“Most improved player on the roster this year”

Those were the words from Kevin Donley (former Panther OL and current sideline reporter) when talking about Brady Christensen.  Just now on Kyle Bailey’s afternoon show on WFNZ.

Also seems to really like Ikem.  Really glowed talking about Ikem and Christensen lined up beside each other at LT and LG.

 

 

 

 

- lastly was watching ESPN this afternoon.  And one of their shows was really digging into the Bears awful OL.  Then they showed a stat from last year.  And Browns OL last year gave up the 2nd or 3rd highest pressure pct only ahead of the Bears last year (yes even worst than our statistically).  So much for the idea that the Browns had this superstar team and Baker held them back last year.  Dude set rookie records year 1, top 10 QB year 2, hurt playing on an overrated roster year 3.

This is great to hear.  If LT and LG are shored up, it just makes things very smooth for everyone whether we have to rebuild, retool, or continue whatever we're doing with Rhule.

The one big IF is if Baker clicks, we're suddenly a head coach and 2 playmakers (Offensive skill & DL) away from contending.

We're stepping close to being respectable again.

Yeah if we can get some protection on the blind side any QB back there will have an easier season....

If all your assumptions pan out I think it’s just DL. We have elite offensive skill weapons. CMC and DJ are as good RB/WR1 combo you’ll find in the NFL and Robbie is a legit 2

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
