Can’t disagree. Anointed. Hated it then, would hate it again. 
Entitlement type of crap and honestly it is unAmerican lol. 
 
There is a lot gained when you and others know you have earned your way. Respect from self and from from coworkers comes with that. 

Honestly, it's supremely American. Hand picked employee loved by the owner getting every opportunity while the other employees struggle to make up for his mistakes?  Sounds right.

People will still blame Dave Canales knowing we have the worst QB in the league.

That is worldwide. Sure it happens here too. 
The American way is work you way up the ladder. Hard work. Not afraid to get your hands dirty. Or it used to be.  
 

or marry the boss’s daughter, that always works too.

And he isn’t faultless.  By any means.  But I agree you can’t fairly evaluate anyone with Bryce.

Kyler is not that good but has more natural talent than Bryce, he is actually fast and has a big arm.

Bryce could never reach Kylers level and we should want better than that anyway.

Oh, I absolutely want better!  When our QBs ceiling is another QB level that nobody wants...there's your sign.

How hard was it really for people to look at him and assess his physical ceiling? 
He is historically tiny and has zero tools that are above average for NFL players.  Not a single one. And sub average arm strength.

Hello?

You didn’t even have to get into his atrocious footwork and throwing mechanics.

His horrible footwork and throwing mechanics is a direct function or his lack of arm strength and height.  He has to bounce on his toes to see over the O-line and he has to wind up to get any resemblance of zip on a deeper ball.  Thus why Canales is always trying to roll him out of the pocket. It's not that he's some magician out of the framework, it's literally the only way he can play in the NFL.  

In short (ha-ha) his lack of an overall NFL physique doesn't just impede his play, it's because of his slightness that creates bad technique and affects his overall underwhelming play.

Yeah that tiptoe backpedal is a first. Never saw that before. It was  … I don’t know the word, but baffling and horrifying at the same time. baffifying. 
It doesn’t strain credulity it obliterates it. 
 

And FWIW I don’t say that to demean him, I say it to demean the common sense of people who looked at that and thought “yeah, he is worth the 1.1”. 
WTF are people looking at?

Sure it has. That is why nobody wants to come here, because  you can’t get anywhere through hard work.

I've accepted that Bryce will, at the very least, be here next year.

At this point, I'm just hoping for some competition. Cut Dalton, sign Gardner Minshew or Geno Smith as a veteran, a draft someone like Joe Fagnano from UConn in day 3 of the draft.
