Sadly this is where I am. Was such a special player at Alabama. He’s not a guy that can carry an offense. He can be highly productive in a GOOD offense/scheme, but he’s not elevating a bad one. So yea like others have said, you didn’t have to give away your future for him. 

Right. I still think he can play in this league. And perhaps do well if he finds himself in a very fortunate situation. But being the guy we thought he could be, I'm out on that. I hate it too cause I really like the kid. I'll still be rooting that when the pieces are around him something is unlocked, but I'm no longer putting all my eggs in that basket.

He is certainly missing some transistors and diodes in that processor  at this point. Clearly failed the “most nfl ready, safest bet” mantra, so he is indeed at bust based on that, but he may be the guy it takes 2,3,4 years before it starts to click.

Sadly all of the Panther’s eggs are in that basket

We need to josh Rosen this kid asap.  It's the quickest way

I was reasonably impressed by Bryce's composure. Bad decisions, sure, some bad throws. But actual flashes, which is what I wanted to see all year.

Just throw this team into under-center looks for the last chunk of the season and focus on what worked today instead of the pistol nonsense that hasn't worked all year.

Uh the Commanders have good WRs. This a bad take 

They have better than us lol, but no ... their corps is very average. Now you can blame their production on Ron or Howell ... but that's the base of all these arguments on this board. Mingo would probably be killing it in Houston. The Commanders corps would be beyond lousy here.

This is also the opponent Stroud torched for 550, so any flashes are tempered. He had some pitiful downfield throws that aren’t even nfl-backup caliber

Mingo wouldn’t see the field in Houston. He had a good game today, but he still doesn’t have a good feel for where he is on the field.

If this was the 1st or 2nd game I’d agree with you. And maybe this is the 1st game minus Frank and that’s how it should be viewed. Idk man this game was his to grab a hold of and I just don’t see the same clutch and confident guy I watched at Alabama.

You got to theow money at him anyway.

No you don't, it will just be wasting our time when we could spend it on someone more realistic.

Evans is either staying in TB or going somewhere to try and chase another ring, he's not just going to sign with the highest bidder.

I dont know if its fair to expect the same guy we saw at Alabama.  Not yet anyway.  Its so much easier to be the QB at Alabama.
