Russ worked. I still vote Doug Flutie as a competent, sometimes really good starter when he came back from the CFL - and I maintain, I think he could’ve been that without going to the CFL, part of why he didn’t was because of the stigma the NFL has against smaller QBs to begin with. But, both Flutie and Russ had above average to excellent athletic traits - be it arm strength, strength, elusiveness, etc. and Kyler could’ve been right up there with him if he cared about football as much as he does Call of Duty and streaming. the difference between those guys and Bryce? Again, Bryce has almost zero desirable athletic traits you would want in an NFL QB. He is below average in every category. And then to boot, as you said, if you’re below average in EVERYTHING physical, you HAVE to be damn near the best mentally and processing - and he proved to be even subpar in that category. All of that to say, I will NEVER understand what anyone in our organization saw in him to not only draft him, but to trade up to do so and then give him 3 whole years to stink it up.

Yeah, I will also say, one play in particular really impressed me when he ran probably 20+ yards back, and I think he reversed field twice, but when he started running back towards the LOS he changed his stride to keep his shoulders squared to the LOS and still was running fast enough to outrun the rushers. It wasn’t even that he outran them that impressed me, it was the wherewithal and body control to change your gait mid-play, even at the expense of a full sprint, so that you were prepared to throw the ball when the opportunity came. And I’ll have to see more of him to compare like throwing distance-type arm strength, but velocity he passed with flying colors. He was zipping some absolute lasers out there, and I think, after what we’ve seen the last three years with Bryce, to me, that is much more important than being able to throw 70 yards downfield (although I love if they can do that as well lol).

I’ve liked him since he took over for the other guy, but really watching him tonight against top-tier comp and the throws he’s making… mid rounder? Sign me up.

Oh my God, if they wanted to trade Lamar, give them what they want. but, my guess is it is highly likely they fire Harbaugh and keep Lamar.

Had they started Cousins all year, they would’ve won the division.

Bro, how dare you disparage “big time throws.” In all seriousness, he should have sole possession of lowest all-time locked up, as the OP said, he has 500+ more attempts, so that’s gotta be weighted heavier.

Probably also the best at “little time throws” at this point.

That point Edelman made hits the nail on the head perfectly. It’s why he’s had such crazy aberration-type games that are way out of the norm. He can’t read it himself, he has to rely on what’s told to him prior to those big passes and they happen because it has been out of the norm and unlike the trends we’ve shown with Bryce until this year. It’s also why h can go from having 450 yards passing one game to only 50 another. And that, is inexcusable.

And yet, your boy barely had 50 yards passing today with the playoffs in grasp. But, flame away on the thread, bro. poo, seeing how our staff schemes, this thread might have just gotten me a job as quality control coach.

And I maintain, the grace that has been given to Bryce has never ever been given to a QB before him and likely never will after. Had guys like Clausen and Rosen been given 3 years for a team to be beaten over the head like Neegan did Glen with how shitty they are, I GUARANTEE, Clausen and Rosen would’ve had some 300+ yarders with 3 TDs.

Against tougher defenses we see what happens when Bryce attempts to be aggressive. That floater that ended up being a pick is what happens. I know you know this, but I’m just saying for posterity… they’re not being safe because the plays aren’t there to be made. They’re playing it safe because the alternative is multiple turnovers. And again, I just don’t understand how anyone worth their salt hitched their wagon to someone who hamstrings their entire offense like this.

Annnnnnnnnd go…

“Hey fans! Thanks for showng up! Sorry we didn’t.”

Yes. ”I just know Bryce was about to get in the groove and dot them up to add to his 49 yards passing had Jaycee not committed that penalty. I could feel it in my bones!”

Can we see if Seattle will leave Milroe or Lock behind?
