You aren't going all in on an anomaly QB.....when you are just inserting him into standard NFL offenses.  

Unique QBs require teams to be unique on offense. 

Being not good enough isn't unique or an anomaly. Cam and Jackson are unique. Murray and Tua are anomalies, good enough with their talent to stick around but not coming close to a SB regardless of the talent levels around them. 

They have no decent option B this year again. If he craters then having what they are asking him to do at the minimum would be great. It wouldn't save the season but they could at least build something basic around the other guys. Hell maybe some players could improve in that situation.

being the smallest QB since the 40s makes you an anomaly in the NFL.  Especially paired with a meh arm.

5'10" is the bottom of the scale for sure but not an anomaly at this point. Murray reset the standards for a 5'10" QB being drafted in the 1st (by 1" from a SB winning QB not taken in the 1st) so it's more of a standard deviation at this point. I have no idea on the weight stuff because it's all so fudged and is not really what is limiting him at this time vs the height/arm/legs combo.

IDK, I don't see enough with Bryce to call him an anomaly. He just looks like he was built to fail in the NFL. Even high QB picks busting isn't abnormal.

Murray is/was lightning quick and very elusive, Bryce moves like Tom Brady in comparison. 

Murray also has a huge arm.

The only comparable traits between he and Bryce are height/weight

Yeah on the skill side it's obvious in the differences in ability. He even has a good 20 to 15 lbs on Bryce by the eye test. He was also the first 5'10" QB drafted in the 1st since the 60s.

I don't think there is a way to quantify how Byce matches up skill wise to other 1st round QBs but it looks towards the bottom.

I have to say, Murray seems unlikable to me, and Young doesn’t. I believe (right or wrong) that Young will watch film without being forced to, and probably understand it a little better too. 

Despite his physical superiority head to head I wouldn’t want Murray either, but if you are going to pick that size player go with the best tool set. Arm, speed, thicker build, all go Murray. I would pass on him too though.

ive said this about tepper, same going back to rhule. They're great dudes on a social level. Who wouldn't go fishing with Matt Rhule? You know that poo would be fun af. Tepper can run a hedge fund, be a good boss, all that, but both things are true: Stay the hell out of NFL football.

“Doubling down” would be giving him a new contract when the time comes. Giving him a second year isn’t doubling down, it’s not being stupid. Even I, who always wanted Stroud and see nothing of value in Bryce, still want Bryce to get another shot this year. Worst case scenario is also the best case scenario: he gets us a high enough pick to take his replacement. 

Worst case scenario is he is just good enough to keep us back at mediocrity until we do another massive trade that sets us back for a #1 pick

I've had a ton of interactions, all really cool to basic hellos. I've joked with him, talked music, I had to hold his phone while he did an interview, he once came behind me (while I was working) and rubbed my head to simply saying hello in passing, etc. I've never had a bad interaction with him and Nicole is amazing, always saying hello, giving hugs, just a genuinely nice person. I believe Mr. Tepper is super smart, knows what he wants and is struggling to get there (not all his fault - players play and coaches coach too). Football is not basic business. The ebb and flow of a game, the ref calls, the way the football bounces, to injuries, etc all play into winning and losing. It's not just the owner but all eyes are on him everyday. Unfortunately, people judge and have opinions, right or wrong. I really believe he just wants to win and be a hero to the city. I am a fan of the Teppers, even if it's not the popular opinion.

He could’ve been a hero by not forcing the team to draft Bryce young.

I’m not sure Bryce is even 5’10. However I do think the height aspect is slightly overrated in today’s game. Especially if you consider that linemen are a lot shorter when they are in their stance.

I'm not a fan so far but Bryce proved himself as a reasonably tough runner last season

Reasonably tough, but no where near Kyler's level. No one is game planning to stop Bryce as a runner. 

Murray is like Mike Vick lite.

Bryce scrambles like Teddy B

I have no idea how they could fake the height like they do with the weight but if you figure that out Im listening, he doesn't look 5'10" to me either.

His height is an issue because he doesn't have the wheels to escape and make room to throw like Murray. What he can't see during plays is the issue and it shows on film. The 2 first interceptions prove this and showed how bad the entire thing really was.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
