Well, our actual best WR is also part of why he was wide open, as they had him doubled with bracketed coverage instead of one of them keeping an eye on Rico running right past them all into the open space.

And he caught it when it got there.

Not sure it's hate as much as nerves.

There is a large portion of the fan base (myself included) that is 100% convinced he'll never be a legitimately good starting QB in this league.

While sure, I'd love it if he just flipped a switch and becomes one, as it's the quickest way for us to get back to relevance.  We're nervous when he puts up the one decent game because it might trick the team into thinking he can still become something and it gives him an extra year that he shouldn't get.

It's not rooting against him, it's fear that he's going to do what he did last year, just enough to get another season that he shouldn't be getting.

I don't think it is shocking that when his supporting cast plays well, he plays better.  We have more problems than just Bryce.

We seem pretty relevant right now.  Enjoy it.

It is in all our best interests for him to be the guy.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
