I know he is not starting yet, but he will be by end of season. He is playing very well now and I am so happy to see that he is getting better every day. What surprises me is how good of a passer he is. Someone like Monk has NEVER had to pass it before! lol That talent? Pass the ball? heck no....but he has learned that all the defenses are dropping off to help with him and their man is wide open.  I have seen so many assists he has made in the air to a wide open player. You are taught from YMCA ball not to leave your feet to pass, but in the NBA that is kinda a normal thing these days. But Monk looks totally natural at it like he knows where he is going with it before he gets in the air.  You know because you can tell when you are in mid air and say "Hey I might pass this ball" that is ugly.  

I am also impressed with his defense. I remember vs Miami with Dwayne Wade tried to get him in the air with three fakes and Monk didn't bite. Nothing surprised me more. Wade gave him his decent fake and he didn't bite so he gave a better one and even on the third he gave the best fake and Monk is right there! That tells me he has his fundamentals down and trusting them. Not saying he is going to be a stopper on d but it tells me he is listening to coaching and trying hard.  

I can't wait to see where he ends up.

      NFL Week 5 -Other Games

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      2 bad teams played yesterday and one lost. Both teams are still bad today. Bryce is a big part of that. It wouldn't have been a close game if DC would have just gone rage rushing from the start.  The Panthers would look so much better with just decent WB play. No way to avoid that fact.
