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.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
