Bear Hands

Yeah his 4th quarter performance in particular was stellar. Showed a lot and am excited to see how it progresses this next week. Gives some level of added interest to the season as well. It’s been nice to see.

Waldron is the one I’m keeping an eye on if B Johnson doesn’t pan out. Waldron or maybe poach Canales from TB.

On topic - Bryce was awesome today. So close to a W.. a lot of promising throws and composure. Now go enjoy your christmases

I specifically told you why you got a timeout. You were bashing the board, bashing posters, doing nothing else. Don’t start and don’t only post spats. It’s really that simple.

I mean, they had quality wins beating Cleveland, Baltimore, the Rams, & GB. I wouldn't say the Raiders, TEN, or Bengals games were anything much, but they managed 7 wins. That's the "down" year.

I think Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the league, and arguably one of the best coaches of the 21st century. The fact that he's managed the wins they had this year with this Pickett/Mitch mess is honestly impressive. Not to mention guys like Pickens being a toxic prick. That being said, I agree with some that he's not going anywhere. They've just been stuck in QB hell ever since Big Ben's 2nd to last season. The QB situation is cramping the team--they need a new franchise QB...and they'll be in a good spot this draft with them likely out of the playoffs.

So theoretically, could get 2 Carolina guys in a Ray Agnew + Ben Johnson GM/HC combo. Or maybe those two are a package that goes to LA instead.

Yeah Herbert alone will make them appealing for an OC type like Johnson (I'd imagine) Although, the rest of the offense is in a bit of a pickle. Zion underperformed this year. Slater is about the only sure thing on their OL. Ekeler is on the downturn/lost a step, there's no real RBs in house to take over (Kelley is bad). Everett is getting older and their best TE. QJ has struggled mightily and Mike Williams is gone. Defensively, they have Derwin. Stud. Mack (getting older) and Bosa (always injured). Two really promising young guys in Ken Murray and Tuli (one of my fave rookie pass rushers), but the rest is kind of a mixed bag. Detroit wise - I guess it would be Ray Agnew (former player) after scoping things out. He's 56 y/o, interestingly enough, went to NC State, played ball for them in the 90s, from Winston Salem. Was the Rams director of Pro Personnel from 2017-2020. https://sidelionreport.com/posts/detroit-lions-assistant-general-manager-ray-agnew-is-a-legit-candidate-for-chargers-gm-job

I'm pretty sure the 5-7 of those people realized how embarrassing it would look and bailed lol.

I will say, if Bryce can start navigating the pocket like he was in Q4, come out next year through full-NFL conditioning program, under a modern scheme, tailored for him by Waldron/Johnson/Canales/whoever, maybe there's something. A hit on the HC with at least one offensive playmaker are the two things that abso-f*cking-lutely need to happen if we want to see if this can work.

It was a very solid game winning drive that should boost some confidence. Packers aren't world beaters. Have some games to build momentum. Defense was incredible today. Brown and Luvu played their brains out. Bryce managed the game mistake free and made some solid throws in key moments. Positives today. No TDs, but positives nonetheless.

I was brought on a ~monthish ago to try to help because I want to bring a solution to it and keep contributing discussion over mindless bashing of the board. Bashing the starting QB is still at least about football (until it goes to far or turns to spam)..but endlessly bashing posters and the board does nothing. Helps nothing. And just wastes time and space. Just because a mod isn't a Bryce fan does not mean we're restricting positive Bryce chat. But he's overall played pretty bad so it's going to be magnified. Just gotta make the arguments for him. Now, if you think there's sh*tposters being missed, then flag it and send it our way. I'll get on it.

You are only criticizing the board, posters, and contributing nothing. Deal with it. If that's all you're going to do, then this is what you're going to get.

holy smokes are we going to win?

Also locking this bc it's not going anywhere. A bit of a baseless, in game, reactive Bryce bash.

If all you're going to do is spat with people then you're gone. Simple as that. Just chill tfo

pretty much this.

Oh just go for the TD. Have some gall here

Looks like all the people there have migrated to the lower level.

WRs were awful there. And you can not take that sack. No one was open, keep it a chip shot.

Mingo was not where he needed to be.

Solid chance we have below 3.0 YPA at the half.

oof
