And that's the thing.

We keep getting reporters saying it's this guy or it's that guy when the reality Is that decision just has not been made yet.

They're ultimately just making educated guesses.

(some more educated than others)

Sure but the longer this goes on where we are getting similar comments that basically say it’s Bryce and it’s up to others to change their mind, the others have less and less chances to actually change their mind.

Does anyone know when the individual visits for the QBs are here? Once we get through them I imagine we’ll start hearing one name a lot more than the others.

Offers for #1 kicked into overdrive after the combine, you also had Derek Carr being considered at that time. Panthers said the trade was about controlling their destiny. They couldn't afford to wait.

I think it's more likely that they went into it liking Young and the combine added others to the conversation.

 

 

 

Possible, sure.  I don't think we were ever considering Carr at his market value though--Fitterer's stance about not going for LJ because QBs on market are expensive translates to pretty much any free agent

They're all upcoming. We likely won't get a date until closer to the actual day of the visits.

Feel bad for Chris 

He has really been through it the past few years 

That treatment for stage 4 throat cancer in January sure has taken a toll on him 

 

it is rough to watch him. i feel really bad for him but i'm glad he's still pushing and doing his thing.

He is my number 1, so color me excited. At the same time I won't be mad if the pivot to stroud. To me it's a win, win. I think as we have gotten closer to the draft the narrative has slowly switched to Bryce. Where ther is smoke there fire. 

 

Again it's a win/win, I'll be ordering the jersey no matter who it is.

Creation of the NFL Network definitely hurt the ESPN Insiders.

These days, the league is always going to give the best info to their in-house guys.

Same. Hate to see it.

He and John Clayton used to be the kings of insider info.

I know im not as old as you but man those two were pretty much staples of my Middle and High School years where I would turn it on and watch while doing my homework after football practice. 

Still a bit surreal.

He single handily lost the bull series with the best hornet team ever.  

Losing in the playoffs sucks.  But, like football, basketball is team sport. 

Hawkins missed the winning shot.  Jordan fouled him, no call.  Now with the scandal and investigations of what has happened in the NBA, its no surprise.

Yep, this happens every draft without a clear number 1. Once April rolls around it becomes obvious who the pick is. Congrats to the Bryce guys

Didn't happen last year until very late. Everyone thought Hutchinson would be the pick right up until the draft.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
