This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

Funny story that means nor implies anything.  My daughter was in from Clemson this weekend. Took her to Empire Pizza in rock hill. They had the game on. She knows nothing about the panthers or football in general. She looks up and says (paraphrasing) “that one guy has tiny arms. He doesn’t look like a football player at all. He’s small. He should work out or something.” I asked her which one. She says “number 9”. Was a funny moment. 
 

great game though today!

She would be our best college scout on day one.

If Bryce starts showing some damn consistency I will hop on the Bryce train and cheer him on. But for 3 years we have seen nothing but periods of bad, to really bad games, to maybe 1-2 games where he looks like a #1 pick. I still believe he is not the fit for this team. Just because you can “consistently” beat the falcons doesn’t mean your good.

These last couple games are gonna say a lot. Its tough game after tough game against playoff teams, not teams with 2 or 3 wins. 

All bryces best performances have come against relatively bad teams. Lets see if he can put a couple together against good ones. 

Yep, that's where it's been.  "NFL QBs" should produce on bad teams.  Now he's going into the thick of the playoff hunt.  He can't hide.  As much as I enjoyed the win Sunday, the reality is that Bryce hasn't been particularly good all year.  He'll have moments, but he's not been consistent in games.

I want to see Bryce come out and play with urgency.  I want him to attack defenses when they stack the box.  I want DC to let Bryce air it out, if that was ever a real problem.   Seeing so many of these weapons get involved Sunday was great, is it sustainable?  It needs to be.

I'm not super convinced there's a QB answer in the 2026 NFL draft so I'm cool running it back with Young, but he needs competition.  We need someone how is going to come after his job, not just be a buddy.

He is consistent. This game is the aberration.

like it’s one game. He did it last season against the falcons and fooled the team into doubling down on him.

bad qbs have weird good games against shitty teams. Look at what Jacoby brissett did yesterday against a much better team and with a much worse group of receivers.

Look at what Tyler Shough did last week

This was the first time that he's looked like a #1 pick to me but I agree totally. We can work with this as his ceiling but his floor needed to be "not bad" more often than not to make it sustainable. That's what a gamemanager is to me anyway. Rare that he's going to blow the top off a defense but the also rare that he chokes the game away. Bryce is not quite at the right ratio yet but the progress is encouraging.

    • I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased. 
    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
