Are you going to be the one who tells everyone it’s OK when we’ve gone 3-27 after the “good starts” from 2018 through this year? This season definitely isn’t over, but when you finish 3-24 before this year WTF is there to talk about other than draft slots and prospects? I don’t seem to remember any draft talk during 2013-2017. I wonder why? It’s not because some of us aren’t super fans like you, it’s because at the midpoint of the season it’s unfortunately been obvious that we weren’t going to the playoffs.

We all can’t be a better fan like you who keeps this team on track and hopeful with you undying support. I don’t know where these players would be without you. Those of us who enjoy the draft process will start thinking draft as @PhillyB said when we lose enough that we know the season isn’t ending in playoffs.

Also, because I still don’t think it registers with you elite fans, we enjoy the draft because it gives us hope that we’ll find a Luke or Cam or Gross or Moore, etc. Amazingly enough we actually want to draft well so gasp, we make the playoffs again. Man, pompous asses who actually think they are better than others are truly annoying and not fun at parties. Drink a beer, relax and enjoy yourself without thinking so much about other people that you start a stupid thread like this.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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
