Bryce has no excuses. His O-line may not be perfect, but they're a legitimate, seasoned unit. As for the O-line, as well as all the acquired skill positions since Dan and Dave have taken over, The FO has done good by him. Yeah, I said it. 

He's a top (expensive) pick who was been coddled and catered to, and who has had the benefit of the prerequisite amount of patience by the current FO. It's now time for Bryce to succeed.

I didnt read the article, but there are no excuses for Bryce.  He will make or break his self, stop blaming the rest of the team for his "short" comings.  Had to do it

Gotta say I agree. Dunno if he'll live up top pick of the draft expectation just yet though. That said, if he even shows up 25% better than he did thru the back half of last season, we're in pretty good shape paired with the defensive moves we made. He does atleast have that clutch gene down pat though. 

As for the article, I'd probably put my money on Zavala making the team. The wildcard is Luke Kandra, who iirc was a team captain, 2nd team All American w/ only one sack surrendered at Cincinnati. Impressive. But college is not the pros.

The primary person who is going to make or break Bryce is Bryce. The OL is solid. Probably as good as most of our historic best units. The WRs are unproven but we've spent a ton of draft capital. We have a proven RB behind him. It's put up or shut up. You don't trade up to #1 overall to draft a guy who has to be carried. That type of guy should be doing the carrying.

As others gave already stated- this is all.om Bryce. It's time to put up or shut up. There are no excuses.

We have one of the better o lines in franchise history.

We have a strong running game with Hubbard, dowdle and Etienne. 

We have young,  talented but unproven te in sanders and Evans 

We now have one of the deepest wr rooms in franchise history with tmac, x, coker, horn, thielen, and probably renfrow

The only one now that can Make or break Bryce is Bryce himself. 

( btw writing this- Morgan and Canales have completely rebuilt the entire o in 2 years)

Maybe the offense doesn't have any excuses, but the defense has to give the team a chance. We can't be playing from 3 touchdowns behind and expect the offense to still thrive every game. We have to get some stops on 3rd down. We have to be able to create more time of possession for the offense more opportunities through turnovers. There's more pressure on Evero than there is on Bryce I think this year. Even if only slightly.

100% all of this

Basically the only thing this offensive roster doesn't have right now is an already established #1 WR, and that's only because our #1 WR is a rookie.

It's time for Bryce to live up to his draft (and trade) status.  

Unless T-Mac completely busts (which I clearly don't see happening) and XL regresses at the same time, there are just zero excuses for Bryce to not produce at a high level this year unless he just isn't able to do so, and then it's time for the conversation.

If Bryce plays like he played the second half of the season, he'll have a good season. If he takes the next step and is more consistent, then he'll have a really good season. If the o-line and receivers step up too, this season will be epic for him. YAC and a legit deep threat is still needed. Hopefully these 2nd year guys and rookies at WR and TE are as good as advertised. He can't play defense. But he also can't catch for his receivers, or make them better in the open field after the catch.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
