Levis has some ability. But such a bonehead. I wouldn’t want to put any trust in what I saw in Tennessee.

One thing, he may have had the big head a little thinking he had more rope than he had and now knows, probably, he blew it. 


I wonder if there is any sense of just give me one more chance and I will cut out the stupid stuff and listen. Is it possible he has matured?

Sign anyone that doesn't have the worst metrics for a starting qb in the last...well, ever. 

Getting the level of production we have now, doesn’t seem like it would be hard. If we just want a new fugup. Which we need better. 
I am ready to start the churn. Trot them out and see if we can find one that sticks.

Do we pick up his 5th?

A lot of that is going to greatly depend on how he finishes. We're about to get the whole picture of him in the next 5 games. If he can stop being in his own head and just freaking compete he MIGHT be ok. Again, we're about to see. Bryce needs to just stop over thinking everything and learn how to want to simply win at all cost.

You're willing to pay him 27m guaranteed 2 years from now based on the next 5 games? I don't even know how you could even entertain that based on what he's done the past 3 years. Even if you don't look at his stats, he has done nothing noticeable to improve his mechanics or footwork. It's the same now as it was in year 1.

I think the stupid stuff is coachable. I also think it is in fact a maturity intangible he could grow out of. Kid has a cannon for an arm and has size and mobility. Of course it's a gamble, but he's only 26. He shows passion when he's on the field and that what you want from your QB1. So if we could get him for the right price I think it's an option worth considering.

I can't disagree with that notion for sure. Yeah, he'd REALLY have to show great improvement. Basically, if we win the division, MAYBE it's worth considering, but you're right, is he worth it in the long run... maybe not.

Even if we win the division, I'd only let Bryce play out his 4th year at best. IMO, he's not done enough to actually fix his issues during his 3 years here. Those things were his to fix outside of team activities, with private coaching, etc. His lack of improvement to his craft is more telling to me than anything he's done on the field.

I agree... the improvements we saw at the end of last year just has not materialized this year. I wondered the same thing. Is Bryce REALLY putting in the work in the off-season and during the season to be the best QB1 he can be? There seems to be a competitive fire that is missing with Bryce. I've been rooting for the kid, I really have. But yeah, there's a point where you just have to be honest about it. In Houston, they're not asking this question, right?

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
