Bryce’s Offseason Plans?

I'm honestly just not sure that it even matters. He can't do anything about his height and arm talent is largely natural. You can't coach height, you can't coach speed, you can't coach arm talent. It just is what it is. His best bet is to do what he can to improve his arm strength and work like hell to fix the dumpster fire that is his footwork.

Pretty sure he has processed in his brain that if he plants his feet properly to step into a pass in 60% of the situations he finds himself in, the ball will go directly into the back of his O-lines helmets or into the hands of the D-line. Same with the arm strength/vision after those 2 picks against Atlanta early in the season. Gotta be a reason he throws the ball away so often when he does get a chance to scramble

Well, Canales made it clear that's what he'll be told to do.  Plant his feet and let it rip.  If he can't do it we'll have 1 in 2025 and he's out.

Yeah, we'll see. I'm probably most interested in who they add as qb3 this offseason/camp lol. Dalton can win more games but what's the point? Take a gamble on late round guy/UDFA and actually give him reps

Most important thing for him to do is work on that god awful accuracy.

Nothing backs this statement up. You can say eye test, but every stat, analysis, chart and professional opinion I've seen says he's one of the most accurate passers in the league. I didn't watch every game, but the games I did see, your statement about hitting a barn sounds like hyperbole. Maybe you need glasses?

What I saw was someone who rarely hit his WRs in stride. They had to stop a lot to wait for the ball or do circus style catches. So that’s why I don’t consider him accurate at this point. Not sure how they actually measure accuracy as that doesn’t match up to what I see. But that is just my opinion, and maybe I’m completely wrong, who knows?

He needs to learn fundamental QB footwork, starting with how to do 3, 5, and 7 step drop backs. I can't believe we drafted a QB at 1 whose fundamentals are so paltry, but this is the situation we find ourselves in. 

to an extent, you can't really overly worry about that with Bryce.  At his size, he isn't going to be able to play textbook traditional QB in the NFL.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
