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

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.

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)

[Doc LRB]

Hope the line only gets better.  They came together at end of last season with Bryce barring injuries eill be as good as we have had in many a moon!!!  Can't wait and rookies report tomorrow.

The offense has no excuses to be less than good.  The defense is still a massive question mark until they step on the field.  

Bryce can’t play defense.

[frankw]

The wording is confusing.

The onus is on the moving parts and not the main piece at the center of it all?

He hasn't earned that benefit yet.

When he has an elite season then we can talk.

[XClown1986]

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.

Bryce needs to prove without a shadow of doubt that he's our franchise QB this year. He has the talent on that side of the ball to prove it.
