I know this sounds crazy, but was Jake really the best QB we have ever had?

I could make a case for Steve Beuerlein. Lets put this in perspective before people throw the playoffs at me. Don't forget that Steve didn't have Steve Smith. and the Defense wasn't the same. Steve's best year kills Jake's best year, when he lead the league with 4,436 yards and a 94.6 passer rating. I think if we went back in time and put our team with Steve as QB, we would be pretty good. If anything they are just as good as each other, i don't think i can call jake the best.

Steve's best year is clearly better than Jakes's but Jake has been better longer.

I know Jake has had a better situation than Steve but "it is what it is"

I like Jake, have always supported him and pulled for him until this year that is.

Fox clearly didn't expect his play to decline so rapidly and is not prepared so this year we have to settle for crap at QB. If Fox is still here next year and he stays with Jake I pity the fool.

Steve may not have had Steve Smith, but he had plenty of offensive weapons, way more than we do now. He had Muhammad in his prime, Patrick Jeffers, Wesley Walls, and so on. That year he went to the pro bowl our offense was in the top 5 in the NFL. That year was so much fun!

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
