Anyone left who does not believe in Bryce ?

[Frank9999]

Just curious to see what the arguments are if you don't believe in him. I have never seen a turnaround like this tbh, a player that looked so lost and bad turn to a guy who looks and has the confidence of a star.

Yes wait until the next bad game or less than stellar performance, they’ll come out of the woodwork

believe in what sense?  Thats a pretty vague question

[jfra78]

I believe he deserves another year and deserves to be the unquestioned starter next season.  

[mav1234]

Believe he should start in the league and for us next year? Yeah for sure.

Believe in the height of his ceiling - in any way? Believe he's our franchise savior? Not yet.  He's played decently for 3/4th of a year, which isn't really enough to be sure of much. Hopeful, for sure, and looking forward to next year.

Best turnaround since Josh Allen. Go back and watch his college play. I've never seen a QB look so wildly inaccurate and then develop into a legit NFL passer.

This. He definitely showed a lot in the final stretch of the season. Enough to actually make me excited to see him next season. He looked like a legit MVP caliber QB in the final game. That's exciting. But we need to see a lot more than just a handful of games before I'm ready to say we definitely have our long-term answer at QB. I sure hope we do.

I believe Bryce should be our starter next year. The problem now though is, which Bryce will he be? He has been the biggest draft bust in history and he has been a top half of the league QB. Will he revert back to early season 2 Bryce? Maybe. I don't think so, but who knows really.

Definitely glad he's trending in the right direction going into the offseason. He could still regress like Stroud did this year. Need to see him have a season where he puts it all together for us to feel like we finally have our "guy." Hes close but not quite there yet. I hope he gets there.

This^. I'm glad he finally started playing how he's capable of playing. He's got to be consistent with his game over a full season before I'm convinced he can be the answer at qb for a while. Now it's up to Canales to design an offense that takes advantage of what he does best. He and Dan will have to finish building a team around him as well. I do believe they can win with him.

I'm feeling much better than I was at the beginning of the year.  When he was benched, I felt sure he was done, finito, gone, out the door.  And when they didn't trade him before the deadline, I was wondering what they saw the the rest of us didn't.  But since he was put back in after Dalton's wreck injury, he has played like a completely different QB.  

He has earned the starting job for next year.  Like others, I want to see if he continues this forward trajectory or if we need to draft another QB in 2026.

Believe is a weird word for this. Believing in him does not make him better. 

Do I have confidence in him? Kinda. He did much better the last half of the season. I'm fine with going into next season with him as the starter. However, it feels like a trap at times and I really want them to go find somebody as an insurance policy that isn't 40 years old. 

What happens if he "loses his confidence again" or goes back to what he was doing. Then we are talking about drafting a QB again. OR what happens if he tears an achilles or something. He has been durable so far but you never know. 

I wouldn't go do anything crazy but I would have a competent guy behind him. There will be cheap options to pick from:

• Drew Lock
• Jacoby Brissett
• Jameis Winston
• Justin Fields
• Carson Wentz
• Cooper Rush

etc.

One thing Dan keeps saying is they want competition at every position and QB is no exception. Bryce has won his place on the team and to be named starter. But to stay the starter he needs to play at a high level or I hope we bring in other guys to challenge him unless they think Dalton is the guy. At which point I hope they draft a guy like in the third round who drops and at that point is BPA.  Or bring in a young guy drafted high earlier who didn't work out and let Canales work his magic.
