He was a big guy who played small.

Yes small in the way of not high pointing balls and boxing out guys. Not small in the way of taking shots. Dude got his jaw broken and finished the playoff game. Not to mention playing with broken ribs one season as well.

Crazy how all receivers that left Cam never produced again 

That's because Cam was making them better. Rivera was a terrible coach for a Star like Cam. If we would have fired Rivera and hired Andy Reid we would have had multiple SB and probably Patrick Mahomes right now.

Gonna go as well as Greg Hardys MMA career

Greg Hardy could have been a mainstay on the UFC roster but just had the most unusual series of mishaps: DQ from an inhaler use (dumb cornermen), DQ for kneeing or kicking a downed opponent (inexperienced fighter), and comeback KO losses.

Ah yes, the everyday 28 year old breaking into the NBA. 

Hope nobody throws him an alley-oop, he'll lose the ball in the lights. 

The gall.  The odds of making it professionally to one sport are astronomical.  The odds have sucking at two of them professionally are even slimmer.

And dude is just sloppy.  Everything in that video suggests a guy who hasn't put in work, but instead likes to just get out there every now and then and screw around.  He looks slow-footed (just like on the football field), heavy-footed, and thick in the limbs and trunk...  very few guys with that profile at 6'5" make it to the NBA, with the rare exception being a guy like James Harden, who actually excelled because he refined his moves so much that the league hadn't seen anyone move like that before and had to change rules because of it.  And to Harden's credit, despite not being considered much of an athlete coming into the league, he looks like the fuging Flash compared to Funchess.  poo is a joke and an insult to guys that actually live the game for a living...  but I expect no less from Funch's sorry ass.

    • 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
