Brenton Bersin continues to impress

Lots of players can catch a football. This team needs dynamic play makers (every good team has one or more) not someone who can catch a ball and fall down (we already have Olson for that). I have no problem if he makes the squad as a 5th-6th receiver but we have GOT to get better options on the field. As a backup that rarely sees the field or plays special teams, fine.

Unless Bersin got stronger over the offseason I just don't see it. Too many times we saw him get knocked off his route or jammed at the line. Bersin could be a effective slot guy, more so than Cotchery potentially so I'd be ok with keeping him as a 5th or 6th.

 

it was more than 1 play...

​I think everyone is hoping that Funchess will be a dynamic playmaker.. and that bringing back Ted and the development of Corey Brown will provide the offense with enough weapons.  I wouldn't say we have GOT to get better options. The answer might already be on the roster.

he was arguably better than crotchety and jason avant last year.

​Bersin had 13 catches for 151 yards and 1 TD

Jason Avant had 201 yards and 1 TD with us, another 152 with the Chiefs.

Cotchery had 580 yards and 1 TD.  

So according to stats, no, no he wasn't better and you couldn't argue he was better.

Let's be real here, Cotchery hung around last year because he's a good team guy and a mentor.  With a year under benjamin's belt, I won't be surprised one bit if he's gone.

​And with Ginn back.  Ginn's entering his 9th season IIRC.  Cotch is going to have to show something special if he's to make the roster.  It doesn't seem like he had much chemistry with Cam last year.

​You are basing the idea that Bersin should never be a primary read off of one play.

Not really,I said primary read to encompass any plays featuring bersin not just based off the seattle debacle. What I was saying is that I'm fine with bersin giving our top guya a play off, but when he's in there he shouldn't be the target of designed bubble screens, fades, etc. Don't feature bersin but let him catch a first down or two with the the attention on KB, funch, or Olsen.

​Unless you actually knew what you were talking about and took into account number of active games and snaps.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
