He's consistent, good hands but he's not a game changer nice safety valve but he's no Kittle,Bowers or Laporta....

He's still young, never know.  He's had very similar production to Laporta too

I'm talking the eye test I've watched maybe six GB games this year and I'll tell you he isn't a guy who threatens the seam and he also isn't much of a threat for YAC, what he is a good possession TE and there isn't anything wrong with that.

He seems to always get them a first down when they need it. I haven't really seen Laporta break games open like the other guys, either. I think they're both great TEs, just not really incredible like the other two you mentioned.

First Herbert, then Love looking atrocious...

Herbert isn't all that surprising but Love and instances like Sam Darnold looking like the old Sam Darnold should be a good reason for us to not go out of our way to read too much into some of these recent games from our own QB. Plenty of quarterbacks have put together handfuls of good games and then came back down to Earth. It's hard to find the guys with staying power. Maybe stating the obvious there but it's difficult to have conversations about this here sometimes without removing emotion.

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
