If I remember correctly Jake Delhome was sitting on his couch when the Panthers gave him a call .The difference is Jake the fire in his belly to be great .  Not so much talent but a will to win . Bryce may be smart but has no will to win and no one to kick his butt to be better .

He was a Free agent signing from the Saints

Most of his time was assigned to Europe and active roster.

None of which is the couch

Im ok with the 'ride or die' with BY. 

I think the FO know they get another shot if he doesnt make it, so why spend resources on a player that will never be the future anyway.

I remember the Europe stint but their practice squad is where I thought we picked him from. I remember the active roster as qb3 for a couple of years before ending up on the practice squad where we snatched him. I thought he was on the practice squad 2 years and the roster 1 year. Got it backwards.

It gets murky because Europe and NFL seasons were staggered so one could be on both in same year

If you read the thread title to the tune of "two turntables and a microphone" it's more fun.

I just dont feel like qbs are prepared anywhere near where they used to be. 

Brady and Manning have mentioned how dumbed down the college game is now from a qbs perspective. 

Seems super rare to find the Warners or even Delhommes

It’s deliberate. 
 

Can’t bring in a known commodity like a Jameis because we’d all be clamoring for him after week one. 
 

have to let Bryce sink or swim this year.

You think it would be better to swap Bryce’s bad play for a 5th round rookie’s bad play?

Really?!

To be fair, there have been UDFAs in the past two seasons who played better than Bryce, far better, to say nothing of those who had been drafted.
