Haha people here act like we haven’t wished for this type of QB play since 2018. We would have cut off our arms for a Purdy. Such a weird fanbase that never knows what it wants. I remember when many complained when Cam got his second contract lol

MNF @49ers on November 24

Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year. We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019. I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.

Any more safeties or linebackers to sign?

If he was a leader in the locker room he probably would have been retained. I think this is more about culture than anything

Yup Grant was the reason Graham got to make so many plays

We may have dodged a bullet with Mason Graham. It’s only rookie camp but he didn’t look the part. https://twitter.com/nflfrascella/status/1921375482009862169?s=46

Jimmy Horn Jr may be the steal of the draft. I can see him breaking out big time with his mentality

It's called the "girlfriend" experience fantasy

Glad they did, I feel like our two edge rushers will do just fine

Tarheels She's not an escort, she was dating another CEO prior to this who is also 64 years old. She clearly is a gold digger and looking to capitalize off Belichick's brand and recognition. She already amassed an $8MM real estate portfolio since theys started dating. She's overplayed her hand though with the most recent activities. UNC ban will either cause Bill and her to break up or Bill may likely break up with UNC.

How are the seats? (Asking for a friend)

Tanking for Archie

What Bryce lacks in elite arm strength he makes up with being able to throw from multiple angles and off platform throws. Sometimes people don’t realize that’s just as important. But there is nothing about his arm strength that gives me pause he cleared that up last year

Fair enough I don’t know that I would be disappointed necessarily it all depends on the overall status of the team, defense, etc. I would be disappointed with anything less than 20-25 TDs and 3.500 yards in 17 games

I’ve said this before, in retrospect I consider 2024 his true rookie year. When I judge it from that standpoint there’s a lot to be encouraged and excited about. He wasn’t a top 10 QB in that timeframe but he definitely looked like a legitimate starting QB with upside potential. I do expect top 10 numbers this year.

He strikes again

My bad totally misread that. That works in the most obvious situations

Great point, sorry mixed you up with the Aggie dude haha

I think Bryce can sneak it too, but we weren't competing for the playoffs so not sure it was ever worth the injury risk??? With playoffs or division on the line, it should be on the table. Bryce is athletic, he's quick and agile, the QB sneak is not all about power or size. But the larger point is that people will always be fixated on what he "can't do" vs. what he does bring to the table. I just think the goal posts are constantly moving. At least it was the concern about batted down passes, then the long ball, now the QB sneak. I guess we'll get past it all eventually when we win some games.

I respect that - most fans want him to succeed and I think he will. They just need to be able to handle the ups and downs without losing their minds. There will still be some stinker games sprinkled in.

Nah I genuinely never cared about QB sneaks. I don’t see it as a disadvantage anymore than it was for Brees or Wilson. I would much rather hand it off or have run a QB bootleg

Well he averaged 226 last 7 games so he’s trending in that direction. 230 average is attainable especially with more weapons now

If you’re pass happy it’s most likely because you’re always down by a score or two
