Perhaps, so stop giving him "kill" plays that are screens. He's not calling totally different plays from what the coaches want.

They probably have. Those are the plays that turn in to sacks or dumb 3rd down throwaways

You don't trade everything for Teddy Bridgewater. We crucified Teddy Bridgewater for this. Bryce basically threw nothing but screens and checkdowns 90% of his drop backs. His one deep ball was badly underthrown despite his receiver being grabbed and slowed down.  The yards per completion are a big problem. We're just not offering anything with Bryce to vertically threaten the defense.

Man this is exactly what we saw at Alabama. I had a handful of friends that agreed with me that the only reason this kid is any good is because of extremely fast first round draft pick receivers. You put him on a mediocre sec team and he would have been a 3rd round pick at best. The media got behind him and pushed him to the top IMO. Great kid just not physically big enough or strong enough for this level of play.

Imagine trading two firsts and a top 5 receiver to move up to #1 for a guy you don't trust to throw over 5 yards.  

Our franchise is fuging hopeless.  This is unreal.

It’s not a trust thing it’s a he can’t thing. Why do you think he didn’t go to the combine to compete. The combine has a lot of arm strength tests and he just can’t do it. His first starting year at Bama was great because of YAC the next year everyone just moved the safeties up and dared him to beat them deep and he just couldn’t.

I would argue that the fact that you have 3 QBs on your roster that can't move the ball against South Florida proves otherwise. But I don't follow Bama so what do I know ha.

You mean 2 qbs lol? Millroe didn’t play that game would have won by a bigger margin if he would have played. I’m not saying these guys are better than Bryce by any means. Yes we are feeling the effects of not having a good qb right now for sure. Bryce couldn’t win a natty at Alabama with the talent he had there not sure what he will be able to do at Carolina with the talent he has there that’s all

Dang, even the Bama fans have turned on Bryce. And that's while having to suffer through the disaster at QB now that he's gone.

Oh and one more thing that drove me absolutely crazy about him the entire time is his lack of pure emotion. I get the fact you want a cool and collected qb but sometimes an offense needs an emotional boost or spark from their leader. He is not that guy stone faced all the time I just don’t get it

Definitely not all the fans. I’m one of the few actually. He is a highly decorated qb at Bama no doubt but I think he owes that to the incredible receivers he had during his time there. Once defenses figured out his inaccuracy down field he was easy to defend. This why his numbers were not as good his 2nd year at Bama IMO and why he didn’t get Bama another national title. But that’s just my opinion

I completely agree with you cuz  i saw same thing when i watched his tape and made it known on here. As a bama fan, do you also agree he threw the ball better in 2021 than he did in 2022?? His passes had more velocity and just looked more crisp. 

I can’t remember where I found it but in 2021 his passes completed that were thrown 20+yards in the air was only like 33% that’s horrible. You have to remember who he was throwing to in 2021. He had speed for days with Jameson Williams, JOJO Earle, Brian Robinson, and John Metchie. These were all guys that turned 5 yard slants and tunnel screens in to 70+ yard track meets and that’s just not going to happen in the NFL. Not sure where you would find the stat but I would bet anything that the 4,800 yards passing he had that year 60% or more was yards after catch from these guys. JS

Got to get the ball out fast in a WC offense. Dalton knows the drill. 

This isn't Alabama where you have a top 5 OL and you can run around until somebody gets open behind some Vanderbilt DBs.

You’re right it’s not Alabama but he did the same crap there too. I was not a fan at all. Can’t tell you how many times we were yelling for him to get rid of it and it was always a short check down, underthrown midrange or overthrown deep ball. The guy may be extremely smart but lacks the strength and size to play at the NFL level. IMO

Lol you want to find a way to blame Bryce. The truth is simple, the guys around him haven’t been good enough. 

This is what all the Alabama fans were saying about BY last year. In a way that’s absolutely correct. He has to have speedsters that can turn 8 yard passes into 70 yard gains because his deep ball accuracy is awful. Both years at Alabama his numbers were super inflated by YAC and that’s just not going to happen for him in the NFL.

Attempting to throw deep on third down and possibly getting intercepted isn’t a bad play. The net result is basically the same as punting but at least the deep pass has to chance to result in something positive for the offense. Bryce has barely even attempted to throw up a prayer in the first two games. Why? I have no idea.

Simple he doesn’t have the arm strength to be accurate down field. He couldn’t do it at Alabama I’m not sure what made scouts and coaches think he would be able to do it in the NFL. Most all of his yardage in college came from slants and screens to superstar wide receivers that could turn 5 yard slants in to 75 yard td passes. 

All you have to do is find a way for the defense to play prevent the whole game and he’ll be just fine LOL

Big Bama fan here not a Bryce fan. I watched this same thing from him at Alabama for 2 years. He has no deep ball accuracy so he can not keep defenses honest. Once defenses figure that out they just go after him. Last year his accuracy on passes more than 25 yards in the air was less than 30%. Why the media had Bryce kool aid all over there mouths for the last few years is beyond me
