And when San Fran comes calling wanting him to visit and offering $500k more per year? And then another team joins the bidding war? And he actually can't even officially sign anywhere tomorrow. He changed agents so nothing can be official for a certain # of days.

Didn't his previous agent stay on as co to avoid the time restriction.

When he was much younger I bet he dreamed about the money. For a good part of his life the money might have been his "ring". It's not until he reaches that goal will he realize the next goals is unattainable.

SF is a negotiation ploy to get as much money (which he deserves) from one of the teams on the east coast to sign him.  Washington makes a ton of sense given the proximity to NC. Josh wants to be in Carolina, but knows this opportunity is probably his last to get paid big time dough, and I don't fault him for it. Like DG said, it's business.  

If Josh can't be in Carolina and close to his family and inner circle, Washington, Atlanta, Tampa, Jax and Miami make a ton of sense. Florida teams also don't have tax, so if he really wants to maximize his dollar, I think all 3 of those are in play.

Regardless of where he goes, none of those teams can offer him the chance at a ring or two in the next few years.  Tampa might be the closest, but they are still a few years off.. IMO.

    • 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
