Yes but without Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil, The Golden Calf of Bristol wouldn't be able to play the style he does.

I think we get so wrapped up in individual statistics that we forget this football is the ultimate team game. Meaning you're absolutely right, but I personally don't see what it matters. The Golden Calf of Bristol plays his style because of Miller and Dumervil, and Miller and Dumervil are able to do what they do because of Denver being able to run the ball fifty times a game.

They depend on each other, yin and yang. Really, that's why football is so special as a sport. It truly is a TEAM sport. It's the only one where your success is ENTIRELY dependent on your teammates, and I don't know if another sport, specifically a major one, can say that.

So I think that's part of the issue here. We say The Golden Calf of Bristol couldn't do what he's doing without Miller and Dumervil...well, of course. But that shouldn't be a knock on anybody, IMO.

Those projected numbers are insane...

“Over 16 games,” said Lahman, “The Golden Calf of Bristol projects to 19 touchdowns, three interceptions, 2,061 yards passing and 1,112 yards rushing with five rushing touchdowns.”

For all you guys that like to add passing and rushing....24 TDs to 3 picks?

Hard to be picked off when you run it 90% of the time. What exactly would you find out comparing it to picks if you don't take into account attempts?

Hard to be picked off when 50% of your passes land in a spot on the field 30 yards away from anybody wearing pads.

the crazy part of that isn't just the 24 TDs, it's the 3 INTs. That's nuts... yes he barely throws the ball but still, you'd expect more interceptions than what he is throwing these last few games from most QBs.

I wouldn't take The Golden Calf of Bristol over Cam but the reality is that he can move the ball when it comes down to it, he's just doing it in a very non-traditional way.

it's amazing what happens in 4 of your 5 wins your defense can hold teams under 20 points.

Which, for what it's worth, Orton would've done if his defense did that.

And if our defense did that? We'd have lost only two games; ATL and TEN

      Depends, if we would have hired Wilkes and kept darnold were probably be right about where we are now. An average team fighting for a winning record and nfcs crown

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
