Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?


Recommended Posts

Honestly, no. I hope I'm wrong about that, I just didn't see the required prerequisite talent on the field last year. I just hope for boom or bust. Go out there and prove me wrong and show a ton of promise. That would be by far the best thing. But if not that, just completely suck again and make it obvious we fuged up and we need to move on.

Yes, I do. You’ll see a much better performance this year. The following year he will be a top half of the league QB. Not sure what his ceiling will be, but he will a least be an average to above average starter. 

Average starter would be the worst case scenario IMO. Outside of building a Niners type overall roster that means purgatory.

Average to above average QB play has not happened here since around 2018. It would be a welcome improvement.

I was expecting him to struggle like most rookies do. But I expected to see a game or two that showcased why we picked him 1st overall. 
Cam had a few games his rookie season. Bryce had zero. 
Yeah, the Packers game was cool but the Packers defense made any QB they faced look like Payton Manning.

I realize Peyton Manning’s first year is the classic example but…

Trevor Lawrence, Kyler Murray, Jared Goff, and Jalen Hurts are “good” not great QB’s right now.  And they’ve been around and are getting PAID.

It takes time, you have to develop an NFL QB.

Payton Manning was also a prototypical QB and he still had moments that made you realize he is gonna be good. 
Bryce has zero last year.

Check out the first year for John Elway--Terry Bradshaw--both had situations similar to what we have here.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
