Baz to Bears, O'Brien to New England

Too bad to lose Brett. Not a huge stretch to say he might instantly become at least the second best QB on roster.

As to O'Brien, word is that nobody who had to work with him during his prior stint here would want him back. He's said to be a world class douchebag.

Wow, I remember so many threads about Basanez over the past several years on here. Some saw potential but everyone in the organization loved his work ethic as he always seemed to be striving to become better by watching tape and doing all those little things that get noticed.

Now he just kind of fades away.

Not many on here thought much about him...

Baz has potential. I'm kind of a homer, I used to watch him play on saturdays for 3 years. But he broke every Northwestern QB record, several BigTen records, and finished #13 in NCAA history in total yards.

Naysayers will say it was the system, not the QB. I will admit that it was a quick pass offense with a lot of very short quick routes which will undoubtedly inflate a QBs #'s to a certain extent. What people forget to mention is that he did this with no talent around him. He never had a single big play threat or go-to tight end. Not one of his wideouts or TE's was ever even drafted.

I'm still astonished he did as well as he did considering how many passes I watched bounce off receivers hands.

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
