How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

Delhomme was average physically but his fire and competitiveness meant he often showed up at big moments. He relied on others to get the yards. Bruce is similar. His strength is his processing speed and elusiveness in the pocket. He won't overwhelm you with athleticism and needs the team to do the work for him. Like most teams their quarterbacks are average. If everyone got 30 tds to 10 into,  then that would be average.  You know who else had average physical skills? Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

that’s incredibly comparable to Mahomes’ stat line from last season

The league has moved past the mid 2010s insane production bump league wide that we saw in that window these past few seasons. I think people are setting outrageous expectations for what constitutes a “solid” season. 

This.... for over a decade now defenses have gotten lighter and faster to combat pass happy attacks, the last few seasons you have seen a TON of power running teams becoming very successful because of it.....

Even when Bryce performs above expectations,  and get will perform above expectations,  because so many of you just refuse to believe he is capable.......

Wheb he performs above expectations,  y'all will just use the excuse of it's his surrounding cast.

Most see it. Others are repeating a decade old mantra and not adjusting to changes.

The Browns were the most pass happy team at 65% and the Eagles the least at 43%. It seems that most teams were somewhere in the 60-40 mix. Interestingly we were the 9th ranking team passing the ball around 59%. So every team needs an effective running game to avoid being one dimensional. And defenses need to be build to defend both the run and pass to avoid being easily exploited like we were last year.

If you’re pass happy it’s most likely because you’re always down by a score or two

Only 4 teams ran more than than threw the ball 

and 3 of those teams were getting 100+ rushes from the QB spot

If he throws for damn near 4k and 30 TDs, he's in contention for comeback player of the year if our record is above .500

To hit 3900 he'd have to average around 230 or so. Reasonable expectation for a franchise QB but Idunno if I'd make that bet yet.

We threw for 3400 yards in 2024. Just lessening drops alone could have added 300 yards.  And with familiarity in the scheme I dont think that 3900 would be hard to reach. Maybe what holds it down is running to finish the game if we are ahead versus passing to try and get back in it like last year.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
