1st round pick on what's likely a one year rental??

Don't think most teams make that move.

Smart teams probably don't.

It's been said that the Jets brass don't necessarily want that either, but team owner Woody Johnson does.

Johnson is the same guy who kept Rex Ryan around as head coach because he liked his big talking personality.

That was kind of my thought too. He's done some things that to a casual fan scream he's an ass. 

That's literally one of the reasons he dropped in the draft.  The 49ers were deciding between Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers with the #1 overall pick.  After meeting Rodgers the choice became clear it wouldn't be him, because he came off as an arrogant dik and they couldn't see a guy like that leading the franchise.  That's from Mike Nolan (head coach back then) and Mike McCarthy (the OC at the time for the 49ers).

"The other thing as Alex at the time was a good kid -- a very good person, a safe choice, always trying to please," former 49ers coach Mike Nolan said Tuesday morning on NFL HQ. "On the other hand, Aaron was very cocky, very confident, arrogant."

      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
