just watched the Peter King interview of Curtis, and one thing I'm very comfortable saying.

Neither DJ or Curtis are divas.  Doesn't mean we might not see a contract hold out at some point, but I don't think we'll be dealing with any diva drama from either one.

That's a very good thing.

Yeahhhh.....noticed that too. Going to be a long season if our boy can't keep that scar tissue from building up again..

Think you might be jumping to conclusions a bit there?

I agree. Not saying it's going to wreck his arm, but dude's been throwing the same way for 30+ years of his life. It's going to take a bit longer than one offseason to change his motion. I just hope his original motion doesn't put too much strain on his shoulder going forward. 

Footwork/hips looked great in the clip though. Cleaning that up should help his shoulder in the long run regardless.

He's clearly put in the work, and is dedicated to it moving forward, that's the first and most important step. Now the biggest question is how well can we protect him? We all love to see him running for first downs, but if we want to keep seeing crisp throw and catch plays like that, we need a run game that doesn't revolve around Cam Newton barreling forward with his throwing shoulder multiple times a game. This specifically is why I am hoping we are putting more emphasis on the RB's not named CMC. We need to get serious about this run game not just for the future of the offense, but the future of whoever is behind center. So far that seems to be the case, I think Tepper has had some input in that.

There are still some significant question marks, primarily of Cam's shoulder will hold up and to a lesser degree, the OL namely Williams' knee and Greg Little's NFL transition, but damn... if we can have some chips fall our way on those question marks this offense could be every bit as good if not better than the 2015 offense that led the NFL.

Moore flashes to me in practice. His technique is so much better down the field this year. He’s doing little subtle things with his body control and hands to separate from defenders. His route running looks cleaner to me. He still a fiery bowling ball from hell in the open field with RAC—he survived last year largely on that alone. Just so much more polished this year.

    • 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
