Will keep the whole family in prayer. keep pounding!

don't need any hope there. he WILL light us up lol.

The trade to #1 would be been ok if we had just taken Stroud. Thats who I wanted. We’d be singing a different tune today had that happened. but ya know, we’re stuck with Bryce so gotta hope he succeeds I guess.

how about we just sit him for the year or indefinitely. addition by subtraction.

I'm guessing the flip side is him getting injured in a "meaningless" preseason game?

The Patriots in recent years have been responsible for injuring our guys during the preseason so I’m ok with Bryce sitting. It’s a win-win regardless the way I see it. 1.) Plummer outplays Bryce and the staff, hopefully then, goes with the hot hand. 2.) Bryce is kept healthy for the season and even with the improved offensive line and receivers, Bryce continues to put up his rookie numbers. This will only lead to, hopefully, the staff seeing that they played to his strengths in building a scheme to maximize his strengths in short yardage passing, only for him to continue to hold the offense back, to selecting his successor in upcoming drafts.

I've followed this team since 2003 and what I've picked up along the way is that what the team shows during training camp and pre-season is indicative of their performance during the season. From what I'm seeing, the outlook for this year is not so good and a huge reason for that is QB1.

The Patriots have historically injured our guys, so it's a great idea to sit 1-2nd stringers. Let the fringe guys play.

dude is a straight up cat with 9 lives for sure.

we might not, but now it's highly likely Ian Thomas will.

Like Cam said, there are game changers and there are game managers. From what I’ve seen so far, Bryce will never be the former, and he can only hope to be half of the latter. He’s supposed to be Skynet according to the S2 but I never saw it.

So Smitty is teaching Mingo how to bail out his QB? Love Jake but Smith bailed him out more often than not

he aint got no time to think about how many months have 28 days. it's a trap. he must've heard "how many months ONLY have 28 days." but the question that was asked was "how many months have 28 days," which would be 12. math? shoot. I majored in music early on so that I only have to count to 12 max.

that's painful and relatable.

To my untrained eye Bryce looks exactly the same as last year. Yeah these are short clips but what I see is that his demeanor is the same (out there just to be out there). Is it "normal" for QBs to practice that way? I'm from the philosophy that how you practice is how you show up when it's time to perform.

No worries, no offense taken. I never knew that about the Stephon character but it makes sense. I’m something of a 90s kid myself.

I was just saying Steve in general, but you're right it was technically Stephon.

Hope he balls out so that we can change the narrative surrounding his size. until then, I’m 5’10 170lbs and look bigger than him.

nah, more like preseason lol

y'all the Steve Urkel references are spot on. after Bryce throws a pick six: "did I do thaaaat?" fans: YES

at least we have our first rounder next draft.

Depends on what “break out” means. Based on what I saw last year, a breakout year for Bryce would be 3000 yards passing, 20TD, 10INT, 6 RTD, 25 sacks.

I'm sure that'll help the o-line as well if it doesn't improve from last year.

I've always seen him more of a James Anderson type more than the TD replacement he was touted to be when drafted.

medium risk high reward kind of thing. just sign him if it makes sense. Would love to have him back (should've never left in the first place.)
