Bryce's numbers were pretty similar to all the rest of the good qbs they've played. Check lamar, burrow, and Allen against them 

As usual, stats lie. O connel may have more yards and tds but everything I've seen him throw has been within 5 yards of the line or a check down. Doesn't pass the eye test. Still. Again.

Kansas might not be that good of a team. They have just been really lucky this season  

Last 6 weeks or so they haven’t been a good football team…and Bryce was probably under what they average QB against them has been during that bad stretch

Raiders took the lead on a 58 yard TD that was almost all air yards.   I don’t think Bryce has that type throw logged for a score in his entire NFL career

Yeah, I'm still not sold but his anticipation is light years ahead of where it was before he got benched. He put the ball exactly where it needed to be

He’s thrown a few balls with elite anticipation 

He’s a timing thrower playing with WR’s who aren’t reliable. It’s why the Mingo experiment failed horribly. Mingo would run his routes at different depths, come out of breaks and drift. So now Young is throwing to a 36 year old Adam Thielen and David Moore lol

Young has obviously flipped a switch this last month and he’s a different QB. I had written him off but if this is the Bryce we’re getting moving forward then he’d be just fine as our QB if Morgan puts actual talent around him.

We’re easily bottom 3 in talent at WR and TE

Correction- OConnell had 2 50 yard TDs in this game both of which were almost all air yards.    To suggest he checked down all game is Bryce defender desperation

Yeah and Bryce has had some beautifully thrown balls dropped the last few weeks too. Specifically by XL. I'm trying to chalk it up to him being a rookie. But if we can bring in someone with elite route running and pair that with coker, XL, and Sanders that would be a decent foundation I'd think

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
