So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

Yes, I don’t think it should happen, but after this game, they will use it as ammo to extend him. 

That would be a very Tepper's Panthers thing to do. I honestly don't expect it though. I really think they'll use the rest of this season to determine whether or not we pick up his 5th year option. I honestly don't think an extension is in the cards at this point barring an absolutely lightning in a bottle type run of Bryce playing great and us getting to at least the NFC CG and losing despite Bryce playing hero ball. So yeah, extremely unlikely.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Interesting you say? Tell me which game this year Bryce has put up garbage time numbers?

is this a joke? 

if we're being honest he's not even had as good of garbage time production this year compared to last.

I mean, depending upon how you look at it, you could say all the games but this last one.

Six more games like yesterday, sure.

Yesterday alone?

I still doubt they pick up the 5th.

I think Canales is solid though

I don’t think he is. I think I’ve figured out what he really wants to do offensively and I hate it.

Don't we have until May 1, 2026 to exercise the fifth year option for Bryce? If so, i think we take a wait and see approach since next year is still a bargain for us.  It would be so stupid to give BY an extension.  He will be here in '26 though.

IMO he figured out the RB rotation, has gotten better at end of half/game time management, the play calling still has a lot to be desired but I think he is improving

 

my 2 cents

To my knowledge that has only happened once so it may be a bit awkward if thats the case

I made an entire thread about all the reasons this is not a realistic option for either the team or Bryce.

They either pick up his fifth or he’s gone.

Its like in Angels in the Outfield when he just told the kid he'd get with his mom if the Angels won the pennant.  He just never thought it would happen.

Yeah sorry kid there's no way I can live with that bitch.
