Why?   You are not doing a good job explaining your opinion 

He doesn't need to, because it's obvious.

We're winning games and in the playoff hunt, for Tepper and this fanbase after how bad we've been for so long, that's always going to be enough at this point.

Bryce hasn't earned that extension getting picked up, but when you're in the playoff hunt at this point in the season after how our last decade has been, it's going to get that QB's option picked up almost no matter what.

And that's the problem, we're going to screw our long term future because people can't look past wins.

And I also have to be clear, this isn't a Bryce bashing post based on today, he did just play one of his better games of the season just by way of not making bad mistakes and by making a couple well placed throws.

But having said that, it also need to be pointed out that it's not a recipe for long term sustained success either.  It's the recipe for those teams that have random years of hovering around .500 before falling back to earth the next season because the ball isn't bouncing their way every week.

We won.

And believe it or not this was a genuinely relevant game, the kind we haven't had in years.

That matters...a lot 😐

Yeah, but if the running game had of been stopped we would have lost. Yes, Bryce played well and did what was asked of him. But if we had of had to rely on him passing the game would have been a much different story.

This game shouldn't move the needle at all when it come to giving Bryce his 5th year.

I think we gotta roll with Dave. He’s had his head scratchers, but I think that is him trying to limit the mistakes with Bryce. We can be aggressive and trust his gut we are usually in a good place.

now on to the problem. Bryce. Unfortunately we have to take the 5th year on Bryce. We can’t afford to go into the season with dalton as back up though. I think we need a vet that can threaten him, that fits well with the scheme. And then draft a QB. I really hope we don’t offer Bryce a long term deal though, but this team is a few pieces away from being really good and QB is one of them.

hopefully we can retain Evero. I think he’s shown us what he can do when he has the personnel I like. We get him a good linebacker that can assist in the run game plus a good pass rushing DE and we have a top 10 defense. 
 

LB, DE, QB and OL should be our top priorities moving forward. But to be quite honest I’m hopeful. I just don’t know what the heck Bryce is. And unfortunately he hasn’t shown much up until this season, and even still I feel he is mediocre at best. But if you build the right roster around him we may could still make a push.

but damnit a drake maye style guys sets us over the top and back in contender conversations

That’s what I’m saying, I guess we forget all about the majority of his games which have been poo. Maybe he’s assuming the team will mess up and pick it up like I have been assuming? 

Because that's how it's trending...strongly trending.

It'd take something damn near biblical at this point to change course.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
