Been pimping this guy for a while now, but he is slowly starting to get his due. Especially after having a good day in a win against PSU today.

Will be likely a first or second day pick guaranteed.

His game translates. He is smart, plays in a NFL style offense, and has just enough swagger.

i keep hearing his name being brought up as someone who will rise this season. who does he compare to?

That is a good question that I don't have a good answer to.

He has good size, he is 6'4 230, has decent zip on the ball, but i am not sure how good he is vertically down field. But he is smart and doesn't make bad decisions. He also seems to be confident. Not cocky and demonstrative but he has just a little swagger which I like in a QB.

I'm not saying he is the next great QB or anything. But he is a guy flying under the radar that will go in the first three rounds.

If I had to pick a guy in the NFL that he reminds me of it would be Matt Schaub.

Word around the league is Schaub is holing his team back. So I'm not sure that's a compliment to be similar to him.

Unless you have one of the elites everyone (fans/media) thinks their QB is holding their team back.

Schaub is a good QB

Also, I was just trying to think of someone he reminded me of. They aren't exactly alike

All Bortles everything. He has been so efficient against good teams this season. Just beat Louisville. Already beat Penn State. And took the Cocks to the brink

He still reminds me of Matt Schaub though who is not popular at the moment. He could be a good game manager who could be effective if you put great players around him. But he won't carry an offense.

I'm just bumping this up because I was pimping him before it became cool to pimp him :lol:

Now he is getting to dangerously overrated level as now people are saying possible first or second round.

I still think he is a third round pick. I still think he is a guy that will need playmakers around him, and that he can't simply carry an NFL offense.

He also still reminds me of a better Matt Schaub.

Moving on up! Heard he had a good combine. I didn't expect him to go first round. I stand by my eval that he can be a solid starting QB but more of a game manager. His stock his probably too high right now. But I like him and was on this train before most draftniks even knew who he was.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
