I don't think I'm sleeping on him but I have realistic expectations for him. I think if he is used correctly as a slot receiver he should be productive. As far as his rookie season goes, I don't know if you can expect to see him anything higher than the #4 receiver (at best).

Don't want to see him returning punts, that's for sure.

I think anybody that was asleep woke the fug up when we all saw his speed on that 4th qtr touchdown play... Very reminsant of DeAngelo's play as a rookie a few years back on a swing pass in his rookie pre-season debut. The speed was blinding! ^He can and will definitely spread the field which will help everybody else on the field.

I agree the guy is talented and may have a future but we need to calm down. The other scenario is that a seasoned former pro bowl qb exposed a 3rd team/scrub defense and gave Pilares an easy six. As crazy as this sounds it is much more plausible than Pilares being All-World.

That article stated that to compare Pilares to Smitty is impossible at this point, because Smitty has a resume and Pilares has an exhibition.

But Pilares has a resume as well. He has been an athlete pretty much his whole life. He played in HS and college, as well as played 2 different positions: RB and WR. Not to mention a ton of other sports.

That tells me the guy can carry the ball and run routes. He at least has some knowledge of the two positions, and can carry some of the ball carrying skills of RB into the WR position.

Plus, the kid is fast, or quick, or whatever. But he has ability that is for sure. All it comes down to now is coaching, and retention of information, all while keeping the basics of catching, ball carrying, and athleticism. We shall see how it goes.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
