David Carr syndrome

I don’t think he looks shell shocked or panicky, he just hasn’t played well

I kinda disagree. I think that he hasn't looked panicky, but I think that he has most certainly looked "frenetic" when under pressure at times. It's mainly when the pocket breaks down immediately. On a couple of occasions, he started abandoning the pocket before he really had to, probably because they were getting to him pretty good. In that respect, I see some cracks.

He needs to play all of this year and the next year so we can be absolutely certain he’s a bust before we draft number one again.

I hear you but I will take a different approach. We need to sit him to find out if the rest of the offense has anything to keep. As an example- All of us thought the O-Line was legit going into this season. Now- they look terrible. Is it Young making them look bad? I would like to see Dalton play just to see how the line looks.

No. Figuring out if Bryce is a bust is the number one priority. We can’t do that unless our superprocessor is on the field

LOL- Superprocessor. I want to believe he is the answer but I have a lot doubt. I was always concerned about his size even before he was the Panthers pick.

 @frankw said it best if we have to coddle Bryce mentally we've already lost. That was the whole point of drafting the dude.

 

I never bought the "soft benching" theory after he hurt his ankle because of that.  There wasn't even a whisper of a knock on him mentally during the scouting process. 

It's played out here as he gotten turned into a meat crayon in the pocket over and over.  He just jumps back up and gets back to the line.

Yeah, he is showing signs of early onset David Carr Battered QB Syndrome(DCBQS).

It’s all cumulative.  He is moving on from reads too quickly, partly because he doesn’t trust his line.  Receivers are not challenging defenders and give up on routes often.
 

 There is no sense of fire or urgency.  We desperately need a run game to take the pressure off Bryce until he can settle down and be comfortable.

I really think we should play Andy. Make clear to the media, it's not Bryce's fault and we aren't giving up on him. But these are clearly not the weapons to help Bryce thrive. Dalton might actually be able to throw to Chark, TMJ and, of course, Thielen...because of his style as a passer.

Then, in the off season, we find weapons more suited to Bryce's style.

    • It is.  Even the mid to late round guys are super appealing and would have been ahead of Trevin in his drafft.  Deontae Lawson - just look his stuff up, lot's to like Jimmy Rolder - absolute force.  Limited sample size but the sample is pretty dope.  (one of my favorite sleepers) Keyshaun Elliott - stud run defender, great size/length, is always wrapping plays up, high IQ.  Even this dude Owen Heinecke is an interesting guy.  Not some dog in the middle but will absolutely be an asset for particular teams (I.E. Minny would be an awesome fit)    
    • It's not explicitly saying it, it's suggesting that we draft a certain position, regardless if the receiver has the higher grade.  We would never had made the playoffs without T-mac. Morgan did the absolutely right thing, and that's what I hope he continues to do in the draft, which is follow the board and draft impact players. He used free agency to set up the draft for just that purpose. For anyone that thinks last season was anything but an improvement, I don't know what to tell 'em.  The goal is to keep the momentum going, and I'd say that addressing our three biggest needs with arguably the best players at their respective positions this free agency, and legit quality players to boot, goes along way toward building the foundation of long term success. Before free agency, no one was picking us to win the division, now more than a few analysts are, and that's before the draft. Pull your bootstraps up where you are and get to work. We aren't as good as we need to be, but the needle is moving in the right direction.  
    • The Bengals absolutely fuged up paying Higgins elite WR money. You can't have your QB and two WRs eating up your whole cap or you end up with... well, the Bengals. Your QB is getting killed because your OL is trash and you can't stop anybody because your D is trash because you can't afford a balanced roster. Unless you're smacking it out of the park in the draft you're gonna be hard pressed to put a good team on the field despite an elite QB and WRs.
