24 year old QB with his 2nd HC in 2 years

32 total tds to 11 ints

Factor in what he’s surrounded by and you’d be foolish to give up on him so soon 

Ready to sign him to a 5 year 220m contract with 160m guaranteed with those numbers at the end of the season?

9 fumbles

That TD figure is definitely incorrect. Bryce only has 36 career TD passes. All but four of them absolutely did not come after his benching.

Total tds

And the highest paid player on the OL is out for season 

They were healthy all last season so that’s a relevant observation.

Panthers also have a good deal of oline depth.

8-9 record (inc 6 game winning drives)

If you’re counting the cardinals and giants game he didn’t throw a pass on the final drives.

Those are nice stats and all but I want to see more Atlanta games from him. He has seemed timid this year TBH.

Need to include these to be fair.

That was a falcons defense intentionally trying to get their coach fired.

His performance this year against atlanta, even with the defense carrying him, is just what he is, and closer to his career numbers.

Yeah, on the radio the other day they were talking about QB1 contract numbers.  You have rookie contracts, FA contracts and second contracts for QB1.  While certain FA QB contracts can be pricey, most aren't that steep overall.  You have a QB1 going for his second deal, you had back up the Brinks truck.  They went through examples and it didn't matter elite or not, those second contracts for a QB1 are eye-popping and cap bloating.  They mentioned those QBs that got paid on those second deals had better be the type that can elevate a team because the cap, as a result,  is too tight to put talent everywhere else on the roster.

The issue isn't the YPA, the issue is the reason why.

And it's because he can't consistently drive the ball downfield with accuracy and on time.  He has multiple throws every week that the average NFL QB is able to make 90% of the time, but he can't throw if he's not perfectly balanced and even when he is, he can't put enough drive on throws 20+ yards downfield to get them into windows before they close.

You can't win consistently or at a high level in today's NFL with a QB like that, and it's not something he'll ever be able to do unless he starts pumping himself full of all sorts of steroids and bulks way up.

It's because of two things. 

One his arm is about average, maybe slightly below average. 

The thing that kills him is that his footwork is god awful and I can't for the life of me figure out why it hasn't been fixed when he's in year three. 

 

His footwork is worse than rookie Cam Newtons was and Newton had the physical tools to over come that but BY doesn't.

You want to see... MORE... of the Atlanta game from Bryce this year?

You mean the game where he had 121 yards passing on 24 pass attempts and no passing TDs?

I think this is a perfect example of too many fans getting too excited about winning games and not actually registering what they're seeing on the field not being good football.

We won that game 30-0, yes, but it was not because of Bryce or anything he did
