Don't want to get too excited, but I saw him in person yesterday as well, and he definitely stood out. 

 

We got Brown as a UDFA and I'd be happy with a repeat performance.  Doubt he can crack the starting 53, but he could be a stash guy that gets more burn once guys like Ginn, Cotchery, Hill, etc make it or break it in '16.

David Newton said he probably won't make the roster. MVP or not.

He's not wrong. Byrd is a long shot to make the 53 which is exactly what "probably won't" means. If he makes the roster it would be at the expense of Philly Brown who they love. Can't see Gettleman having 3 tiny guys in the WR corps and Ginn is a lock.

What is the possibility that Cotch is cut in order for someone like Byrd to make the team? Everything you hear from DG or RR about Cotch is his leadership and vet presence, but nothing about production on the field; is the roster spot really worth it for just that? Olsen and Kalil offer that on the field, don't need someone who isn't productive eating up a spot when there is youth and talent to be had.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
