Anybody else think we are putting to much on Bryce's plate?

Sanders was in a great position for a RB last year with an awesome OL and QB who can run to draw the linebackers.    We will be a good test to see how good he truly is.

I would feel a whole lot better if we kept Foreman as well but he wanted   RB#1.     I would feel better knowing there is another RB there before we put Chuba-oops I dropped the ball again-Hubbard on the field.

Foreman frankly earned a ticket back to be the early down RB IMO.  But that's the NFL.  Who you know is going to matter a as roleplaying vet.  New staff was going to be bad news for dudes like him.

This is a padded practice which most simulates real life game action and As I said before.. it was never a question of too much for Bryce but actually not ENOUGH WEAPONS for Bryce I'm afraid he's being set up to fail by these inadequate weapons

Oh sure. And hey, it's not like it's too early to make this kind of judgment or anything 😕

If only our mediocre-at-best coaching staff would take your sage advice.

Chubba actually showed a lot of improvement from year 1 to last year on dropped passes. He was not bad last year.

I don’t think it’s about what is on his plate as much as people have too high of expectations of him his rookie season. Too many people are expecting him to have a 5000 yard 40+ TD rookie season and it’s not going to happen. You’re seeing that with some of these mixed results in training camp and people panicking over interceptions. I’ve already seen people on Twitter labeling him as a bust.

Bump! Trash O line and underwhelming WR options is just what I was referring too! So I ask again.. are we asking Bryce for too much? He's need more help. And did anybody get Rivera vibes when Frank said in the press conference that he wasn't being hit late?!? PROTECT THE STARTING QB EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK ITS LATE YOU SAY ITS LATE AND BEG FOR THE PENALTY AFTERWARDS!!

Did Bryce look overwhelmed to you today? He didn’t to me. It’s game one of the preseason. He’s a bright kid. He can handle all this.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
