At least he recognizes there's an issue and is seeking help to fix it. Too many times for too many people this ends badly and just gets swept under the rug and forgotten about. 

Yeah, even as a division rival I hope him the best with whatever is going on. I hope he can get things figured out and come back if he wants.

On the same note, seen some very ungrateful Falcons fans dogging on him for this. So much so the mods in the Falcons Reddit had to start threatening bans

I hate that for him.  As a human being, you don't want to see this happen to anyone, but hopefully he can get the help he needs to be happy and healthy.

Yeah, it's great from a play perspective because he's a really good WR, but beyond the field, you wish nothing but the best for most of these players.  They are giving up their bodies for our entertainment, and I just wish him the best.

Ya, hopefully he’s getting what ever kind of help he needs at this point. For him to be out on a Sunday you got to think what ever it is, is very serious. I hate to speculate but has he had any issues with concussions in his career? There’s been a couple hockey players around the league this year that had to take a step back because they were on the brink of(or attempted) suicide due to concussions.

    • 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 
    • 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.
