mage, you really haven't heard that before? how did you not comprehend that?  i'm bewildered.  

Are you referring to the quote "can't do anything until you prove it?"

Whether I comprehend it or not is irrelevant (which I'm perfectly capable of doing), it just didn't make much sense, especially in the context of the debate we were having.  You can literally say it about anyone.  LeBron James "couldn't win" an NBA Championship until he proved it.  Tiger Woods "couldn't win" a tournament until he proved it.  Wayne Gretzky "couldn't win" a Stanley Cup until he proved it.  

Arguing someone can't do something until they prove they can do it is a weak argument, because it applies to everyone who has walked the Earth.  A stronger argument would be to actually list reasons why someone can't accomplish something.  Andy Reid could certainly win a Super Bowl, just because he hasn't yet has more to do with a multitude of other reasons and not a complete inability to win the big game.

tl;dr Just because someone hasn't done something doesn't mean they can't do it.  It just means... they haven't done it yet.

If Rivera does lose his job this year, its going to be his terrible record against division rivals since the sb that will do him in.  Assuming we lose today, we are 5-12 against the division since our sb appearance.  

A lot of us said even this past offseason that our divisional opponents had figured Rivera out.

Figuring out has little to do with it.  Any coach that is in the league a couple of years gets figured out.  The problem is more along the lines of talent. Our qb has struggled with Deep balls really since 2016, our core defensive players have gotten older and the replacements are not as good.  Part of that is on Rivera of course.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
