And ironically he was too small to play QB...and iirc Armanti looked bigger than Bryce does currently. 

Still an awesome college player. 

 

By the time he got the NFL, yeah he was bigger than Bryce , but I was at App when AE was and dude was tiny his first 2 years there. He worked at it though. Remains to be seen if Bryce does

I still don't know why we traded up for him without any idea of how to use him.  I would have loved to given him a chance at QB for 3 or 4 games and see what happened.  

Foxy never had any desire to play or use him. He was legitimately pretty good at wideout in the CFL, had a solid career there. He could have been Curtis Samuel before Curtis Samuel, really. Have him return kicks, run, receive, pass - so much potential

They look about the same.  Armanti a little taller Bryce with that fake weight got him by a few pounds

Sadly he was overdrafted as a wildcat qb, before everybody learned wildcat doesn't work.

Imagine had he entered NFL today as a late pick, with no expectations, to a team with a creative OC. There is no reason not to think he would have had a solid NFL career as a gadget option.

Same. I was there for all three championships. Those were some fun years.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
