This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

Yeah I mean I do share your concern. But take Darnold for example. Everything you want in a QB but crumbles when the stakes get high. I don’t think that helps us either. 
 

Bryce was cooking at the end of last year. I’m not sure what’s going on and why we’re not seeing that guy right now. My hope is maybe we see some of that this Sunday and open things up for a “should be” W. 

He only cooked like once though, really cooked. He did the minimum ‘good’ in a couple of others. He hasn’t maintained that, or maybe I should say carried it over and built on it. Which is what you want to see. 
He is just too limited athletically to unlock a pro passing offense. IMO. So you have to settle and compensate. 

It is nice to win some games and feel better on Sundays. For sure. 
Edit: PS, on Darnold… where do you think this team would be now with him taking the reins? 
So maybe he doesn’t have it to win the Super Bowl but he can walk you into the division title pretty much. 
Getting rid of a guy like that (which Minnesota did) is about like Snyder firing Marty Schottiemer (sp?) or maybe is was San Diego, after a 14-2 season because he lost in the playoffs.

Not a spec of dirt on either jersey

And took the Rams offer for Burns and kept DJ Moore and not traded away the world for Bryce?

Yeah it’s been optimism for some people but nothing but pain for others. I am in the latter group.

Kyler murray signed a 5 year 230 million dollar deal after his 4rth season (2022) where he made the playoffs once in those 4 years and played abysmal  

His average, including injuries for those 4 years are below:

66% 21tds 3500yards 92qbr

 

Fast forward to Nov 2025  https://www.si.com/nfl/kyler-murray-cardinals-parting-ways-likely-imminent?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

Hes owed roughly 50 and 40 million against the cap for the next 2 years.  fuging nuts, you are essentially tying your hands behind your back and trying to compete

I could do Tua as well but you guys get the point.

 

In closing, please for the love of God Teppers please dont put this franchise in a blender by extending Bryce.

Every time I think about Bryce's option, Murray is the dude that pops into my mind too (also Daniel Jones).  If Tepper doesn't want mediocrity, then why sign a QB whose ceiling is mediocre? Heck a strong rushing attack and elite defense with weak QB play only got the Bears a single title in the mid 80's where our defense is no '85 Bears and Dowdle ain't Walter Peyton.  Our recipe for success right now will win some games, but it's not a long term playoff winning scheme.  Why?  There will be games where our QB is asked to put the game on his shoulders and Bryce isn't that dude.

I having trouble understanding when he got his ext.  Was it after the 3rd or frth year?  They picked up the 5th and then gave him the ext?  2 sites are saying 2 different things?

It's so obvious at this point you gotta believe ppl just trolling in support

Something is really wrong with the sport when you pay 50 and 60 million dollars for average players to play 17 games  

I wish they would the price for everything and let the everyday people back into it, you can pay the players very well without it being crazy. It is crazy now.

We have a great opportunity to move on from the mistake that has crippled this franchise for the last three years.

Alas I feel like we're going to double down on it.

That was an atrocious pick

Yep. We killed the talent on this team throwing away 4 first picks, a few 2nds and Moore by keeping Burns one year too long and trading up for Young.

We look like an OK team but we are still not close to contending because our pass rush and QB are still bottom of the league. 

[Jackie Lee]

Shough is exactly the kind of qb you can get pretty cheap in the draft (Saints reached at 40) that could easily beat BY out in an honest training camp competition. Ridiculous to watch this in real time
