It’s beyond time to bench Bryce.

For those who watched Bryce at Bama, how was he able to be so successful with arm talent this limited? There is zero zip on his throws right now.

The receivers usually had 3-4 yards of separation and the OL gave him time. People talk about Bama being "down" his final year, but a down Bama is still a top 10 college roster. This narrative that Bryce was making chicken salad out of chicken poo at ALA-fuging-BAMA was always absurd.

The off script stuff he was able to pull off at Bama only worked because of the lesser talent at the collegiate level. Stuff that would fly over the out reached finger tips of college defenders is either deflected or intercepted in the NFL.

That kind of stuff doesn’t fly in the NFL when every position is manned by freak athletes. Patrick Mahomes can only pull off the stuff he does because he has a fuging cannon for an arm.

It was true but he was't the chicken salad...

Hes a fuging bust. Dont know how much more people have to see of him to realize this.

Look at Milroe this year. Bama fans were screaming he sucked and this years bama team wasn’t that great. Now those same fans are clamoring he deserves the Heisman.

fug Saban, Alabama, and their QBs. That system has and never will translate to the NFL. Saban and 99% of his QBs sucked in the NFL.

Bryce should have never been the starter. He was never ready. This was all about playing Bryce, not about winning. Unfortunately, Dalton has always been our best option, such as it is. This is about Tepper and being in control. He and Nicole drafted BY, and he can't look like he doesn't know what he's doing. Except for everyone watching knows.

I’m over it. Move on to the next HC/GM/QB combo

Everyone did… Every NFL model flagged him but some how Mr analytics just lacked analytics.

I didnt. I knew he wasnt it and wanted Stroud the whole time. I knew Bryces limitations and that it wouldnt work.

It's time to cut ties with this no talent adolescent.  This has already went down as the biggest draft mistake of alltime. Just let him go and draft a new one in the 2nd rd. No need to waste time on someone not remotely capable. 

[KSpan]

He just doesn't operate - process, if you will - at NFL speed at this point and doesn't have the arm strength to make up fractions of a second. Not a winning combination.

Yea, Bryce is cooked.  My 10 year old can throw further than Bryce. Sad!

If he's not ready it's because he's never gonna be ready. It's not like he was some raw talent upside pick. His draft value was based on being a plug and play super processor while the knock on him was that he might already be at his physical ceiling based on his talent.

I just don't understand how folks can see it elsewhere, but ignore it at Bama. Guys like Stetson Bennett and Jake Fromm are seen for what they are - really good college QBs who probably won't translate to the NFL and are largely products of the surrounding talent and systems. Yet with Bryce folks convinced themselves that this 5'10" noodle arm was making chicken salad out of chicken poo at Alabama like he was playing at ECU or something. GTFO of here. This dude fooled everyone.

Well, he didn't fool me. I took a lot of heat last off-season for warning that this guy has marginal NFL physical talent.
