Again it’s simply easier to say he played good when he does and to say he played bad when he does. Last week he played bad. Period. Highlighting a play where a 300 lb OL plants on his injured ankle by stepping wide immediately during a game where he set the passing yard record looks silly. It’s no different than a Bryce fanboy highlighting a play (that had nothing to do with him as well) from last week. He was also stepped on after hiking it at 3:04 and touched at 3:02 ending the play. 2 seconds of figuring out why his ankle got smashed by his own OL.

Yeah not sure what broadcast everyone was watching but they literally slowed it down and showed Zavala immediately kicking his foot out and planting it on Bryce’s injured ankle. This play was 1000% on Zavala. I’m telling you all it’s easier to just accept it when Bryce plays bad and also accept it when he plays good. Coming at it with some I was right agenda just makes you look silly…

Their CB2 and NB could have been out. I don’t know who the normal starters are there.

I saw Terrell playing along with Bates and Watts. Walker and JPJ played too. Not sure about their CB2 or NB, but pass rushers, safeties, and CB1 all played.

Seattle kept Sherman on one side most of the time too. We also don’t have enough talent in pass rushing and secondary to just man up.

So we keep Bryce as QB2 and just use him against the Falcons?

Yeah it let him know all he needed was a FG to win. It was the right call.

Falcons sweep. Above 500. More wins than last year. I’ll take it!

Great win! Passing offense actually looked legit!

With us he didn’t but I think he dipped out on NE…

If Allar falls that late due to injury I’d definitely take him. 4th might be the highest I’d go too.

Dante Moore is probably staying another year but he would absolutely be a first rounder if he declares. Lance, Willis, Z Wilson are some young FA QBs with some potential. Draft will probably be mid to late unless someone falls. Arkansas, Cincinnati, UConn have some QBs with lots of experience that might go in this range. Someone has the Baylor QB as an option later in the draft who could work too.

I feel like this is an entirely different subject than “Did Trey Lance Get A Fair Shot?” but ok?

Yeah it’s bad. I remember being high on him after that Clemson game.

I keep wanting Fields to find success but man he is becoming the common variable…. That and making terrible decisions like signing with the Jets.

All the more reason to bring him in if you think he is an instant upgrade.

Funny thing is, Will Levis arguably played better than Cam Ward for Tennessee. I say this as a Ward fan and someone who is indifferent on Levis. A lot of weight in put into where these guys were drafted. Levis also has an injury history though and plays pretty physical which is a bad combo.

What’s the worst that can happen? He is bad and we have a bad backup QB?

I would think Jim Harbaugh knows a little more about QBs that our staff judging by the track records. Harbaugh liked what he saw enough to remove Heincke (who is a bad starter but solid backup in this league) from his roster to keep Lance as QB2. So Trey Lance looked awful in preseason 2 years ago and looked completely different this year. The man has always needed reps. I'm not saying he is the answer by any means but writing him off from such little experience at the age of 25 is premature at best. People were claiming Darnold and Jones were done as QBs at one time as well. I'm all for signing him to a backup deal and letting it be an open competition. Low risk, high reward.

I liked him before that, but that sealed the deal. I always thought at worst he could be a Goff type player. His accuracy and leadership were top notch.

Yeah this always drove me crazy. Now you have to definitely consider players from these schools being on stacked teams, but you can say the same for UGA, and LSU when Burrow was there.

Reese AND Thieneman would make our defense so fun! Love getting a C too and Robertson is solid (if nothing else he can be a decent backup in the league). I'm thinking a later round QB to pair with a FA QB2 is the best route for this draft. UConn's QB has 25 TDs and 0 INTs and has played like 6 years. If Green drops to the late rounds, I'd love to take a flier on him.

I get that for players like Burrow, but Hurts literally had more starts at Bama than he did at Oklahoma. I think that's a little different story IMO.

Yeah he wasn't playing here. Pretty sure he told them he wasn't. If by some miracle he did, he was just be on IR here with our OL back then.

I believe he requested a trade once they put him at QB3 behind Purdy and Darnold. Doesn't look great but everyone knew he needed time as a prospect.
