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.

I understand that. I have said that multiple places.  Commenting on all the ‘big man’s game’ and wanting to introduce competition to every room comments that are at odds with his Beyce comments

Morgan talked about it at length today on FNZ, that they like their players big and it shrinks the field which was comical in the grand scheme of things

He said on WFNZ this morning his comments were misunderstood. There’s no timeline on the extension. I think they’re going to wait until after the season and see where they are with  Bryce.

Well, yeah. It is hard to know what is the whole truth is there. 

Like what I said initially, coach speak.  The players are listening.  And that word ‘apparent’, it makes it seem apparent. Still may not be what it seems.

Are there some magic beans sitting around somewhere that can give him elite physical tools overnight?

More like if you eat those magic beans you will believe he has those tools.

I don't think there are enough hallucinogens in the world.

What has he done to deserve an extension, I don’t understand 

He made the playoffs!

 

I heard, at least twice and from different sources, about our late season playoff push and the actual words “playoff run”. 
 

And these were media analysts. 
 

I don’t know how these narratives take hold but they do. (It is like big time throws and deep balls lol).

I think the QB position is over hyped these days and all of these record contracts don't seem to be working because they lose other good players.  No idea why they'd consider a Bryce extension unless they can get him cheap and they think he can cut down on the turnovers and be a game manager.

The Bucs collapsed due to huge injuries and the saints were turning it around, just ran out of time. We backed into playoffs losing the two huge games to end the season. To me, waiting to see how he does this season and then discuss contract extension is the smart move. Putting this out in the atmosphere now seems misguided.

That was in reference to the defensive side, makes it difficult to find open windows and running lanes.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
