Someone will slam me for this, but I've just never thought the guy was as good as the press around him. Like Carson Palmer, everything was about how good he was, what a great passer, master of the game... but just never could push a team into real contention.

He’s not a guy who can carry an offense like a Manning, Rodgers, Brees, etc. by any means. But put him in New England with Belichick and he probably has at least a couple rings. At this point though he’s pretty bad. Rivers and Colts would be an interesting pair.

In a lot of ways, he seemed like a great individual player in a team sport.  Anymore, he is well past his expiration date.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
