It’s beyond time to bench Bryce.

Some people need to chill. Scheme and coaching go a long way. Right now, our situation sucks, point blank. Bryce can be a decent player. Is he a world beater? Who knows. However, athletically and skill-wise there’s no way Purdy is more talented. However, the scheme and coaching are good. The real question is can this organization put him in a position to have success.

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.

Bama would not have beaten Georgia yesterday with Bryce. He’s always been limited.

I think his ceiling is probably Chad Pennington or Alex Smith at this point, yeah. And that's generous. He did have some flashes today at least.

I can definitely see that. I do think he’s more of a game manager. Now, is that worthy of the #1 pick? My opinion was no, but I haven’t seen him with competent coaching and scheme either.

The Bryce experiment is finished. He will start next year and barring a friggin intervention from God he will be gone in 25. The only reason he has not been benched is because Tepper sold the farm for the #1 pick and is forcing him out there. 

This ^^^

This is the first game I've been genuinely infuriated by scheming. Under-the-center worked all day. Pistol did not work at all, but they kept going to it. There was zero faith in Chubba despite him balling out. Literally just run the ball with Chubba under center, the Bucs couldn't stop it all day - it's not that hard.

Maye can’t even beat NCState. Give me a break. 

NC State has defeated a number of good NFL QBs. They're never good enough to compete nationally or even for the acc title, but they are good enough to absolutely surprise a team or two almost every year. Maye is 6'4" with a cannon. He's gonna be good on Sundays.

His flashes were still less than perfect balls.  I would consider flashes 'ideal' passes, but too few in number.  Flashes for Bryce are balls that could be prefect and happen to work, but could be better.  The double move Chark had today is a perfect example. The DB was beat, period and while it was a completion for a big gain, a perfectly thrown ball has Chark waltzing in the end zone.  As it was, the ball was under thrown. Chark had to slow down and turn around  with the ball going out of the field of play instead leading his man in stride.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
