Hot Take: This team will never get over the hump, until we move on from Bryce.

Allen, Jackson and Burrow have not won anything yet other than MVP trophies, like Cam. Burrow might not even make playoffs even while playing like an MVP, because football is a team sport and you need to win in every phase of the game.

the QB that Bryce resembles the most out of the ones you listed is Mahomes, whom he beat (oh wait XL dropped it). Mahomes has the SB trophies and is obviously generational - but if we can continue to build around Bryce and Bryce can keep progressing, hopefully he can follow a similar path to Mahomes.

Thielen is not the problem but the point is he’s our best receiver and would be #3 at best on good teams. 

A #3?  Number 2, yeah, on most teams.  We don't have to sale Thielen short just to try to make a point.  Poor drafting and development of young WRs along with other misfires in FA is why our WR corps is the way it is.  All that being said, I'd rather have an elite QB and an average WR corps than an average QB with an elite group of WRs.

The last few seasons we've seen unprecedented Qb play. Allen, Jackson,  MaHomes, Burrow to name few. We move up to 1# to pick a micro Teddy Bridgewater. Burrow had at least 250 yards and 3 Tds the last 8 games ,and over 400 tonight.  Y'all get giddy if Bryce throws over 100 yards.  This is unacceptable in today's NFL.  

Face the facts, we need to move on.

Define your "hump?"  No, I'm serious, because the metric of success to define "getting over the hump" will be different from person to person.  I bet some think we have because Bryce is playing better and we have already won more games than last year.

True but compared to Super Bowl caliber or even playoff caliber QBs he still if not that impressive. Hard to see us winning a Super Bowl with a QB that struggles to throw 15 TDs a season.

Mahomes also throws TDs with ease and averages 20+ a season where Bryce can barely throw 15. 
His “rookie” year he threw 50. Stop comparing Bryce to one of the best QBs in the NFL. He is Bridgewater at best. Meaning he will never be the reason we are successful and will always need the perfect team around him to have any modicum of success.

I'm definitely curious to see how Bryce looks without Chuba. He's undoubtedly looked better recently now let's see what he looks like without the offense being able to lean heavily on one of the NFL's leading rushers this season.

We already have seen what he looks like without a running game against the Cowboys. He was awful.

You think our WR corps is average? Lol

You think Bryce is an elite QB? Lol.  It was a general statement, if I were a GM building a team with limited cap resources and I could either afford an elite QB and average WRs or pay two elite WRs and a top slot guy and get a middle of the road QB, I'm taking the first proposition every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
