Lets let the dude cook this season and quit trying to make him fit someone else's trajectory.  

we all agree that he needs to stick with that beard look, though. Right?

I actually think Bryce is a decent option as a dark horse MVP candidate. Not many people had Cam winning MVP in 2015 either. Or Mahomes in 2018.

hell Id even add Meg Ryan to that list.

He finally hit puberty so that's a good sign. Proud of ya, little buddy.

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

https://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/8/11/9130505/nfl-mvp-odds-released-for-2015-season

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.

I'm excited to see what JT can do this year.  He seems focused and ready to take the next step.  Love seeing Coker working out with them this summer as well!

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.
