When Bryce is carried by the defense and running game, Bryce supporters say that it was a team effort and that Bryce did his part handing the ball off and making (simple) throws to win.
When Bryce needs to step up because the run game has been stifled and the team needs to win through his arm, Bryce supporters will blame Tepper, Canales, O-line, Defense, receivers, tight ends, weather conditions, the NFL, and fans who don’t support BY9.
I feel Dave and Dan see this, hence the emphasis on being a running team. Bryce doesn’t have the tools to succeed in a pass happy league.
