Hey Steve...

He's been back two weeks and he has 2 drops, 2 fumbles, and an idiotic 15yd drive killing penalty. I'm fine with him returning punts, but I don't believe he's done anything with that that Munnerlynn can't do.

Once again though, if we had an OC who knew how to use them, our WR's would be fine.

You need to initiate some offensive rhythm early in the preseason that will transfer over into the regular season, we never had the chemistry and it's definitely showing now....

Tyring to beat out the cowgirls for the 1st overall pick might be tough, but that's what we have to look forward to now.

I think Smitty has lost a lot of valuable practice and playing time due to injuries, which has led to a decline in performance. I believe with all my heart that he still has the potential to be great.

Don't know that I completely agree that Smitty has regressed so much as I think that it is the offense as a whole that is completely off rhythm and it's deeply affecting his performance. EVERYONE involved with Panthers football is to blame. And that includes the likes of JR on down to the friggin waterboy, and everyone in between( Fox and Davidson cough, cough). Our team looks to be, by far, the worst prepared team in the league on gameday.

However, to get back to your original point, I do think that Stewies apparent regression is partially due to his lack of practice and preparation in the pre-season. It really does look like he's running through molasses and has lost a step, plus he doesn't seem to be shaking tackles like he used to either. Obviously Stewie (or DWill for that matter) is not totally to blame for their lack of production, it doesn't help that our OLine sucks sh*t and that our passing game is virtually non existent to anyone who doesn't play defense for the 49ers.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
