All qbs are game managers until they're not. And not many take the next step without quality around them 

I agree with that--and a good game manager understands that it is his job to get the ball to better athletes at the right time.   I would even say, "All great QBs are game managers first."  What then, is the special sauce that separates game manager from elite QB?   OC/play calling, weaponry, protection.  The General, the ammo, and the armor.

And there have been teams with average QBs and loaded rosters-mainly teams with great defenses--like the 85 Bears, for extreme example, that have won it all with a game manager--but it is much better to have an elite QB....

This draft will have some decent qbs who could become a good NFL starting QB--I think of Cousins being taken with RGIII in the same draft.  I think of Brady being drafted when the Pats had Bledsoe---I hope we go after a guy like Howard from Ohio State, Rourke from Indiana, or (and people might laugh at this, but he has the skills) Beck from Georgia. 

Yeah, Bryce is a game manager--that is all he was at Bama.

 

 

That is an ultimate indictment.  It's one thing to be a stud on dynasty college team full of blue chip talent driving up crazy stats, but to be just a facilitator and let the other guys eat says everything. 

The whole "point guard" thing sounded very strange to me at the time.  It makes sense now though.  Bryce is never going to be that guy to put the team on his back routinely.  His bread and butter is going to be like Bama, let the play makers eat and don't make any costly mistakes.

He hasn't converted me yet to believing he's the long term answer, but he's made huge strides in making me eat crow. 

I saw some pin-point throws today and over the last few games that have been really encouraging.

This is pretty much where I am.

Bryce has done a very good job the last couple months and he's earned the right to be in the conversation as the starting QB moving forward. That said, I still want another QB from the draft as well as a competitive option from FA.

Bryce is special. We are seeing all the things that made him a favorite as the #1 pick. He has sick anticipation. He has arm talent. This dude can def be a winner with a team built around him, just have to keep him healthy and put a team around him  

46 yards passing first half.   Yes the dude is special

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
