Thanks LP...
I'm happy that the season is approaching as well. I have to admit though that BY is still unproven. He DID improve late last year, but still a long way to go -- IMO. This is year three. He should be WELL established at this point. Maybe he will continue to improve (let's hope..!!).
I know folks don't like to hear this, BUT... my major concerns is still his size. I admit, I favor a much larger stronger QB with a BIG arm. Bryce just doesn't fit "the mold" of a NFL QB destined for greatness.
I'm constantly reminded of Tua Tagovailoa. He is bigger (stronger) than BY but he too was a S L O W developing QB. He didn't become really effective until year three. So, like Tua, Bryce might show some additional promise this year. The problem is... Tua has now sort of "hit a wall" mostly because of his size. He has taken a lot of hits from NFL size D-players and now is holding forth with MAJOR head injury (concussion) issues. I expect that Tua will shortly be forced to leave football due to health issues.
AND Bryce is quite a bit smaller than Tua. I think we've hitched our wagon to the wrong horse. There are so very, VERY few undersize QBs in the league that it's almost not worth the effort to contemplate..... (I mean QBs that are less than 6'0" and less than 200 lbs..) Bryce is 5'10" and plays at about 185.... --- Scary.
Oh well ... I really hope that he doesn't get hurt. But, I sort of expect it to happen on every play.
