Dan Morgan interviews this week


Recommended Posts

It is pretty confounding that we are seeing this apparent double standard. One for everyone else, a different set of standards for Bryce. From size to performance they hold him to lower standards than they hold the other guys to. 

I say apparent because we don’t know for sure and coaches and by extension GMs do the coach speak shuffle .  because know the players are listening.

Overall I liked what Morgan had to say in both interviews. He clearly is very invested and connected/passionate about his job with this franchise. I just really hope he does not end up hinging all that on hitching himself to an albatross QB contract for a #1 pick who does not display high end or elite production.

I don't love it either, but it is what it is. There were no free agents that were the answer. We damn sure weren't spending a 2nd round pick on Carson Beck and Simpson went WAY too early. So BY gets a 1 year, $26M extension. If he somehow magically gets really good it'll seem like a bargain. If not...well, that's the cost of doing business.

Every team in the league has this double standard. It’s just the reality of the position.

I think the Sam Darnold situation looms large over this org.

Tepper will not let Bryce go unless he is 100% sure he’ll never improve.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
