Not sure how being bottom 10 in passing justifies so much confidence..

Our number 1 receiver missed 7 games. The only other currently good WR hasn't played a lot either cause he was undrafted and had to gain his snaps. He has also missed the past 3 games...

Don't evaluate stats that consider the full season. See the progression we've made instead.

Stats aside, it's all about the eye test for me. These last 3 weeks I've seen a franchise QB. If not for a botched snap and a egregious drop, we probably beat the two best teams in the NFL. Both times driving his team down the field to win the game. He's escaping the pocket more, making plays with his feet, making good NFL throws (still want to see his deep ball get better), reading the defense better, etc. I mean, just turn on his film from earlier in the year to now.......it is night and day.

Now, I have to see it for the remainder of the year before I jump on the bandwagon. But if you're still trying to downplay Bryce after what we've seen the last month, then you really do just want to see him fail.

Top team is less than 100 ahead of bottom and has a similar record. This year hasn't been about how many yards you throw for...it's about making the plays when they need/have to be made, and recently we've made a lot more of them then we were. I think that's where the confidence is coming from. You can see it on the TV screen, just not in the W/L column. I don't think anyone who is still grounded in reality is expecting us to be 13-4 next year but I think a winning record is on the table. We got a lot of dudes who are still learning how to play NFL football and how to make game winning plays...it's a talent. That's why the best teams consistently do it.

This is rational and fair.

The Huddle will hate it.

As a huge Bryce critic I have become cautiously optimistic. The biggest takeaway I’ve had from the past few games is he is starting to make some of the off script plays that he wowed everyone with at Alabama. When he attempted that kind of stuff last year it usually ended horrendously.

I am hoping he continues his upwards trajectory and we are able to put together a competitive team around him in the next year or 2 before we have to decide whether to pay Bryce the big bucks or not.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
