It’s not how many, it’s how it looks. 

if we’re losing, but I see some fire, passion, urgency, growth and he’s at least making NFL throws,  I’ll give him at least 8 games. 

If he looks like he doesn’t want to be there, No fire, no drive and his teammates still look like they don’t respect him? 3 games, max. It’ll be a ‘Bryce just needs some more time to develop’ type move. 

We need to at least get a fan base back again, draft be dammed. For us pick 4 vs 12 may not really matter all that much. I’ll sacrifice 8 draft spots to see watchable football again. Draft capital hasn’t done us much good up to this point anyway. We need winning. If a turd is a turd, flush it down. No one will come if the 2023 Bryce is under center. As hard as it is to come to grips with, we can at least win with Andy. Maybe even go .500. 2023 Bryce gives us no hope. 

I’m glad we never gave him that third game. 

How bad is it when we underestimate just how damn bad Bryce could play. We all expected to see at least something. 

I think we’ll pick at 8.

Top 5 easy

I could see that as well, especially if we can’t stay healthy at LB. But like I said, a top 5 I’m not sure really benefits us. I’d really rather go stud DE in the first round. Let him develop with Andy at QB where there is a chance of the other team playing from behind. 

Andy plays a key roll in developing talent on D with his ability to keep the offense rolling. It’s tough to learn anything when the other team is up 3 scores and they spend the entire second half running it down your throat.

I say I'm willing to give him the entire year, but if week 6 rolls around and he still looks absolutely cheeks I'll be ready to move on then and there.

Even Bryce's biggest detractors probably didn't see it going as poorly as it did. I am going to give myself credit for this one, even though he only lasted two games. He was worse than cheeks, so I was ready to move on sooner rather than later.

My mind was 95% certain he was not an NFL guy but I didn't have any idea that would be THAT horrible a second year. 

I was resigned to him being able to string us along and was also dreaming of the high pick after missing out this year. I said 17 games at the top of this, but also I figured I already knew and by 7 or 8 games it would be clear to everyone. Wanted to give him every benefit of the doubt so people would be able to see - time for the OL to get a groove and Brooks to be back and Legette to be worked in some. 

He is SO bad, poison on the field.

I figured about the same number of games and thought Canales would let him linger for Tepper show purposes.  Clad he threw in the towel early on the QB whisperer thing. Hard to fix broken.

Yes sir.

Broken, can I call it a factory second or something? A mini Cooper trying to do offroad. He is just a bad design with that tippy toe and the horrible footwork and the jumping and the whole. Man it's been ugg lee all the way. 

 

 

Anyway, peace.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
