How would he get ahead of Aaron Rodgers? Rodgers is at a nearly 69% completion rate w/ 17 TDs to 5 INTs. Comfortably ahead of Bryce in every statistical aspect of he position. I get Rodgers is old as dirt but.....the production is pretty significantly better. -
I hear you, the sense of anger and resentment on the Huddle is bad even by Huddle Standards... I've tried to be pretty measured on Bryce lately. I want him to succeed. And I do think he does some things well, and makes plays. When he throws with anticipation, things look good. The problem is we're not seeing Bama Bryce anymore. We drafted Bama Bryce. We get 5.0 YPA Bryce. It's not exciting football. I love the wins, so I don't care that much about how pretty things are. The reality is fantasy football and sports gambling have overrun many people's perspectives on football and sports at large. Most fans want to see the big plays down the field for their own excitement. Most knowledgeable fans want to see it as a way to keep a D honest, close the door on an opponent, and just better execute good football. Remember the old Bill Belichick expression: "Stats are for losers." I'd much rather have ugly wins than pretty losses. But I can still enjoy a pretty loss on the HOPE that next time we'll get that bounce of luck our way. Wins and losses are often stated as a QB stat when football is a team game. We saw how Flacco has a career day but the Cincy D let him down. Does that loss count against Flacco? It shouldn't because W/L should be a Head Coach stat. As far as game winning drives as a stat, it's not overly important. It's cool, certainly so. It's also a team stat. If WRs don't catch the ball, if OL don't block, etc it's a moot point anyway. Like we had in Philly last year. Ideally, you shouldn't be in that position at the end of the game. Now as far as Bryce himself, I want him to do well. I want him to take the position of franchise QB instead of have it placed gently upon his head. I just don't think he's that guy. We'll finish this season with Bryce, and if he proves he's the guy and puts us in a winning position, great. If not, then we bring in competition for him. Or we trade him.
