Is it fairly obvious to anyone else....

They were giving the GIants something else to gameplan for, but if I am the Giants, I laugh in the general direction of the Panthers. Here is what I saw:

I saw a kid who has been overhyped, overwhelmed, taken out of his postion, tried as a punt returner, a KO returner, now a Wildcat QB--Damn, Davidson. How about letting him focus on learning WR? Is something wrong with that? Is FOx trying to giftwrap a turd of a draft pick and make us think we have something great inside? Let the boy learn WR and then-GRADUALLY--expand his role. He has to be confused as hell. The more I watch the panthers, the more I think Davidson is a doltish moronic idiot who looks like Al from Tool Time.

I think that's the point being argued is the "Edwards is still learning, give him a break" and the "Edwards isn't good enough now to contribute" crowds. I happen to be in the later. AE will be okay in the future, but he's not a threat in the the return game, not one of our top 4 WR and runs the Mountaineer package marginally.

I'm sure he will improve, but I doubt he makes any huge leaps this year. I also doubt he makes the 53 if he were lower than a 6th rounder or FA. Since he's not in that scenario, he'll make the team.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
