Who says he would've signed here even if we made him an offer? We could make a thread for dozens of players we didn't sign every year. Silly.

If I’m correct, Whitworth signed a bigger contract than our bust Kalil. We weren’t gonna get him. 

 

And I agree above. I mean there are at least 4 good safeties right now that I know of that are still on the market.

Lattimore and M.Thomas from the Saints are the only NFC South players on the top 100 so far (#82 and #81)

Who do you guys predict will be on the list from the Panthers?

Cam:  pretty much has to be. Not a great passing season but he lead his team in rushing and posted the highest rushing total of his career.  My guess is #50 or so.

Luke : Had a down season but so did the entire defense, still had 3 picks and a fumble recovery defensive touchdown to go along with 70+ tackles and 50+ assists on tackles , with 1.5 sacks is still a very respectable season overall. He should be our highest ranked player like usual (with the exception of 2015 of course) . So my guess is #15

I dont think any of our other players will be on the top 100. Maybe Peppers because he got 11 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles at age 37 is rediculous. If hes on the list my guess is #72

Its odd that we went 11-5 by we might only have 2 players on the top 100 . CMC and Funchess were incredibly important to us team wise but I doubt they'll leave much of an impression league wide to be on the top 100. None of our secondary from last season deserve to be on the list, so I'd be okay with just Luke and Peppers from the D.

Luke, Cam, KK, and Peppers are sure things, not sure how you missed KK. Doubt anyone else has a chance but if anyone else it could be Williams or TD.

well, part of this poll is player popularity as much as youd want to think its purely a skill evaluation, its not. Thats why I dont think the likes of Short or Williams would be on there. 

Forgot about TD though. He could def be on there somewhere.

I understand that, but KK was on the list after 2015 and was once again completely dominant last year and is well respected by his peers--he'll be on there. Williams like I said is unlikely but I wouldn't rule out an All-Pro player on a playoff team, they tend to get noticed.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
