I hate when y’all present the opinions of reporters like the statements of the coaching staff. poo I can guess too

whatever happens, this franchise needs Bryce to win because they have so many other deficiencies across this roster.

That is great and all but based on how Bryce looks....seems unlikely to happen, the best thing is to move on early versus letting it linger. 

Move on, invest into the roster as a whole Free Agency / Draft, and once the ''team'' is ready be in position to make a move for a QB. 

I'd take a Fields, he at least offers elite traits to build off of, or sign a vet to bridge the gap. 

I'd be interested in Milroe if he dropped to the bottom of the 1st in a trade up similar to how we got Legette. Let him sit a year and develop. While we would have still used our likely top 10 pick on a blue chip player, I'm also not against trading back in the first depending on  the options etc. We need a lot.

While I think we've seen some good stuff from Bryce, he's not looked like a No. 1 overall stud of a pick.  Bryce will have to be really good.  We've seen that...once?  Versus Green Bay last year?  Is it a matter of the play calling keeping Bryce hemmed in this season?   Or just him?  I'm not sure anymore.  

I mean, he's "looked" better, but compared to how he was playing, HOW much better is that?  This is at a time when a LOT of young QBs are struggling.  Playing QB in the NFL is hard, especially when defenses are set up to force you to go 8-12 plays each drive.  But that's why Bryce was drafted - he had the ability to play the mental chess versus opponents.  He's going to get a chance again, but if he looks overwhelmed again, back to Dalton.

So basically - if Bryce keeps the good play rolling, Canales has to keep the franchise defining trade in.  Even if it's barely good.  If Bryce comes out and turns the ball over 3x in three drives...then I think you have to pull him at that point.

Way to really go out on a limb Joe...

We've seen good stuff from Bryce?  When?  Other than Green Bay last year.

We've seen BY display the ability not to beat us by making bonehead errors.  We've seen that twice.  It's far from good, and far from consistent.  And the bottom line is, that capacity - even if it's consistent - is your baseline for a backup in the NFL.

It would be far better for the franchise if BY flipped a switch and became what a first overall pick should be.  Right now he's looking up at good backups and hoping to get there.

Let me caveat this by saying I don't think BY is the guy we want.

That being said, if he does become that guy, it won't be flipping a switch.  It will be gradual improvement (albeit with some setbacks) over the next few months and probably well into next year.  

And its going to require better play on the part of the guys catching the balls.  The receivers (especially Legette) need to do a better job hanging on to the ball when he does make a good throw.

I am completely uninterested in spending another first round pick on another project that is two or three years away from being two years away. 
 

That’s it neither the coaching staff or the GM was in charged when Bryce was drafted so who knows

Fields is just not an NFL starting QB. It's unlikely he will develop that capability. He is a massively limiting factor in the passing game because he does not see the field well at all. Arguably sees it worse than Bryce.

I'd say it's for sure he sees it worse than BY9.  Fields has every single physical tool you could ever want in a franchise QB, and I know that his development hasn't been good.  But he just doesn't see things.  Sam Darnold at least saw ghosts . . . Fields doesn't even see that.

I was high on Fields coming out, but he hasn't done anything yet to justify it and it doesn't look like he will.

    • I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though   
    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
