The average completion rate is 15%~ higher than Samuel. 

  That’s not in question. And brings in many other factors. Mainly QB play. You questioned drops. Then made up your own definitions for them. And now you keep throwing any number you can that tells nothing specific about a WRs drops. 
 

   Where are these 30+ drops. We can go to GamePass and you can show them to me. Let’s go to the tape.

You do it. I don’t have the mental fortitude to watch last season again yet. Show me where it didn’t.

I consider “drops” to be be contested throws that should have been caught. The fact remains he caught only 51.4% of the passes that went his way. For example that’s 10% less than Moore. Who also had a dip last year.

No one cares what you consider drops to be. Stop making up figures to support your baseless claims. No one is buying it. Kind of like your documentary.

This has to be the dumbest non-story posted recently.  Of course they wouldn't shop Samuel.  Really young, promising, hasn't hit his ceiling yet and still on a cheap rookie deal.  With the loaded WR class, why would someone trade with a guy that will need a new deal coming up over a rookie that they won't have to worry about for another 4-5 years?

I think we probably aren’t shopping him too hard but whenever a team is shopping someone they’re going to say they’re not. I’d trade him for a 2nd but doubt a team would bite on that. I wouldn’t give up on his potential for less than that.

Yep agreed. I don’t know why everyone feels they deserve to know what the FO is or isn’t doing. These are professionals and this is a business. They may not want to but if someone gives them what they want, why not? Again these are sport professionals, they signed a contracts allowing their employer to do exactly that.

I know it’s hard to get over the family atmosphere the last FO try to engrain into the business on their path to mediocrity, but it’s ok to aim higher.

Not that many. It’s all throws to him. 
 

 He dropped 6 of 105.  

sources disagree on the exact number - many I've seen put it at 7.  For comparison, Ted Ginn also had 7 drops last season.

Samuel was also ranked 33rd out of 155 in highest drop percentage (lower ranking = more drops).  That's.... not good.

We'll see how he does with a different QB.

  A drop or 2 difference is normal between graders. That’s normal. But each one is looking at every WR thru the same eyes and criteria. Any other metrics involves other players performance that affects the WR.

What could we realistically get for him given this incoming WR draft class? I'd much rather hang onto him and see what Rhule and Brady can do with him.

  About the only choice is keep him. No team will give you more than a 4th. He’s better than that.

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
