I think its a myth of developing a 3rd string guy into a nfl starter.  I'm sure its happened at some point but on the whole its not commonplace

It's not a myth, but yes it's been phased out as a common practice. Teams like to carry an extra STs guy now (for reasons that baffle me) rather than a developmental guy at the most important position in all of sports.

a 3rd string qb is quite literally not getting any reps in practice during the season, not sure how one is supposed to develop.  Maybe on the PS but even then its just a long shot for them to develop into anything.  Looking over the starting qbs and their backups and I am not seeing anything remotely close to what MC might become

They do get reps…. They are the scout team qb. The diffference is that they run the opponents system week to week and not the playbook of their own team. 
 

person talked about MC playing that role for us this year in his athletic article

Yep.  By reps I mean the game planning and running our offense.   For whatever reason qbs are not being "developed" long term any more.  If MC makes the ps without being snatched then so be it.  I really dont see him moving the needle at all for this franchise.  In 2023 if it got to a point where he is starting then the bears are laughing their asses off at us.

 

For like the 100th time I will say it, rhule fuged this kid royally.  He should have been made #2 from the jump and then we could have seen hopefully some progression.   But now he just got fuged and I doubt he ever plays a meaningful snap for us.  Wasted pick(s)

Damn right, Rhule seriously screwed him. Was that goof ball proficient at anything at all other than making piss poor decisions?

    • 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
