Can't coddle a first overall pick you mortgaged significant assets for because you're afraid he might get hurt or he might go into a shell. If he can't at least hang with the big boys now it was a waste of a trade.

Eh, the pick is spent at this point and if he needs a bit of seasoning then that's just the reality. Pretty clear that Bryce's play is a weakness right now, though that doesn't mean it will be forever.

Dalton probably can’t start a full season but I think it’s clear Bryce isn’t ready if he ever will be. 

Bryce will be fine, but let's ease him back into this.  If that takes a few games of half the season.  We were on the verge of David Carr-ing him.  Let's not wreck his career before it really even starts.

If he needs a bit of seasoning then we might as well have stayed put and just drafted Will Levis if we are just going to throw away picks. You don't play these games at number one. You either take the best pure passer or you don't make the move.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
