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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
