Bills tried to claim him when he was released and Rex was the guy who drafted him. He fits our 4-3 scheme much better and it would be a homecoming but Buffalo will almost certainly be in on him which could raise his price if we go after him.

Unrelated, but he really does have the grossest arm brand I have ever seen and no that's not a challenge to find one that's worse.

The answer is an astounding,  obvious,  undisputed YESSS

 

Got drafted high,  got paid alot,  got stuck in a 3-4 when hes a 4-3 DE.. 

Didnt produce,  got waived

 

Idk what happened with the Dolphins,  but they fugin suck. 

 

 

 

Bring him in on a fair deal and see what he can do.  We have a history of reviving players.   

 

Mitchell

Ginn

Oher

Coleman

 

 

If you say no bécause you think he sucks youre resting on your laurels,  leaving stones unturned,  and not wishing for due dilligance

 

Yesss

Huge bust. And to think, according to Rivera, we really liked him as a DT when he came out.

But why has he been a bust?

Is he really just not that good, or is has it been poor system fit?

I haven't followed him closely enough to know, but that's the question I'd be asking myself if I were gonna take a look at him.

To be fair, nobody expected much of Ted Ginn when he signed here either.

Jets drafted Sheldon Richardson, tried to make Coples a 3-4 OLB when he's really a 4-3 DE. 

According to some guy on Reddit.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
