Wrong, it can help but a top 10 QB can negate a pass rusher, Huddlers have very selective memory let me remind of you 2013. A balanced team will always be better. Also later part of 2015 was poo when Bene and Tillman went down. Broncos won because they had pass rushers and secondary to throw of the timing of our routes.

The 2013 team's problem was that the offense was boom-or-bust, either getting a TD or going 3 and out. Be reminded that the starting secondary consisted of Drayton Florence, Captain Munnerlyn, Melvin White, Quinton Mikell/Robert Lester, and Mike Mitchell... while those guys performed admirably, 'balance' was not the reason that defense dominated. Stick that secondary on this year's team with this year's pass rush and Carolina does not go 17-2.

Title is a bit misleading. He hasn't done anything to indicate he would miss any team activities at this point.

Just stories going around the beat writers now.. Plus I did say "if" this is playing out like that.

Why would he sign his tender? Once he signs it he is under contract and must me attend all mandatory functions. As long as he doesn't, he can't be fined for not showing up. 

But we want him to show up for Mandatory function right??

The 2013 team is a perfect example of this. That secondary was about as average as it gets.

And they got exposed in the games we lost and the playoffs. A good front 7 does hide weaknesses but u can't expect them to dominante every game and every play, every weakness can exploited some way in football. 2013 vs. 2014 is even a big difference and we went to the superbowl with this unit. I think it's pretty clear at this point we are not gonna win a superbowl with a mediocre secondary  and nor should we settle. Gettleman knows this and he will put more talented back there.

He was good but our secondary still sucked in coverage, one of the reason we lost in the playoffs vs 49rs. 

Actually he wasn't good at all. Which goes directly to @SmokinwithWilly's point you refuted. The Steelers should ask for their 25M back after signing him. Our front seven made him look that good.

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
