Outside of the Rams all the teams listed sucked the year prior.
At some point we’re gonna have to stop with the whataboutism for Bryce and actually point to what he’s doing well. I’m tired of hearing about other QBs who were also bad. Why don’t we just focus on what he is and isn’t doing well
This is actually an interesting graphic for those of us that want to at least try and be optimistic rather than bitch and cry and just give up on the next two to three years. You know we’re down bad when positivity is like, frowned upon lmao.
Burrow had Jamar Chase at wide receiver. But his offensive line was notoriously bad, they looked absolutely terrible and Burrow ended up suffering a horrible injury.
Lawrence was 3-14 his rookie year. The Jaguars were the worst team in the league and earned the # 1 pick in the very next draft. Full disclosure, Lawrence’s rookie year was the Urban Meyer year.
Whether it was due to coaching or the players around them, these guys looked objectively bad their first year. Changes were made and they turned things around. Just goes to show it’s not completely impossible.
Yeah buddy, that graphic doesn’t mean dick. We’ve seen two more games of Bryce, and they were two of his worst. He should have another 4 INTs on there, granted the Bears didn’t convert on either of the easy opportunities they had last night. None of this shit matters man. I don’t care what other people did. I don’t care what CJ Stroud is doing. I care what Bryce is doing. Bryce lost us the last two games, he lost us our first two games. He probably lost us Minnesota. He’s not good right now. The approach that has been taken to coach him and scheme that has been implemented around him are both awful, but he can’t be blameless at this point.
The trade to go get him is already a lost cause, because the only way it’s worthwhile is if we’re a borderline playoff team. At this point it doesn’t matter. He’s our guy next year, hopefully with a new staff and scheme. But don’t get this twisted, if we still had our first this year, with the way he’s playing right now, he’d be getting the Josh Rosen.
Key difference here is that almost all these teams had a ton of draft capital after a bad rookie year to load up and build around their qb. We’re just perpetually in purgatory
