lol I’m just stating what reality is. AR IR, Levis already been hurt and back to the tent, Stroud missed 2 games. Cam was huge and had his career end early due to injuries. The ones like Brady and Brees that last long and mostly healthy always have good offensive lines. 

Physical limitations is a totally different conversation than durability. 

You're saying that BY has the same probability as any other QB of possibly being hurt. All I'm saying is that possibility could be higher when accounting for difference in size and the fact our OL is a complete dumpster fire. The OL was in no way shape or form ready to just drop any QB in. When you factor in how rare he is physically yes it looks even more dicey in retrospect.

Phsyical ability wise all the QB's you've mentioned may as well be in another universe within the pocket. That's the truth I'm having to jostle with right now. We gave up too much for this when accounting for all factors.

He's signed & developing under DeFilippo. The same QB coach who elevated Josh McCown, Mark Sanchez, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Nick Foles, Gardner Minshew, Josh Dobbs & Justin Fields over the past decade. He's working with Glass now. That's your update. Patience.

USFL?

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
