Lots of people have given up on him but he can turn this around.  He wasn’t the consensus #1 pick for no reason.  We aren’t ruined by any means.  We need to hire the right GM and coach and build 1 player at a time.  Will take a while though 

I've never seen a player make so many people fall in love so much with the person and the narrative that they completely ignore all the massive red flags flying high.

We need to move off the pick in the offseason.

Bring in a FA QB and look to start the rebuild in the Draft. 

There is no reason to do anything but go with Bryce next season.  If he doesn’t improve we will be almost certainly up to bat again in the 2025 draft looking for a QB.  Not all hope is lost by any means

Lol. You know we are one season removed from Sam Darnold, right? That was by far and is still the most insane sell job I have ever seen on this fanbase. Some of these idiots still think he is an NFL QB.

You will lose the fan base if you pick in the Top 5 again. It's clearly already on the precipice.

We should all be feeling a little hyped up by watching this game. It is possible to turn things around quickly if the right people are in the right spots, and drafts are productive. This Texans team was terrible last season. Here they are winning a division, a home playoff game, and hanging 38 points on the #1 defense. All with a rookie qb and a rookie defense-minded coach. Maybe it won't be years and years for our triumphant return. I'm sure Tepper is watching.

They didn’t win it the 13-4 season before or after. It takes a team. Once you’re in the SB, as a defender you know you need to step up unless you want to face Brady’s wrath because you know he’s not going to choke 

Funny. That the didn’t poo with crab legs but with the same team the win a superb owl. It takes a team but the QB is the most important position in sports. The quality wb okay spreads to the whole team in confidence

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
