report of him when he was drafted in 06

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/players/48003.html

NEGATIVES: Lacks balance, is overweight and is constantly on the ground. Marginal pass-rushing skills. Injuries hampered him in the past.

Sounds to just be your typical fatty who sits and doesn't make plays....but can tackle if you run at him.

    • Those things are on nearly every team's wish list. There aren't 64 receivers with that kind of speed and route run ing available in the draft and we cant get them here in FA because we spent 100m to have the most expensive line in the NFL to put in front of Bryce.  I dont like how theyve built this offense either but a QB has to be able to elevate the pieces hes got somewhat to be a franchise QB, especially with what we paid for Bryce.  And if we did manage to somehow get all of that, Bryce would need to set every offensive NFL record because our defense would be so devoid of talent they'd never be able to stop a drive. 
    • Continuing to try to build an offensive supporting cast specifically around Bryce is dumb. Take the better prospects. Bryce ain't it.
    • That game (#5) was 4 out of 5 backup O-Linemen starting.  Dallas went into the GB game with 2 OL out and finished with 2 more out.   3 All Pros have left the Dallas OL since 2021 but they coach the new guys up well and use lots of draft capital in that OL.  Last week there were 2 UDFA's starting. If only they were as good at building strong DL's.
