Tou think he can overcome his limitations?    And being patient requires an ext.   You up for doing that? 

Being overly critical of him up to this point, warranted or not, won't change the fact that he's still our QB1. Two of our franchise greats have been undersized for their positions, and they overcame their limitations. Why couldn't it happen a third time? Bryce has proven that he has heart, to me, this year so maybe a little bit more time (length of his rookie contract) will see the draft pick bear good fruit.

Thats a bit simplistic comparing a qb to a wr and linebacker  

 

And for us to have patience that requires an ext.  You ready to do that?

He`s not what you should be happy with in a #1 overall along with everything else we gave up. You are going to be on a constant roller coaster with him. However, even on the ups, its still only average and not good enough with only 1-3 games a year that he plays like he should. Then on the downs, its REALLY down. Like he shouldnt even be in the league kind of downs. He does just enough though to make Tepper want to keep him around. I still wont be shocked at an extension that comes at the end of next year which will further extend this hell ride.

I answered that in my post. If picking up his 5th year is considered an extension then yes.

Yeah we're praising him for things 31 other starters and most backups are supposed to be able to do. And then at the same time folks are blaming anyone and everyone when he falls short.

By patience I thought you meant past his rookie contract.  

 

He gets next year then comes the hard part. 

They gotta pick up the option this off season though.  So yeah if he's still the same guy in a year we're on the hook for that no matter what.  They're gonna pick it up.

$27M backup if he stinks next year and we draft someone in 2027. 2027 QB FA will also have a lot better options for competition than this upcoming year.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
