  1. 1. Whats more likely to happen among our young year 1-2 guys

    • CMC- goes combines 1,500 yards rushing and receiving
      62
    • Moore- 900 yards recieving
      25
    • Ian Thomas- 400 yards recieving
      7
    • Curtis Samuel- 1k combined yards
      3

I’m going to say Moore with 900 yards. It wasn’t that long ago that KB put up 1000 as a rookie.

I could definitely see CMC having 1500 yards from scrimmage but if I have to say which is more likely, I’m gonna say Moore with 900. I think CJ Anderson is going back to get a decent amount of work.

1500 for CMC is a pretty conservative bet imo. If there was anyone on the roster (other than Cam) that suffered from Shula's lack of match-up aware play calling and situation awareness, it was CMC. So many times he was matched up in the flat or on the outside against slower linebacker and just never got the ball. 100 combined yards should be this dude's floor each game unless the defense just overloads his side of the field.

I would choose 'none of the above', but if I have to pick one I'd go with CMC. Moore isn't likely to sniff 1k receiving unless he goes wild with yac and/or we have injuries. This isn't a pass happy offense and Funchess and Olsen should get most of the action. Dickson only got 400+ yards once (last year) and that was mostly due to that one game where he had a career day, and Olsen getting hurt, so no way the rookie collects 400. I don't see Samuel getting enough return yardage to bust 1k. I'll be thrilled if he can just have a decent rookie season and not get hurt. And yes he's a rookie as far as I'm concerned.

When u think about even though it sounds like a lot but your break down makes me think you're so dam right. 100 a game fifty rushing fifty catching should be a normal day based off what he can do. I'm claiming it with our great offense minded coach

    • 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
