Would you draft this guy?

Depends on what he has done after that incident

If he completed an anger management class/therapy and his actions dictate that he felt some remorse then sure we all deserve a 2nd chance

Only because he was a kid . So that Greg Hardy poster can call down

How long ago was this ? Has he stayed out of trouble since ? 

 

4th or 5th depending on some key factors 

2016  and he was still in high school when it happened..

He probably only dropped to the 2nd or 3rd round thoe if not a later 1st round pick..

3rd round for sure then, this situation is different then most, judging by the video looks like a relative was losing a fight and he jumped in, not a smart move of course but definitely different then something along the lines of ray rice or fosters allegations

Because he got in a brawl in HS and beat the poo out of a women on tape.. 

I'm all for second chances, especially for young people if they learn from their mistakes.  Given Teppers thoughts on domestic violence, I'd say theres not much of a chance, and I'm ok with that too.

I agree with this.. Context to the situation is important.. Look like his mom or sister was getting whipped and he being young jumped in to help his family..

Depends on what he's done since then and what all the interviews of coaches, friends, teachers, etc. turns up. It looked like he basically tried to break up a fight and got carried away. Not a good look at all, but I wouldn't completely bury the guy for it without doing some background checks.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
