When’s the last time we drafted a natural, effortless, hands catcher?

I mean, some of you are trying to act like Moore had perfect hands. Nah. Moreover, I dont believe Legette is a body catcher. He leaves a few on the field too, but he knows how to go up and get them also.

That's going to take some review, because he sure as heck was today. He jumped unnecessarily in that 2 point attempt last week too, and I'd have to watch again but I don't think he needed to jump and it was a body catch too. If it's over his head or whenever he has to reach for it, then no body catch. That's my general impression.

Seriously he’s a rookie and looks better as a rookie than DJ Moore did.  Stop with nonsense overreacting 

Peoples’ expectations… Smitty was a body catcher as well, just saying. Smitty had Prohel, X has Thielen. X seems very teachable. His routes today were pretty crisp. This was a BIG moment today for big country. Sometimes we can get in to our own head. 

It would be pretty cool for everyone to scream X!!! When dude makes a big play. Get his confidence going. 

Jury is out on Mingo. Last year was a complete disaster. I’m willing to see what he’s got this season. He seems to like trucking dudes.

I was super impressed with his route running, he looked like a veteran

It looked like he lost a catch letting it get into his body though. So it isn't nothing. And every criticism isn't putting him on Bryce level suck, but it's something he needs to work on.

He had his first TD, it wasn't all bad.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
