Point is you can make up any kind of argument to back up/put down any player you want, but it still doesn't matter when it is a team issue... even up to your supposedly best players...

I agree that you can pick and choose stats to make them say what you want but I wasn't picking and choosing, I gave you the full, unbiased picture with those numbers.

You gave me two abstract numbers. Drops are somewhat subjective as well. You also didn't include total number of targets to compare ratios. On that list ahead of Smith are some of the best receivers in the game and using your logic LaFell is better than them as well ;).

I get your point but in this case it's invalid because there was full disclosure.

But you don't take into account practice reps/team chemistry/offensive coordination/etc. into your stats... Those count for something to, and therefore have validity...

Smith missed all of camp so the first reps they had together this year were week 1. By now Jimmy has had more reps with Smith than Moore has.

Your reaching, reaching faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

Worst part about all this is if jc does turn it around, ppl will sob about not drafting a projected franchise QB because the projected franchise qb we drafted is playing well. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't

Most any of us fans can do at this point is play the waiting game or wait for Captain Hindsight to arrive. Or fling poo at one another

No one will sob if he plays well over an extended period of time. We'll sob if he plays well for one game and we lose out on the best QB prospect this decade.

He's earned all the "damning" he's gotten.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
