I guess the coaching staff should eat crow too. The fans weren't the ones that benched him.

If Bryce had just sat behind Dalton all of last year, I think we would have gotten this Bryce for most of this year. He just needed some time to shake off the trainwreck that was 2023

Soooo happy to eat mine for now. I don't think the whole bird is done yet but I'm about halfway through, trying to pace myself while eating it.

Difference is the coaching staff never said he couldn't do it and gave up on him. Some people here were so convinced he couldn't even compete on an NFL field. Especially the deep ball and the huddles perceived lack of ability to throw it, which has been talked about ad nauseum. I mean how many pictures of him standing next to someone, wearing a backpack, comparisons of his arms between seasons did we see? All to discredit his ability to be out there.

The throw to theilen to take the lead was elite. 

The throw on 3rd and 1 in the red zone earlier in the game was also sick. 

I was a Bryce basher but he has looked the part the past 2 games.

Benching him was clearly the right decision. He needed to sit and watch.  He should have done that last year

Not much. Most are still in denial.

I never thought that he couldn't throw it deep, just that he doesn't. He has been more willing to push the ball downfield, and i like what I've seen recently. I still think his arm is weak, meaning he has no zip on the ball, but if he can continue to make up for it with anticipation then he will be ok.

Arm is weak? Another useless complaint who gives a flying f… if he makes all the throws accurately idgaf about arm strength. Let’s dive deeper into your complaint no zip on the ball show me a play where his lack of zip cost us anything. Show me a play where his weak arm cost us a completion or because he doesn’t have a Josh Allen cannon he didn’t make the play he needed to make. His 40 yarder down the field to XL two weeks ago was a got d…. dime his throw to AT in the end zone was a dime, his throw to XL 3 weeks ago that the man pulled out his hand was a dime about 30+ yards. What about the one handed grab to AT was a rocket arm needed? You’re logic is so self absorbed your judging the man off what you want him to have and that’s just outright goofy, not judging him off performance not off the talent he’s going against not even the situation he’s facing ex..(4th quarter down by 4 needed a TD) in which he’s outperformed all expectations vs KC vs Giants vs Tampa nobody Gives a f…. about him not having a rocket he’s noodle arm in the last 4-5 weeks has him rated as top 3 QB I think that’s way more Important then satisfying fans need for our QB to possess a cannon these complaints are getting too notch outlandish and quite embarrassing go be a dam Bills fan so your QB can have the strongest arm in the league yet he’s won nothing significant since he’s been in the dam league besides your heart he’s won your heart by having a rocket arm we gotta see what’s his consolation prize for winning arm of the year award.

This is just dumb they benched him to help him because he has all the tools but wasn’t playing up to par benched him he  focused on his technique and came back and started doing what was expected what crow would they even be eating this is ignorant.

Guys.... Im just excited about the future..

It was never that Bryce had a weak arm. He just didn't take enough deep shots. And again, he was overthrowing guys. Not underthrowing them. Sure, a little more arc on the ball would have helped his receivers, but we don't have a real deep threat receiver. The closest was Chark last year but his hands were iffy at best. Timing was more of the reason for those misses than lack of arm strength. And that's mostly due to the room for error throwing deep to guys that aren't deep threat receivers. Mingo, TMJ, Thielen and Coker are not deep threat receivers. That doesn't mean they'll never catch a ball 30+ yards downfield. But it'll take a little more to get it done with them. Legette could be. But his hands are holding him back right now - like Chark.

He doesn't have elite arm strength but he does have good arm strength with elite arm flexibility. Mahomes is the only freak with both. Bryce is dropping some nice passes from less than ideal arm angles. And plenty of zip when he wants to. I do think he's still figuring out when to put some mustard on it and when to leave some room for error for his receivers. That's more timing and chemistry in my opinion.

IMHO accuracy and anticipation > arm strength. JaMarcus Russell had arm strength for days but 0 accuracy and anticipation. Now you do need some arm strength but arm strength means squat if you don't know where to properly put it.

I watched Drew Brees for the last 7-8 years of his career when he had at best, moderate arm strength.  But his accuracy/timing on throws 20-30 yards was impeccable, and he was cool under pressure.  Those attributes are far more important than the ability to throw it 50 yards on a dime.
