I dont know if this is productive for this forum but here goes my first one:

What are the odds that Smitty didnt really break his arm? Instead he was told to chill out for a bit.

And while we are on the subject of odds. What are the odds that I will be able to buy Steve Smith underoos in the near future?. . . I would wear them with just a cape. . . . everywhere.

maybe goggles too.

Zero.Zero:

1. Smitty does not play games like that

2. Smitty's agent would not allow him to take the PR hit just to lay about as it could impact future contracts.

3. Richardson/Fox would not do this. I could see them hiding a potential player on IR for the year or nursing a hammy for preasonson but not faking a broken bone that required surgery.

Sadly, I think its #2 that makes the conspiracy most unlikely to me.

you do know they put another plate in right?

I never thought about how shady it is to IR stash people. We do it at least once a year. Pike probably goes out for the year with a papercut.

No, I've had my own broken bone problems the past few months.

Was the break that bad? All I remember was a bunch of "OMG WE'RE SCREWED" reactions.

From what I have been told you can't just put a guy on IR. First of all the medical report has to be sent to the league office and it has to be documented. Sure there is some flexibility so that a guy who breaks his leg can be placed on IR 3 weeks into the season even though he could be back by week 11 for example. If you have a guy who can't contribute due to an injury and you need to replace him, you can put him on IR for example. Still you can't just put a completely healthy guy on IR for no reason. If you get caught doing that I believe you suffer fines and punishment by the league office.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
