Yep, as others have alluded to, as long as GMs keep giving out more and more money (in all 5 major sports), the more and more players are going to ask for. Hell, we're already paying college kids for the use of their image and may even treat them as employees soon. It's just going to get more and more insane. You need to put a lid on it eventually. We WILL have a billion dollar salary in our lifetime.

The dude had some duds with us last year (Bucs game), but he also had some really great games. If you show up great on tape.. franchises see opportunity. I mean look at what CJ did with our last coaching staff... now put a competent staff in place for him and we could be eating our words.

I totally understand the humor around this thread, but at the same time... it can be just as quickly seen as a short sighted view.

His development crew has been the elite Urban Meyer, the OOU god himself Matt Rhule, and then the interim Steve Wilks. That's not exactly a who's who. I'm not saying he'll get any better or not, but that is a serious shortfall in NFL coaching right there.

For me, the penalty issues early in the season…didn’t worry me because that’s coachable. He would have stellar coverage and just panic and tackle the dude. 
 

…what bummed me out was giving up on plays against Tampa, in a must win game. 
 

Not sure how coachable that is. 
 

I just haven’t been able to stick my neck out defending him after that. Elite athlete or not.

I've seen Henderson with great coverage and I've seen him get torched.

I was hoping he would pan out, but he isn't consistent enough to be a #2CB and I don't want to pay #2CB money for him.

I almost like him better as a safety, but I am not sure how quickly he could pick up the nuances to be a good one.

CJ hasn't given me much hope in the short time he's been with us, but let's remember his welcome to the NFL has been Urban Meyer and Matt Rhule....he's got a year to earn another contract, with us or someone else.

What I saw on the field was all on him regardless of who his coach was. Seemingly giving up on plays when he got beat.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
