Yeah, I thought he handled pressure from the rush a lot better than Allen. He had good touch on his short passes, but his mid-range passes (where Allen shines) were pretty much straight trash and the more open the receiver was the worse his delivery was. His deep looked about like Allen's - consistently underthrown.

He wasn't historically bad but his play didn't inspire a lot of confidence. Granted, two of his interceptions could have been deep completions if our receivers had more muscle and he wisely chose to feed McCaffrey on half his throws. You could say he has the potential to become a serviceable backup which is what you might expect from a comp 3rd round pick while hoping for more. Can't draw a ton of conclusions from a single game but you could probably still say we saw enough to say that he's not the answer for the 2020 starting qb position (not that we expected him to be).

At least one of those throws was underthrown, giving the db a chance to make the play on the ball.

But, I was impressed with his pocket awareness and mobility for sure.

The one area where he excelled, better than Allen or even Cam, was pocket presence and movement.  He moved very well up and out of the pocket as the situation dictated.  That is pretty good when you realize just how bad our Oline plays.

Now, after the great movement, his passing is another thing altogether

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
