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

[Jon Snow]

What qb is going to "get the team over the hump" as you say? The team has yet to find that guy. Even Cam Newton couldn't get this organization over the hump. So please tell me where this franchise savior is that you are pining for.

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

Pretty sure he would easily be 1 on the chiefs for wr

So you are saying that we need a great QB to get "over the hump" (talking Super Bowl), and you call it a "hot take."  

Here is my question:  What specifically would you do about it right now?  I want names, please.

These hot takes are lazy engagement bait for a player who is as gifted as any quarterback we’ve had since Cam got hurt.

Bad Bryce takes is what passes for content around here

[Gapanthersfan]

Teams, panthers especially, who annually draft a guy they think will save their franchise from the doldrums are rewarded a continuing fate. 

Winning franchises draft boring lineman, stop the run and get after the QB. They pass protect and coach up good QB to be great QBs. They stack good talent next to elite talent. 

This team is far from that point. Roll with Nice Young, build the team and the culture and see if he continues to grow. 

Burrow, Cam, Stafford,  Allen… unicorns. 99.9% of QBs don’t take that kind of beating and still win games. 

[AggieLean]

Cam is the only QB in this draft worth a 1st, and we won’t be in range to get him. Use this draft to build the roster up, and if we’re in this same spot next year, grab your QB. The class next year is looking much better. 
 

Im not sold on Bryce either, but you give him next season. If the team is still in this spot after next season, you move on.

Is it really a hot take when dozens of people have been saying the same thing for over a year?

Prime Cam did more with less, so don't give me that no weapons crap.

When exactly was this? It definitely wasn't his first 2 seasons because that's the only time you can compare with Bryce right now, since he isn't a finished product. Just like Cam wasn't in year 2. I'm not comparing Bryce's physical abilities to Cam. That would be flat out ridiculous. But Cam came into a much much better situation to develop as a rookie.

Awesome! Also add that you shouldn’t compare any player in their second season to any MVP player in their prime.

Yep, if you're going to compare the physical talent then you've got to also compare the anticipation and touch that Bryce throws with.

Well there goes my comparisons to second year Joe burrow

Any player who’s an mcp candidate is by definition in their prime, so how many seasons before we can compare Bryce to other qbs who are good
