  1. 1. It's been so spirited for so long, let's draw some lines in the sand. Where do you fall on the Bryce spectrum?

    • Full-on fan - He is our Franchise QB, present & future

    • The door is still open for him being the answer
      52
    • The door is closed barring a major run
      69
    • Nope, he's not the answer - Doesn't matter what he does

Option 2. Winning keeps the door open. Simple as that, just like with any QB.

I don't care what the stats line is. I care about wins and losses.

Gunslinger, Point Guard, Game Manager, Athletic Freak, Pocket Passer, Aging Vet... whatever. Get the win, keep the starting QB job. Do it consistently and stay competitive in the playoffs and you are, by definition a franchise QB. And those guys don't develop overnight. 

It's all about the wins and getting to the playoffs. 

Rings... well, those are rarer than people think.

I sorta get it, but I'm keeping this as is.  

3rd option is where you sound to be.  It can be opened.  Don't see enough disparity between the two/would only muddy the poll.  

I picked 3rd but I think it's still open until the end of the season.  I was kind of between 2 and 3 as well.

I never wanted him. Have said why plenty.
Mistake. Major mistake. 
 

But I am not completely unreasonable and went with the door is closed barring a major turnaround. 
 

I mean without a doubt turnaround. And not the Bryce fans bar for without a doubt, (they are there now) but my criteria. 
That means no opening quarter meltdowns no ridiculously bad ball security. In control and Getting those plays off and succeeding. 
His worst game still needs to have a redeeming series or two and some plays are still made. 
 A sub par game still is competitive and doesn’t sink the team. We might still win (his normal/good game now).
And those need to be rare. His normal game needs to actually show some real deal NFL ability. It needs to be good. And his great games need to rock.

I think the door is open, I also think if he ever gets with a Sean Payton type coach he will put up monster numbers. Right now they are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole with Canales offense, and the offense is still functioning. If you look at Jayden Daniels DC is running his college offense, they don’t ask him to be something he’s not. Same with Bo Nix in Denver they threw more screens and half field reads than anyone last year.

Bryce does little things QBs his size never do. Someone posted a chart of QBs 6ft and under and Bryce laps them in throws over the middle of the field, he also takes way more snaps under center than all those QBs, he’s way more willing to stand in the pocket and take a hit than all those QBs.

He has shown he can pull off some high end throws and be clutch in some situations. He has been really inconsistent and turnovers are his biggest issue. I think his turnovers are mostly happenning due to his size and not being able to see the field clearly in a condensed pocket.

I think he will be an NFL starter in this league for awhile if he can find the right situation and staff. I am not certain if Canales can be that guy for Bryce, but we have seen some positive signs with this, such as week 18 last year and week 6 this year.

I don't put much stock in year 1. It seems like that coaching staff was a mess and I don't know if they just didn't want Bryce, but I get the impression they didn't even try to make it work with him.

The tl,dr version of this is simply, I think he has the potential to be a better player than Sam Darnold currently is. I think the most likely scenario is he finds success on another team.

I absolutely dunk all over Sam Darnold and will continue(unless he proves me wrong) to but Bryce has never at his best been as good as Darnold at his best. Bryce at his worst looks an awful lot like Darnold at his worst.

Yes but this is the Kyle Allen argument. The eye test for Allen was rough even during the "Baby GOAT" streak. To an extent Bryce is similar. The eye test isn't the best even in these wins. TO's, missed throws, missed reads, etc. However, he has definitely made some good to great throws too. They are just too few and far between

Not a franchise changing guy, but there's only a handful of those in the league. 

His peak is probably a Top 12-15 QB with a great situation around him. Is that the answer you want? No, but is it better than some? Sure...but he's still got to get to that top end level on a consistent basis which seems highly unlikely.

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
