I wouldn't be surprised if we cut Anderson this year and bring in a young athletic QB with some upside. Anderson has nothing left. Not sure they would do it though with Cam possibly not being 100% yet. Not sure I would want Kayaa though. Bwood would want him starting over Cam

Matt Waldman's take on Kaaya:

https://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2017/01/16/rsp-film-room-no-90-qb-brad-kaaya-extended-look/

The junior from Miami has the skills to earn a nice second contract in the NFL.

Technically and athletically, Brad Kaaya is the polar opposite of Patrick Mahomes. While both players have starter potential, Kaaya is the textbook option.

Kaaya’s footwork is consistent, he has experience under center, and he throws the ball away when pressure looms. Where Mahomes can scramble, Kaaya does a great imitation of young Peyton Manning escaping a pocket.

Kaaya has a good enough arm to become a productive NFL starter. But because the isn’t a hose hanging off his right shoulder, Miami wasn’t a top program during Kaaya’s tenure, and the junior isn’t a flashy athlete, don’t look for him to earn a spot in the first round.

Don’t be surprised if he drops to the third or fourth round. The NFL takes those resume bullet points seriously when it comes to risk assessment and if Kirk Cousins was a mid-round pick after all the fawning over his golden boy persona, Kaaya could see a similar fate.

Like Cousins, Kaaya has the fundamentals to develop into a long-term NFL starter. In this extended look at Kaaya against Pitt, I cover positives about his footwork, play action game, reading the field, pass placement, and “fat balls”.

There’s also a good segment about perceiving pressure and learning to tell if it’s a problem for a passer.

He shouldn't of been picked, he was trash when I watched him.

Kaaya just isn't that good. Pretty athletic, live arm, just not a very good QB. I always thought he was basically a poor man's Kaepernick.

Every time I watched him I came away unimpressed.  Just thought he was meh as a College QB.  Never understood the hype.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
