Even if we aren’t committing to TB, seeing this stat should tell us one thing. A good O line can make anyone look good, especially with the offensive weapons we have. Ensuring the OL is the top priority along with either resigning Samuel or replacing him with a similar profiled player should be the top priority. If a QB can be had for a fair price and or great opportunity arises in the draft so be it but it starts in the trenches. Next year when we have an exuberant amount of cap space then we can go a little crazy but reaching shouldn’t be top priority this season.

The line gave us plenty of opportunities last year to make plays that we didn't simply because Teddy is god awful. It is not nearly as bad as most people think it is.

Exactly it wasn’t all on the oline, he made some terrible mistakes at critical times. I won’t forget he had plenty of time and threw the ball for 2 yds on 4th and 7 won’t never forget that. Would y’all like to some videos of that, got a bunch?

What his Y/A when throwing from a clean pocket?  What was the sample size?

Also, I'd like to see the reverse stats.  In today's NFL, even with a good offensive line, there will come a time when a QB needs to make plays under pressure and/or out of the pocket. The eye test says Teddy was terrible in these situations. Would like to see the stats to back that up.

Amen.  People want to act like Tampa did not use a first on a tackle after that they got Brady.  Brady wanted a upgrade on the oline for a reason.

Sure makes it easier to improve the line when capital doesn't have to be spent on a quality QB as well. The line needs to be improved, no question, but improving the line isn't going to make Teddy (or other such QBs) what they ain't.

That said putting watson behind a average rag tag group of lineman will not bring the results some expect.  Watson likes a clean pocket ( all qbs prefer it ) but his rushing disguises the fact he holds onto the ball awhile.  He has taken sacks a lot because of his rushing and holding the ball.  That's not gonna change.  I'm gonna get some poo but if CMC is healthy and we improve the oline I do think teddy could be better.

If you make zero changes but swap Watson for Teddy with last year's roster, that's worth likely 3-4 more wins alone. Again, I agree that the OL needs improvement but if a desired QB is available the team has to get him and improve the OL in parallel as they can.

      That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  Only Young can tell where that goes and everybody just has to wait for real football. That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of talking to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.

      Good lawd, look at the amount of rotation required for a mere 40-yard pass. No wonder he needs a runway for any throw beyond 50 yards.  Can you think of any NFL quarterback today who has a weaker arm than Bryce? For reference, with a similar amount of hip rotation, Stroud slung the ball 69 yards. https://x.com/VatorSports/status/1728845724434186374

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.
