He is neither fast nor quick 

More so than Erickson.

Despite that I'm honestly fine with Erickson. I'm not holding my breath every time he's receiving a punt and his awareness on chasing down the football after it touched the foot of his teammate was pretty clutch.

Maybe I read that wrong…I meant Ericson is not fast or quick. He secures the ball for sure which is much better than than not and the heads up play with the live-ball recovery was crucial. There’s just no threat of him gaining more than 10 yards on returns.

Reminds me of Bersin… I mean like they’re both white.

Zylstra is much better than Bersin, but I'm not sure if I would consider him Proehl-lite either.  I guess he's in the middle somewhere.

Zylstra came out and caught a pass just about each time he was on the field. There are plays, I'd guess, that are drawn up just for him. Opposing teams see him as 5th or 6th on the depth chart thinking he's just a scrub and worthy of single coverage by a LB or maybe a safety. Truth is that there's a murderer's row sitting in front of him and he's good, sneaky good.

Good on him! Enough games like that and we'll sadly be waving 'bye to him this offseason while he goes and gets the big check somewhere.

    • we got spoiled having superman and even then...he wasn't enough. superman was a fluke. there are incredibly unrealistic expectations for a first round QB, especially a first overall pick. people look at the short term, first year, rather than what you might get the next 10 and they also think that what you see the first year or two is what you get the rest of the time.  it just doesn't work like that. these guys are all young and a work in progress. you draft on potential. what it takes to reach that potential is different for everyone and it all depends on the situation they fall into, the player pieces around them, the scheme they either put him in or develop around him (the latter is better), and the coaching they give him. then there's also the work the player has to put into it. the work they put into is is the only thing they can control. the rest is just luck. 
    • I actually agree with everything you've said here. My comment was directed to the posters who feel the need to derail threads with the same Bryce talking points over and over again. It's just tiresome, even if what they're saying has some truth to it.
    • That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it is off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. It buys nothing. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of taking the team to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.
