It's almost like he's currently embroiled in a legal dispute and his mind his elsewhere.

If he's there in the second round you run to the podium. 

So..... what you're saying is that you want to draft a guy who is showing he can't get ready for the most important job interview of his life because he's too distracted by other things in his life.

And you want to go out and give him millions of dollars and expect him to then be able to keep his mind focused on football at that point?

Yea.... hard pass

I'd think he's a psychopath if he can go out there and perform at 100% when he's being investigated for a car crash that killed someone.

Each to their own though.

There is a huge difference between performing at 100% and being so out of shape that you literally can't finish the drills.  If he was just a bit sloppy out there and his times weren't great, sure, you could blame that on what's going on around him.

But putting on almost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, knowing what is at stake, and then being THAT out of shape, that's extreme.

I'm also someone who absolutely would fall apart mentally in his situation, so I'm not bashing him for that.  But if I was in his situation, with his NFL career on the line, I'd at least be in shape enough to finish the drills and/or be aware enough that I wouldn't be able to finish them and would come up with some other excuse as to why I couldn't work out.  Say you pulled a hamstring or twisted your ankle a few days ago in training, that's way better than not being able to finish the workout.

Y’all are crazy. Take the man in the second round, if he’s there (which he won’t be). Do you know how easy it is to put on 9 pounds when you’re that big? The man has a lot going on, and with his tape, he doesn’t need to do anything but get medically examined. 
 

Some guys are just so good they can just turn it in when they want. Jalen Carter is I don’t have to work hard good.

multiple front defense with D. Brown and Burns and you all are too good to add the best D Lineman to come out in a decade. Pffffft

    • 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
