I keep saying it--if he ain't an Alpha, he ain't a franchise QB. Discuss. When I think of Alphas, I think of Allen, Mahommes, Rogers, Hurts, Baker, Burrow, and Jackson. They make everyone around them better-not all are the best QB in terms of talent or skill set, but the voice in the huddle 10 seconds before the snap is important. It gives the team confidence and hope.

He had some maturity issues early and would pout. He outgrew them. A frachise QB is a franchise QB at all times---so those criticisms were justified. It is not to equate that to wanting Bryce tarred and feathered, however. It is OK to criticize when you see a flaw or fault, but on the other hand, you better praise the good. My concern about Cam was Rivera. He sacrificed Cam, in my view, by having him run a lot. Cam kept RR employed. Cam could have been frustrated with his situation and nothing more. But having met Cam, I can say there are few if any people like him. He is/was genuine. He cared about the people who cared for him.

the problem? We SHOULD have been developing a qb as the backup every year until we had our guy. Bryce is an entitled puss who has never been more than a game manager--always surrounded by talent that dwarfs most of his opponents.

How do you sell it to the PSL holders? You can't. I a tired of seeing the other color jerseys in the stadium and watching our QB slapping his knee in the red zone because he goofed again.

I agree. I hate to keep repeating it, but an Alpha makes everyone better. Not Nice bryce slapping hands at the locker room gate after giving the opposition points.

Yes. A new era requires a different approach. The Packers have been very successful doing this--it is the most important position in sports--you should ALWAYS be developing a young QB or 2.

Here is my take on why I can't pick good QBs in the draft--it is all about the timing, supporting cast, and system. If we bring in "damaged goods" like Howell or Levis, for example, give him a running game. IMO, we are solid at RB (assuming Brooks and Entienne step up). Not sure about these guys, but Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff, Daniel Jones (I wanted us to go after him, fwiw), and Sam Darnold. If you think about it, that means that 15.6% of the starting QBs in the league are former "busts." We could find the right player and draft a player and we'd be better off than we are now. I think we need the following: a #2 WR. I think TMac is solid and Coker is a great slot. XL can be a situational WR creating a tough coverage matchup (S or nickel), and Horn does what he does. a playmaking, elite TE. Not only does it give the D another threat. We also need to break ties with at least one of our overpaid guards. Frankly, #74, Curhan (27), needs a contract for 2026, but a deal in the $4m range is a lot better than Hunt's $100m for 4 contract. He is 27 and has shown to be a solid RG. C Mays (26) needs a team-friendly, long-term deal at C, but he needs competition. He makes about $3m per season--I would say double it for 3 years--something in the $18-$21m range. The $$$ they were going to spend on young should go to our LT, Ickey. So this is a rough plan to improve the offense and locking down players at TE, WR, OL, and RB for the next few years. We need an Alpha. Remember the '85 Bears? McMahon was not that good--he had a good defense, great RB, good WRs, a stud OL....and he was an Alpha. Baker is an Alpha. We did not have the parts around him. He sucked and is not succeeding with better support. Canales knows this--saw it first hand.

We have the Rams, Seahawks, Bucs twice--I do not see Bryce shining through it. I think they would be crazy to offer him the fifth year option, but if they have no backup plan--which they don't--and they solidified that when they signed Dalton. I imagine that he will stay as a transitional backup to tutor the new QB-- I think there is some opportunity this year for a young QB. I personally like some of the players who have dropped a bit--but if they do nothing and sign this pussy for another year--and I wanted to like Bryce, but that "doggonit" hand spank when he threw the pic at the goal line--then the look to the sideline as if he was hungry and ready for the nipple--just pissed me off. The play calling? Bad. Why? The do not have confidence in their QB.

Here is what mrBdawg is not getting. The Niners get no pressure on the QB (like us). They walked the S up into the box, daring Bryce to beat them deep. By running play action, they should have had opportunities down field. Bryce hesitates because he is basically a pussy. Scared to fail. Aside from the TMac TD, we did nothing about it. The play calling (screens) vs a team that can't rush the passer is a head scratcher, but when your QB cannot throw a deep out, a dig, a post, or a slant with any accuracy, it leaves you with the safe passes with YAC your best option.

Last night, Bryce was missing horribly when there was no pressure. TMac seemed to show some frustration on the sideline. Bryce is showing no signs of going through progressions. The look off that went to TMac for 6 was always going to TMac....When they saw the safety crowding the box, it was the call. Why we did not do this more is a mystery--it does not necessarily reflect poor playcalling--it probably reflects a lack of confidence in your QB. Bryce has one good game against the Falcons and starts acting as if he has arrived. It was a good game sandwiched between two atrocious games. If we do not move on, this franchise is not determined to win.

Red Zone: I would like to know how many points he has scored vs the points he has given away. To me, the bottom line is this: He is not processing. He can't throw over the middle. He is not an Alpha....Do not pay this Man $200m. 4 years has been bad enough. He was the #1 QB taken and is in the bottom 20% of the league during his best season. If the Panthers were to trade him--what would they get? Personally, I like the depth of the QBs in this draft. Take 2. Let them compete. Send Bryce to summer camp without a bus ticket home.

The Bryce Factor--1 TD, 2 INTs in scoring position, One suck ass pass on a 2 pt conversion. His value? -5 net points.

so lets have our 5'8" qb throw over the middle with one yard to go.

No rushers, no linebackers, and safeties are rumored to exist. I can't figure this out.

We have the niners, Seahawks, and Rams left on our schedule, and Tampa twice. hard to imagine we will win the division.
