Bryce is not playing like Bryce before the benching.

There was a level of temerity there that honestly I didn't think he had it in him to overcome. He was playing scared, like the game was too big for him.

Bryce before the benching would not have been able to deliver a throw knowing he was going to get hit. Bryce after the benching steps up into pressure, keeps his eyes down field and delivers an accurate strike, and then gets leveled.

When Bryce before the benching ran, he looked like he was fleeing. Bryce after the benching looks like he's escaping.

There's no other way to describe it. I'm not looking at the same player before and after the benching. I don't know what the cause for it is, but Bryce is playing with confidence, excitement, and playing the game at a very high level. I never would have believed I'd be saying this earlier this season, but I think he's our QB.

I agree, he looked absolutely lost and overwhelmed in first two weeks.  This is a completely different player now.

He's in control now. This is the Bryce we saw at Alabama. This current Bryce can definitely be a franchise QB. I think the benching was the best thing that could have happened. 

If XL makes that diving TD catch we win the game point blank. This kid is proving he belongs. I don't get why people still want to hate on him.

I think you meant to say - If XL stays on his feet and just catches the ball with his hands and walk into the endzone to take the lead, and the defense doesn't give up a FG with 45 seconds remaining in the game.

Agree. I don't get why folk are hating on Bryce right now. I was down on him after the first 2 games. But he's playing really good football right now. Really good.

The time spent watching Andy was invaluable to him. 

You can just see he has such a better handle on what he's supposed to be doing. In college, he was so good, and his team was so good, he didn't have to do as much pre-snap as he is doing now. What really excites me is the way he's doing this. It's not raw ability, it's chess. He can play this brand of football for a long time. For the love of god let's keep investing in the offensive line.

XL did this in Vegas on a 2pt conversion I believe and I knew right then and there he didn’t trust his hands at all

Since then he’s continued to leave his damn feet every single time. He hasn’t trusted his hands from the start so this might be more than just the yips

I would love to have to come here and say I was totally wrong.  That would mean he’s become a star and well worth the cost we paid.

Hes getting better each week and he’s piloting the team into positions to win.  I’m very encouraged by what I’m seeing but too jaded to formally declare his arrival.

I want to see this level of play when the games aren’t meaningless.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
