No, but Bryce has (committed career suicide).

I don’t know how many more excuses people can come up with for Bryce, especially after today, but I’m always surprised.

Canales has to make lemonade with a lemon at QB. He’s not the problem. The improvements to the line and playmakers were apparent in the offseason and it showed today. Guys were open and the offensive line held up (sacks were on corner blitzes). its my own hypothesis that Canales knows his QB1 sucks, and is doing all he can to show Tepper that. So now were 1-0 in that department.

he's literally the same guy/QB from week 18 last year. not an ounce has changed.

Saints are like "you get some stats, and YOU get some stats, and YOU GET SOME STATS." I'm tired of being trash in the league and division.

The positive is that next week the Saints will come back down to earth.

Have those supporting Bryce in the organization seen enough? I’ve seen enough.

they be using the wrong kind of language here. we're retooling, not restructuring.

at this point I just want all our wins to come against the division opponents.

Thanks for the info. If the panthers were to even be given this information they’d promptly toss it into the shredder and proceed to attack your strengths instead of your weaknesses.

For me a franchise QB/elite QB is someone you build your roster to compliment. (Something Ron never did with Cam on the offensive side of the ball until he was already broken down from carrying the team. He built around Luke which was great, but he neglected the offense.) Other QBs you have to build the roster around in order for them to succeed. I'm afraid that even with a good offense, BY is this latter type of QB that will just be a glorified game manager and needs everyone else to be perfect for him to be serviceable.

Can’t rebuild or retool if we never built anything. Looks like they’re actually building something.

Damn Ian Thomas has found the cheat code for infinite lives: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A, select, start(ed) this franchise.

I'm not sold on Bryce yet, but there was noticeable improvement in how he operated from within the pocket. I think that 2.7 second thing has really helped him speed up his apparently god-tier S2 processing speed.

How did Tepper respond when you told him to stop meddling?

Heard his name a lot last year when we played them. I looked up his game and season stats and the guy had a season high 6 tackles in a game against us. I'm down with the trade. We traded an undersized (doesn't mean much at this point) LB for a "proven" corner. Hope it works out.

If he looks good, he's only playing against the Bills' backups If he looks bad, he's playing the Bills' backups...

knowing this team, we'd get dominated by the Giants in Germany.

Since the offense was changed 3 times last year, it sounds like Dave found playbook 1 which isn't the dumbed down version of the offense?

Every conspiracy theory and theory I’ve heard and created about Bryce, right now, feels true. I just want him to prove me wrong but deep down I feel the magic 8 ball saying that it’s “very doubtful.”

I like the topic but can’t fully participate due to food coma. I will just choose now and go with SS89 and Cam because they were the only two players who were the face of the franchise and carried the team during their respective “reigns.” with those two there was always hope that if they were on the field there was a fighting chance even if everything else was falling apart.

They're showcasing how bad Plummer is so that when they put Bryce in we're tricked into thinking that he's so much better even though he just sucks less. A little bit of psychology going on. Ask his father.

I think we trotted Tony Pike out there who stunk it up as well. I too wished they would have used Armanti as a QB but Fox had mentally checked out.

How are they sure our starters are even starters without playing them in live games.

now that you mention it I think that's what happened as well. maybe both happened? Bryce carving them up one day, then the next day our O was getting manhandled (which continued into the preseason game).
