Seems to be a very fair and accurate assessment.

Fans can often be overlay optimistic, but if you look at this roster objectively its pretty bad.

Expecting a player or position group to be better than they ever have been in the past just to become average or slightly above average isn't a good sign.

Position groups with proven, above average play:

RB - If CMC stays the same you are ecstatic.

WR - Moore played well.  Anderson has his moments, and Samuel as a WR3 isn't bad.

Safety - Both Boston and Burris have played well in the past.

DT - Short is proven.  This board has overplayed his demise a a lot.  Maybe he hasn't played at a top 3 level the past few seasons but still above average.   Also I expect Brown to play well.  Normally I wouldn't count on almost any rookie to be above average their first year, history tells us that is just stupid, but I felt like he had the highest floor of any of the top prospects so I'll make an exception.

Here are the groups that need to have career years to play good:

QB, OL, Edge, LB, and CB

That's a lot of hoping.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
