This is Bryces year to put up or shut up. If the team gets improved around him

How many years are we going to keep saying this?

I begrudgingly accept the 5th year option only because the 5th year is not guaranteed.  We can get out after next year if he doesn’t throw down. 
History says he will not demonstrate his worthiness most of the year and then near the end he will somehow do just enough to keep the flame burning.  I feel like we are really and truly stuck. 

 

In theory we can get out but its going to cost us.  Thats why picking up the 5th was always stupid.  If he hasnt shown he is the franchise guy by year 4 what the fug is giving him a 5th going to do?

I'm just speaking on the staff picking up the option... I've been said we need another guy in that room...

wasnt directed at you personally just saying the supporters are saying he is "progressing" but at some point he either is the guy or isnt.  His "progression" is at a damn snails pace and you simply cannot afford to ride him out for 5 years hoping he makes a monumental leap.

Your comment is ironic considering it's in a thread about Sam Darnold.

Who didn't play well in the NFL until his 7TH season!

 

Now I'm not advocating that we would or should ever keep Bryce around longer than next season unless he plays great. 

 

But I think Sam (and Baker to a certain extent) have shown that QBs can still continue to develop after many years in the league.
