Hoping it's rookie issues and hoping that will improve some next season. 

He looks like TMJ 2.0 to me. Same guy, basically. And this is while being the second most targeted receiver on the season. By a VERY wide margin.

I definitely realize some of our offensive issues are impacting every aspect of the team but in the two games we have thrown for over 300 yards(SEA and GB) he has 4 rec for 40 yards. So it is almost always other guys finally getting off, not him(he was the 5th and 6th best WR in those two games). 

Furthermore, he has absolutely zero elite attributes. He barely has any that are NFL average. He was a workout warrior guy. Just like TMJ.

I hope he doesnt have TMJ's heart or edge about him. If he inherited TMJ's heart there will definitely be trouble. If he has heart and willing to put some work in all I can hope is that he improves.

I think the heart question has largely been answered. He quits on routes or gives lackadaisical effort on occasion. He isn't a TMJ level slug but he doesn't add anything that 100 other FA JAG's couldn't.

The biggest upgrade this offseason has to be at his position. Move him down to #4 or #5 and hope he develops by the end of his rookie deal.

Chark has been showing up the last few weeks and it really did seem to click yesterday. He's missed a couple grabs the last couple weeks but is overall looked great or at least so much better than early in the season. 

Well he has been hurt a lot of the year....which is not super surprising

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
