As someone who has not liked Bryce throughout the season…

[Panthering]

You have to pick up the option for too many reasons:

1) There isn’t an obvious plan B right now

2) He just played well in a home playoff game 

3) it financially makes sense 

4) we need to allocate resources elsewhere ( defense)

Agreed 100%, particularly pass rushers.  I would still look in this years draft somewhere between rounds 4 and 7 for a project QB, and possibly sign a free agent to push the the red rocket.  We need a plan if Bryce fails to continue to improve.  I was telling some one the other day if we had a QB with the size and tools of Cam, but with the brains of Bryce we would have a dynasty in the making.

nope.....  going soft in the last defensive series was the issue 

 

Both things were major issues, cannales last four play calls were the worst ive seen all season.... four consecutive mid to deep level to the boundary routes when they blitzed and left the short middle wide the eff open.... when you need 30 yards to get a fg attempt with 3 time outs he went full retard those plays would be understandable if it was a no time out situation but he had 3 that was god f*cking awful playcalling on offense.

Did they run the "throw it hot to TMAC on a quick slant" read option at any other point this year. Looks like Bryce can do that really well.

i am going to wait until the all 22 comes out before i make judgement. sometimes on tv we think that that only routes we see are the ones he called, but it can also be that bryce just didnt throw them. Kurt warners breakdown of bryce shows that he leaves some plays on the field. he is most comfortable to the boundaries and outside the numbers not in the middle of the field.

It was Cardinals game 2.0 at the end. Those two end of game possessions were mirror images of one another. He either learns and grows, or this becomes a one year wonder. I hope he figures it out. Before today I could not envision Bryce holding the trophy having his Foles "wow" moment. After today, you can at least see a path.

Improve the defense, maybe Brooks becomes a dude, Tmac and Coker become a force. Bryce plays at his ceiling more than a handful of times a year. There's a path if they keep improving. It won't be easy, next year is a freaking hellscape schedule wise. But if they make it out alive next year, they've arrived.

I have all 22 as well and ive already went and watched the last drive over in slow motion with the TV feed, its possible but on that footage there was NO ONE AND I MEAN NOTHING no defenders or tes or wrs in the middle 10 yard range right after the snap.

I made 250$ singling Stafford for 1 int at +165... people bet things based on opening odds, because most betters dont know how to bet value, beyce over .5 int opened at -164

 Rude has shown that he has the ability to win and play great games. It 100% only comes down to consistency for next year. If freaking Mayfield and Darnold can turn it around, I believe Bryce can too.

Gotta go back and watch how shorter QBs have found ways to attack the middle of the field. I cant imagine how frustrating it is to have talent and be limited by one thing you cant control, your size.

Ive seen enough to say the first pick of the draft doesn't need to be QB. But backup certainly needs an upgrade. We need help BAD in the middle of the defense.

That alone is amazing. There is a path to him becoming what we need.

Bryce played overall pretty good. Playcalling was again awful for much of the game on offense
