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.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
