Get ready because that is exactly what Bryce can do. See that ridiculous 30 yard Thielen pass this Sunday. Going to see a lot more of that as this kid gets comfortable 

Its like all qbs...rapport with WR's...whos that on this team besides Thielen....Mingo and Chark need to help Bryce out and step up... Be nice if one of th 5 TE's could get open to help...Bryce will see the dudes getting open...Not sure how this is to gel but it needs to...

This play again? He spun away from pressure, which was good, and chucked an ill-advised ball downfield to a well-covered receiver for a fortunate catch. It was a good outcome this time, yes, but the throw itself was not very good and will end badly a notable portion of the time if he keeps it up like that.

As I said in another thread, he made many throws and plays today that were much better than this.

Gonna disagree with you here. Spinning out of pressure and keeping your eyes downfield then finding your best receiver who has his man beat with back to you and is hanging onto him. You take that shot 10/10.

The shot was short and inside, a very dangerous location, and Thielen did not have him beat - the CB was literally in his pocket and if he turns his head that's a breakup, if not pick. It was not a good throw. Get it over Thielen's head and out of danger and perhaps, but we are so starved for QB play that this type of lucky slop (in the pool-shot sense) completion gets lauded. The TD throw was notably more impressive IMO.

This is the kind of thing that helps understand why you really need a smart player in the quarterback spot.

 

"Smart" is not neccessarly the defining trait here..........more like reactive........such as in a predatory situational awareness as a trait needed for survival...........not planned contemplation as that's over when a play breaks down as shown here.

Fast processing is part of being smart.

Maybe, but then it's processing and not 'smart'. I had the same thought watching this video. It's great football instinct, discipline, and athleticism, but not particularly 'smart' in the traditional sense as the other poster described it.

I put them in the same category. Basically, "brains" as opposed to brawn.

It's ultimately semantics...

Wait a sec… is this THE same Joe Burrow who sucked as a rookie but now is considered among the best? If I use the logic that so many others do Joey B should be flipping burgers or making Iced lattes.

He did not suck as a rookie lol. He played ten games, had 4 300 yard passing games and a 400 yard passing game. He had his team in every game but 3 or so until the end. And they were a true bad team the year before.
