The situation last year wasn’t bad 100% of the time though. There are so many plays last year that were similar to this year where Bryce simply didn’t throw the damn ball. Dalton did the same thing in Seattle last year as he did in LV this year. He proved it wasn’t as bad as Bryce made it seem

I think both Bryce and Caleb Williams are so used to hanging back there in the pocket for so long that the speed of the NFL game is really going to take some serious time to adjust to. 

The problem for Bryce though is that he lacks the physical tools whereas Caleb doesn’t. That ball Dalton threw to Thielen isn’t a pass Bryce would ever attempt in a million years and that’s the problem 

 

I'd argue that there were a LOT more moments of the team around him being bad. I don't think there is any valid debate to that given the metrics we have seen regarding pressure, separation, etc. Common sense alone shows that the offensive-side of the roster has been upgraded (6th/7th string starting guards to top 5 + starting calibre, add Diontae + XL).

Dalton went out there and lost against Seattle with the same bad team that Bryce was only able to limp to 2 wins with. This roster though? I can't take any talking head seriously that acts like it's the same offense that got marched out last year. That's just a lazy attempt by some of these sports media folks at getting outrage engagement.

Yah I agree there was obviously a lot more bad last year but Dalton throwing for 361 really should’ve raised more alarms after it happened.

Bryce honestly should’ve sat from that point on last year

Totally agree on both of those points. At the very least, they should have been more willing to sit him sooner seeing how much more competent Dalton looked.

After the high school cafeteria drama we heard with last year's staff though I'm surprised that guys made it through the season without setting the locker room on fire.

Yeah, 2023 showed in week three. Here we are with the do over, the right way  

The problem was that Dalton would not have lasted with that OL. He is even less mobile. Bryce would have been right back in.  
 

How was Bryce worse in 2024 than 0, 0 to finish the year in 2023? 
I am going to say because in 2024 he got the protection to show it IS him. 

I believe he was actually better looking than any time ever outside of a few plays, in the Buffalo preseason series. Had his footwork squared away too. Look real good. For him, the best. Ball came out and flew much better. 
 

Failure sucks. And he has never failed. And he knows now that he will never be able to do what Dalton showed him on Sunday. Up close, with his team.
It was the biggest night and day since Jake came in for Rodney his first game. Much wider gap. 
So, we’ll see what the future holds. 
 

He simply can’t make the throws consistenty at this level.

There are a lot of folks who quit the forum because of what they perceived as Bryce bashing who would be quite upset that TD has called them out for being brainwashed by the media carrying water for a prospect they were all wrong about and bashing the whole team to make excuses for a QB who was failing miserably on the job.

It wasn't the the W-L with Dalton in Seattle. It was the point his presence on the field made. 

That point proved what we had seen the first two games and would see the remainder of the year. 

He can run an NFL offense, has the arm to do it and it looks like what we expect to see.

The fact that it wasn't a great offense and that was getting hit with all those drop backs, was not important because as we have seen this year, that can be improved. And you put that with an NFL QB and look what you get. 

It was plain. Yet we had to suffer all season with garbage QB play, because people imagined things, to be honest about it. Bryce will never make the throws Dalton can. Which means, he can't make (enough of the) NFL throws. 

I swear I swear I swear....

Rex Ryan and Teddy Bruschi need to be freaking fired. If they would have said those things about someone in their club.... well they won't because they don't have the balls.

 

I am sad that Thomas has to 'stretch the truth' about Bryce in order to get cover for speaking his mind. 

Rex Ryan has zero room to talk. His tenure as a head coach was a disaster and that's being nice.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄

      I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
