He wouldn't be starting if Shaq and Josey weren't out with injuries. You are expecting too much from a 3rd round rookie that was forced to start 5 games into his first season.

Well yeah. The hope was he would be worked in and be able to play if needed, etc. I know it is ahead of schedule for the green dot hat. 

One reason our d is so bad though is the middle guys weren't really a strength to start with and they both went at the same time.

I mean if he’s cheap and wants to stay I guess resign him, but I’m fully in the don’t draft RBs high and don’t give them big second contracts camp. Shelf life is so short for RBs and you can literally find serviceable backs in late rounds and FA for dirt cheap

A.  Why in the fug would he resign here

 

B  quit giving rbs 2nd contracts 

 

This isn't hard

I don't think he'll command that much money.  If we can get him for a couple million a year and have this position locked up for the next several years, why wouldn't we do this.

Anyone other than a rookie.  

Jewell looks like he is healthy again.  He would make sense.  He played under Evero for several years in Denver so he should be familiar with it.  It will also help Wallace to have a veteran like him playing beside him.

you are missing the point, if he is only going to cost 2 million why in the fug would he sign here?

No, I'm not missing the point.  Players almost always have a preference for the team that drafted them as long as the money is comparable.

Players do not give discounts as long as they can do better elsewhere. That's a fan idea that never happens.

Agree and my comment was why would he leave a sure thing if the money is comparable.  I don't think there will be a many teams that won't to pay him a big contract but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
