I decided to do a statistical analysis to find out. I used Pro Football Reference's list of his game-winning drives (GWD) for this. tl:dr; Bryce deserves no credit for two games, partial credit for either two or three games, and broadly deserves credit for the rest. Only 2 of the GWD are of no credit to him at all. 2023 Week 7 vs. Houston (15-13) Full-game statline - 22/31 (70.9%), 235 passing yards, 1 touchdown Final drive - Drive began on the Carolina 9 yard line with 6:17 left in the 4th quarter, down 13-12. Bryce accounted for 55 total yards on the drive (50 passing, 5 rushing); Chuba ran for 13, and the Texans gave up 28 yards on penalties. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Yes. Bryce accounted for all offensive yardage before reaching the Texans 30. Week 14 vs. Atlanta (9-7) Full-game statline - 18/24 (75%), 167 passing yards Final drive - Drive began on the Carolina 5 yard line with 7:35 left in the 4th quarter, down 7-6. Bryce threw for 68 yards on the drive and kneeled three times when in field goal range. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Yes. Bryce accounted for all but 20 yards on the drive. 2024 Week 9 vs. New Orleans (23-22) Full-game statline - 16/26 (61.5%), 171 passing yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception Final drive - Drive began on the Carolina 34 with 3:25 left in the 4th. Bryce threw for 26 yards, and drew a 22-yard pass interference penalty. Chuba Hubbard scored the game-winning 16-yard touchdown. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Yes. Passing and pass interference accounted for all but 16 yards on the drive. Week 10 vs. New York Giants (20-17) Full-game statline - 15/25 (60%), 121 passing yards, 1 touchdown; 30 rushing yards Final drive - Drive began in overtime at the New York 23-yard line immediately after the Giants fumbled the first snap. Chuba ran three times. Bryce did not throw a pass. Does Bryce deserve credit? - No. Bryce literally did nothing on this one due to generous field position in overtime. Week 15 vs. Arizona (36-30) Full-game statline - 17/26 (65.4%), 158 passing yards, 1 touchdown; 68 rushing yards, 1 touchdown Final drive - Drive began on the Arizona 49 with 4:11 left in overtime. Chuba ran twice for 49 yards and a touchdown. Does Bryce deserve credit? - No. Bryce literally did nothing on this one. Week 17 at Atlanta (44-38) Full-game statline - 25/34 (73.5%), 251 passing yards, 3 touchdowns; 24 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns Final drive - Drive began on the Carolina 30 at the start of overtime. Bryce threw for 56 yards; Miles Sanders scored the game-winning one-yard touchdown. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Yes. Bryce accounted for the vast majority of yards on this drive. 2025 Week 5 vs. Miami (27-24) Full-game statline - 19/30 (63.3%), 198 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception Final drive - Drive began at the Carolina 17. Bryce completed three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown; there were also three runs for 33 yards by other players Does Bryce deserve credit? - Yes. Bryce accounted for the majority of yards and the game-winning touchdown. Week 6 vs. Dallas (30-27) Full-game statline -17/25 (68%), 199 passing yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception Final drive - Final drive began at the Carolina 14 with 6:07 left in the fourth. 37 yards were recorded on the ground, while Bryce threw for 25 yards and drew a 12-yard pass interference penalty. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Partially. No one player stood out on this drive. Week 9 at Green Bay (16-13) Full-game statline - 11/20 (55%), 102 passing yards, 1 interception Final drive - Final drive began at the Carolina 29 with 2:28 left in the fourth. Rico recorded 21 rushing yards while Bryce threw for 19 yards. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Equal credit with Rico. Both recorded nearly identical yardage totals. Week 11 at Atlanta (30-27) Full-game statline - 31/45 (68.9%), 448 passing yards, 3 touchdowns Final drive - Final drive began at the Carolina 31 with 8:45 left in overtime. Bryce threw one pass to Tommy Tremble for 54 yards. Does Bryce deserve credit? - Tommy Tremble deserves the most credit here, but Bryce threw the pass. In conclusion: there's really only two games here he did nothing in. The rest he gets at least some or a majority of the credit. -

Agree 100%. Hands are definitely underrated as a tool when compared to separation. Either way you gotta thread the needle in this league. I'll take Mr Fantastic that catches anything in a 12 foot radius any day of the week. -
Am I alone in thinking elite speed is overrated? Elite speed in the NFL just means you have a little more separation, which matters a lot less when you've got elite hands. And T-Mac has elite hands. Between T-Mac and Coker, I've learned that the #1 thing I want in a WR is a guy who makes catching the ball look easy. Speed. Route-running. Agility. None of that matters if we can't count on you to bring it in when the ball comes your way.
