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.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
