San Fran was going to see the real McCaffery, and here he is ladies and gents.  They've basically gotten a season and a half out of him.

He’s not glass. He’s just overused.

Wait really?  Some other numbers suggested that wasn't close to true 

I just saw Josh Norris quote some pff numbers. No idea what they use to get that number.

That can't be true

Can’t embed tweets anymore I guess.

He’s also has the 3rd most drops this season.

Not sure what I think about Bryce’s business decision on that fumble.

Maybe he knocks it away. Maybe he breaks his arm.

That was fast.

100%. An OL in the 3rd or 4th each year.

Going from not being able to complete a pass to save his life to a 300 yrd, 3 TD, 0 INT game in one season is nuts.

It must have been all mental.

Theilen alluded to trying to help Bryce understand he didn’t have to be perfect on every play.

I’m encouraged. Derek Brown plus another run stuffer and one or two better line backers will go a long way.

Another good WR will help a ton as well.

Next year will be much better.

I can’t believe I’m enjoying panthers football.

This is the 2nd most yards they've allowed to 1 QB all season. Lamar got them for 273 in a loss. He also ran all over them. But he's a different animal.

Interesting. Thanks. Maybe there is real hope.

I think the chiefs defense is bad, like the packers defense Bryce had a great game against last year. Similar results too. The tell will be if Bryce continues this momentum or if it’s just a blip like last years performance was 

We’ll see.

Coming into the game, the chiefs were ranked 5th in total defense.

He actually threw a couple balls he previously didn't, but still left some out with throw aways in the end zone and out of bounds on scrambles. He looked much better but still limits the playbook and that will never change just based on physics

I would say his play today was average by nfl standards. I’m factoring the defense he played against.

Definitely better than the abomination that was the first few games.

He needs to be consistent and better to be worth keeping though.

MLS season is over, Broncos did this midseason

I’m talking about the period of time when both overlap. Or are you saying have artificial for part of the season and replace with real grass when mls is done?
