A change did Beavers good

seems cocky to me...thats not always a bad thing for a WR but coming for D3and being as small as he is..IDK

It would seem impossible to expect Beavers to generate those kinds of gaudy numbers as a professional; even Chicago's All-Pro Devin Hester scored on 8.7 percent of his returns during his breakthrough rookie season in 2006, a season that is the recent standard-bearer for NFL returners.

But he feels that his skills on returns will bridge the massive gap between Division III and the NFL.

"The numbers don't lie at all," he said with confidence.

I see it as a spout of confidence. Would you really want someone on the team saying "Yeah my numbers wont be close to that." Or something along those lines? That'd sound to me like he's throwing in the towel and expecting to be cut without much effort put in to try and stay.

Yeah, I take it more as confidence than arrogance. Not to slight Mark Jones, who was our best returner since Smith, but if someone with Jones' speed can do what he did last year, what do you think Beavers could do?

But it was his work on special teams that drew NFL attention, particularly in a senior season last fall that saw him score on eight of his 30 total returns -- an incredible 26.7 percent of his runbacks.

Beavers' gaudy averages last year -- 39.5 per kickoff return; 29.2 per punt return -- ensured that someone, somewhere would notice and bring him into an NFL camp

Just thought I would post the part of the article which tells some of his stats from college. The NFL is different but skills is skills

I thought change could lead to yeast infections for beavers...could be wrong though.

Beavers will be fine. He just needs to make sure he showers and scrubs after practice to wash all the sweat and funk off. A hot and smelly Beavers is not good during press conferences.

    • 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
