You do have a minimal understanding of physics, correct?

Buddy I aced Physics I and II just to TAKE my entrance exam for my program. I'm not going to be impressed by you trying to F=MV me. 

Besides I know all about getting stuck under 300 pounds of human. Tell your mom I said hi.

Looks like the guys got his leg up his ass.  Gonna have to amputate.

that's actually a tibfib. and yeah we amputated eventually. Surgeon "stabilized" it first so the patient could understand what happened before they went in and did the final revision.

i have seen a proximal femur fracture retracted into the pelvic girdle. tractor accident, which are low key the worst things you've ever seen. nerve damage, pissing blood, no rectal tone, just awful. Straight to surgery.

This is spot on, with the first 5 years of a QBs contract being so pivotal, as it should, unless you have Pat Mahomes or the reincarnation of Tom Brady, stats shows once the qb gets paid, the teams Super Bowl chances shrink significantly 

what we did to get Bryce was idiotic to say the least, not because of the player(not a Bryce endorsement) but because there’s a long history of proof, making big swings at qb, are usually big misses 

find the identify, build around that, and go from there. Unfortunately we don’t have one, and neither the defense nor offense side of the ball are more than good at best

Both were hard to watch. No doubt. I just know that when watching Clausen I was actively screaming at the TV for his inept play. Bryce, I more felt bad for? Different feelings of frustration.

I laughed at that because I get it.  I didn’t want Bryce. At all.

But when he stepped on the field vs Atlanta game one 2023, he was even worse than I thought he would be. I was kind of in shock.  It hit me pretty hard, what our situation was, that day.  
 

And looking at what we did to get him vs Clausen, I was just sick.  We gave up so much. Set the team back years.

@kungfoodudeare you still wanting to talk to me about force related injuries? This was a patient of mine about two hours after what caused it.

can you tell me what you’re even looking at here?

Yet for your proof of concept for how Bryce could never play in the old NFL you showed a clip of 6-2, 195 Ike Taylor(a DB) hitting 6-0, 190 Pat White?

So it's not physics you don't understand, it's actual size(and possibly football positions?

    • 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.
