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."

    • I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).  
    • If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
