I just hope they wont let his past issues (ie. punching a teammate in the face) play a role

 

I almost think may ultimately end up helping him... In a way...

 

We've seen him grow and develop before our eyes and it's part of his story, but it's also help him build a rep as a fierce and tough, unique player.

 

 

He's got a unique personality to him that will help him stand out from other guys who just pile up numbers.

Smitty still has plenty left in the tank, but we need to get a legit WR in next years draft to help him.

 

On this matter, I've been trying to update my sig and the Huddle won't let me. Says it can't go more than 4 lines even though I'm not adding any lines.

 

 

 

Any fixes?

 

Zod changed it recently, 4 lines max now.

Cris Carter is the measuring stick.

 

Cris Carter's best season was in 1995 where he made the pro-bowl and had 1371 yards. Even with those numbers, that was only 7th best that year.

 

Carter has never been higher than 7th in receiving yards in a season....Ever.

 

It took Carter 7 seasons to get 1,000 yards...barely getting by with 1071 yards.

 

The only thing that Carter has on Steve is longevity (16 seasons to 13) and touchdowns (130 to 66)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
