I'll take nine to ten years of good QB play and worry about trying to find the next one once he says he's thinking of hanging it up. 

I really like everything about his game i've seen. Great footwork, comfortable in the pocket, looks like he can make reads, can run it if needed but doesn't default to that like some other guys. I can't come up with a knock besides his age which still gives you an 8-10 year window if he does work out

8-10 years is the ceiling.  Many QBs go well past 35 if they play well.  Brady, Brees and Rodgers just to name a few.  Like someone mentioned before.  I'd take 8-10 years of good QB play.  Hell right now I'd take 5 good years.

a lot of help reading the defense

Explain this?  Who's giving him help reading the defense.  Who's your choice at QB?  Usually when someone comes up with a statement like this, they are grasping for things to find wrong with a player so they can have the QB they want. 

I watched most of the game.  Hooker wore out a top 3 team.  52 points against a team that is expected to compete for a National Title.  It's not like he managed the game.  He moved them roughly 40 yards into FG range is 16 seconds.

Please continue to nitpick.

The WR’s are placed wide, outside the numbers to limit numbers in the box. Easier to read the defense and a lot of open ground if you make it past the DL. 

The WR are harder to double when outside the numbers. I think all the open ground makes it easier on the WR to break into the open ground just outside the TE

Did you ever consider this might be the OCs call because of film study?  If your opinion is this, is the only way to help a QB why doesn't everyone use it?  

With this type of offense, it also opens up to relying on your offensive line to protect you.  Meaning the QB has to have the discipline to stand up in the pocket and make the throws.  The QB has to know the routes and coverage and who is most likely to be in single coverage.  There probably is more reading to do than a traditional offense.

It's a weak argument but, like I said earlier I think you have a preferred QB and don't want anyone to screw it up so you nitpick his skills.  

He may not be a perfect QB but IMO his performance yesterday opened a lot of eyes and he'll start to be in the conversation of a 1st round QB.

I think people are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about his age. It's less about the possible length of his career, and more about how much more he can improve from where he is. He's older, which could mean he is closer to his ceiling than someone younger would be.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
