It’s beyond time to bench Bryce.

I'm nearing a breaking point.

For a new QB, I can be sold that it could take some time.  You may only see flashes here and there, but it is not happening at any moment.  You can count with your own 2 hands, after 11.5 games, how many passes of his 366 throws this season have been even mildly highlight-worthy.  

And add on that this is the prospect that we traded the barn for?  That's what gets me.  I would be upset if this was even a 2nd or high 3rd.  It is beyond concerning.  Beyond.  

Physical constraints up the wazoo and nothing to show for.  All of these other crap teams with rookies are giving their dudes just as little time in the pocket. They really are. This is not some death gap we have.  

The Titans in particular have had a really big issue with the OL, an older Hopkins the only option, problems all over.   Heck, the Raiders OL has been pretty bad with an iffy running game and O'Connell has been pushing downfield really well.  The only rookie QB who has looked worse is Clayton Tune.  

Yes, the team is poorly built, but you have to be able to see SOMETHING.  Anything.  There is just nothing to show for from the #1 overall draft pick we traded way too much for.  

It's becoming such a bad situation.

He needs to keep playing. See how he does the rest of the way with a coach who actually moves on the sidelines and shows some interest in the game. I am no Bryce supporter but I certainly wouldnt write him off just yet either. He needs to be playing to see if he shows any signs of improvement at all from beginning to end of season

 I certainly wouldn't be crushed if the team made the decision to bring in another QB in 2024. That said, it's not all on Bryce.

The announcers have pointed out several times that the receivers are not getting separation and too many routes simply have them running 10 yards down field and turning around. The big play to Mingo on the 3rd down TD drive was one of the few routes that showed some imagination.  

We need a new passing philosophy and better route concepts.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
