So he'll produce in 4 seasons? Because that's how long Thielens been behind the scenes getting better 

No where did I say he would be a top round pick but this is the type of a player that makes a good team great.   Later round picks that turn into gems are what any team strives for.

It is amazing how everyone thinks if a player doesn't start right away.  He's garbage.  

I asked if anyone has heard of him and what they thought.

I wasn't suggesting that he'd be drafted, you said next Thielen so I thought you meant udfa project who could breakout eventually.

What’s funny is on the Dan Lebatard show, Thielen said it came down to Carolina and Minnesota. Wanna bet if he came her Ron and company would have cut him over Bersin?

Of course, Jerry wasn't letting his Wofford boy get the axe if it's between him and another project udfa

I'll keep saying it, Bersin shows up works his ace off and catches the ball.  He should get some respect for maximizing his talent.

Not saying he shouldn’t.

 

But 4 years ago if you had a UDFA Thielen that could develop into something, and played at a bigger school, or a 2 year practice squad player at the time in Bersin. Who do you think Ron would have kept?

Says he feels he is a four down WR.  Did you read the article.

This is just the type of receiver that excels in Turner's offense.

Because a four down receiver can convert the fake punt we run once every other year . . .

    • 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
