Didn't realize how much cover 3 he runs. Seeing how many throws went to the middle of the hashes or boundaries about 10 yards deep, wish we ran some more Cover 2 zones that game

Yeah, what the hell is Scott doing on that 1 play he dropped back to the 40?? There isn't 10 seconds left in the half and need to defend a hail mary...

And the only reason we are 28th is because we gave Horn a new contract in the offseason. Otherwise, we would be dead last

Go watch one of the million videos posted in threads that past few days reviewing Bryce and that will give you your answer. Off the top of my head, Renfrow twice on a wheel route for a TD, Renfrow twice on a comeback route with about 5 yards of separation, XL 2 or 3 times on in routes (which I guess I'll excuse because he probably would have dropped them anyway), Tet on a deep post that Bryce overthrew. I'm sure there were more plays - there are just too many to keep track of.

XL is Shenault, except he can't return kicks/punts and has the elusiveness of a deer in headlights

Agreed! If by downfield, you mean throwing the ball 20 rows deep on 4th and 1 or throwing the ball way out of bounds on open wheel routes

This pic would be better if it showed XL dropping the torch as they hand it to him like he does half the passes thrown his way

What to do: Start scouting the QBs hard in the draft - if you don't like any of them, don't reach for a QB, trade down to let another team reach for a QB and rebuild the defense. If there is a QB you like, take him (we should have a top 5, maybe top 3 pick at the end of the year). If we don't draft a QB, let Bryce tank again the following year for another top 5 pick and repeat above before letting Bryce walk (if we can get a 5th rounder or better, trade him I guess). We are so many pieces away from a Superbowl team right now - what I don't want to see is us desperate for a QB and draft another awful QB high in the draft.

And let's not forget that 10 of the Jacksonville points were a result of a bad BY pick that gave Jacksonville a short field and the failed onside kick that gave Jacksonville a short field

At least we didn't trade away multiple 1st and 2nd round picks for our defense to suck like we did for Bryce to suck... Bryce is the reason we have been awful since week 1 of 2023 and will probably be awful for at least another 2 seasons after he is gone. And not sure why people keep saying BC plays better than Icky... Sure, BC is probably a slightly better pass protector than Icky, but people fail to realize Icky is one of the best run-blocking tackles in the league. Want to know why Chuba ran for so many yards last year? A big reason is because of Icky. Want to know why Chuba didn't do much running the ball last week? A big reason is because of Icky (and Bryce being so bad Jacksonville wasn't worried about the pass)...

Hmmm.... why could we be mad?? Maybe because we drafted Bryce #1 in 2023 and he still sucks + have tried to draft and sign every high value free agent on offense to help Bryce out. Want to know why our defense sucks... We spent a crap ton of cap space on Hunt & Lewis because Bryce can't see over the oline while drafting mostly offensive players in the draft the past 2 years. I think most of our fan base would struggle to name a player on our defense besides DB and Horn. And the sad thing is... Our defense somehow outperformed our offense week 1, despite having little talent and a ton of new parts. I will give you 1 thing though... We should be less mad at Bryce and more mad at Tepper/the front office that thought Bryce was worthy of the #1 pick.

And unfortunately for us, the Panthers are Dante's Inferno 9 Circles of Hell... It just gets worse and worse

The good news for Bryce is that his tape looks so awful that teams are probably confused on what route/aspect of being a QB Bryce is actually good at

Surprised because he hasn't progressed/improved at all mechanically from when he played at Alabama... That isn't normal with all of the faults he had in his footwork/passing at Bama

I thought the 10 yard in route was a good throw because he threw it with perfect anticipation. I don't get how he makes that quick decision and a perfect throw, then every other throw he makes is a late read that either is thrown out of bounds, to the other team, or is a hospital ball

I noticed that Renfrow was wide open on a lot of plays also - I think every comeback and wheel route he ran he was wide open (at least 5 yards of separation).

Spot on - this dude needs to be our actual NFL tape review guru. The part where he says Bryce is always in a passive stance on pass plays is eye-opening. Bryce is never stepping forward getting ready to throw a dart to someone when in the pocket; he just loosely stands in the pocket then throws off his back foot and lets the ball hang in the air...

And I'm sure only 1 team had a WR that could have easily gotten both feet in bounds for a catch but didn't because he is a moron and that team lost... Bryce sucks, but XL might suck even more

More like 20/80 balls... As in their is a 20% chance our guys catch it and 80% chance the defense picks it off

I think more than a DC, we need to get an experienced OC so Dave can stop worrying about calling plays and actually be paying attention to the game. Norvell tried to do the same crap at FSU. Finally got an experienced OC and let him focus on the coaching part of the game and FSU looks miles better this year than last

How else can he warm-up up his supercomputer brain to try and read the Jags defense

But... but... but... Our receivers suck, it's the defense's fault, the oline should have been better, yadda yadda yadda (I'm sure I'm missing other excuses also) -Signed... most of our fans

No argument there, but QBs are able to elevate the players around them. Bryce just sinks in quicksand right along with the rest of the team. If Bryce were a 3rd round draft pick or later, I would be less mad. We drafted him #1 overall though and he just doesn't make the players around him better.

1st pick was a panic we need a WR for Bryce type of pick - they chose the wrong one. 2nd pick was inexcusable because RB was the one position we didn't desperately need I get the Wallace pick - dude has great athleticism for the LB position. Just has zilcho instincts 4th and 5th round picks look good to me Could care less about 6th and 7th round because those are usually special teamers at best caliber players. Plus we got Coker as a UDFA to negate them. Overall probably a bad draft because of the 1st 2 picks + Wallace looking bad (granted, I think Brooks would have been a good RB if he could stay healthy). I do think Dan did a good job in the 2025 draft though.

And I would have Morgan safer than Canales IMO. Outside of the whiff on XL and taking Brooks when we didn't need a RB, I think Dan has drafted pretty well his 2 years in charge as GM. I'm more concerned with the free agent acquisitions that have mostly been busts, but I'm not sure if those were more coach decisions or Morgan decisions. But I honestly think Canales just isn't a good coach and wouldn't have a problem cleaning house (at least HC, OC, DC, GM) at the end of the season. The only problem is no HC and GM worth a crap are coming to this dysfunctional franchise.
