Mahomes didn't play at all his rookie season.

That is one massive thing about his career people have somehow memory-holed.

The Chiefs had Alex Smith, and decided the best thing would be to give Mahomes a year to develop (even though Smith wasn't great). And obviously the same with Jordan Love, etc.

I wonder how different the narrative would be on Bryce if he hadn't had been put in such dysfunction his rookie season. 

If Bryce hadn't seen the field until the 2nd half of this past year, it would be completely different.

Regardless the past is the past, the ink is dry, and he gets a chance to have a say in the narrative of his career this year.

He has to perform, and I think he will.

And I love Cam to death, and while he probably did have better MVP odds going into 2015 than Bryce does going into this season, no one had Cam seriously on the MVP radar going into 2015. 

 

Check your facts, pal. Mahomes started the last game of the regular season his rookie year as the Chiefs benched their starters due to playoff position being locked in. And in that one game he showed significantly more than Bryce has shown in his entire career as a starter. Which is what my post was alluding to.

 

Regarding Cam:

Going into 2015 he had 50/1 odds for MVP

But going into 2014 his odds were considerably higher as he was coming off a season where he was clearly a top 10 QB before his 2014 was hampered by injury, a bad team and a down year in terms of his play too. Going into 2014 he was 25/1, tied for 8th best MVP odds in the league.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2014-nfl-mvp-odds-peyton-manning-the-obvious-favorite/

Bryce's odds right now are about 100/1.

 

 

Again, Bryce is absolutely nowhere near the conversation or even the same stratosphere as those guys and putting any amount of money on him to win MVP would just be throwing your money away.

He is my favorite pick from last draft.  Cannot believe he made it to the 4rth

He's the only TE with actual receiving juice since Greg Olsen.

We have become almost numb to the idea of drafting an actual TE that can be a difference maker as a franchise...

Seriously, TE and S are probably the 2 positions where I feel like this franchise has historically overlooked for the most part.

Sanders said he wants to be the next Olsen. Hope he does- having a dependable TE can make an offense so much more dynamic.

And that is crazy how through numerous regimes, coaches, owners, and staff, we have never highly drafted these two positions. The TMAC pick was definitely a non Panthers draft move, so maybe as we grow we draft an all world safety to take over down the road. It seems like Baltimore always has a crazy good safety.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
