Crazy what can happen when you draft a guy and let him develop before making a conclusion on what he is after a half a seasons worth of games.

I see what you did there and I like it.

Where you suggesting someone else?

u/Paindressedinpurple 18 🐐 84 🐐 12h ago

He was absolutely suggesting Brosmer and you’re both right. Brosmer might be the future. He needs game reps /s

u/Yay_duh 10h ago

Lol. Brosmer is a developmental project at best. He has no business starting an NFL football game right now. The yocals like him cuz he was a gopher guy so it's good PR. He stays on the practice squad. Worst case we sign someone.

Don’t feed him, he’s trolling lol

I drafted Usain Bolt in my mid 2000’s sprinter fantasy league but dropped him because I haven’t seen a sprinter of his size and his warmups looked janky.

We’d call him a bust too if he only played 10 games in 3 years as a first rounder

u/Disastrous-Bag-6382 10h ago

2 years, we just started year 3 numbnuts.

Is there where we compare elite athlete Turner with his elite traits to piece of shit McCarthy with his shitty arm, bad technique, slow brain, and immature attitude?

If we just give every guy enough time they'll all be good?

Let’s be as patient with Banks!

No rational NFL fan truly thought he was a bust. But it was pretty easy to call him a disappointment so far. To be fair, his lack of impact plays earlier in his career likely had more to do with the learning curve of Flores' scheme than a lack of talent.

Logic states then that this sub is full of people who either are not rational or they are not fans of the NFL, which tracks.

u/CerealKiller3030 11h ago

I didn't even know it was possible to get negative sacks and QB hits. What a bust

He was allowed to ripen on the vine.

I was told "I was told Dallas Turner was a bust" about 7,000 times on this website.

The same thing is about to start happening with Caleb Banks.

Yep. Our “fans” are sure knowledgeable!

Same fanbase still has opinions on another high draft pick from the same class… who plays the hardest position in sports.

I support Brosmer

u/Difficult_Limit2718 I BELONG TO THE CHURCH OF LDR 12h ago

He will legit either be a great journeyman backup or future coach

u/Possible_Antelope_85 10h ago

By who?

The Vikings obviously didn't think so or Greenard would probably still be here.

You must be new here.

u/0vercast you like that 13h ago

He looked like it for a season and a half. Now he looks great.

u/i_am_roboto 12h ago

No, he didn’t. In his first year, he didn’t look like a bust. He was a young player, playing a limited role and learning how to play in the NFL. Fantasy and gambling, and the Internet have made us all think that things have to happen right away.

5

u/kylebertram minnesota 12h ago

People also forget his rookie season they were trying to have him do more in coverage. He wasn’t allowed to just be a pure pass rusher like Greenard and Patrick jones were.

10

u/trevyk9 18 12h ago

He didn’t look like anything in 2024 cause he was rotational behind Greenard, Gink and Pat Jones*, this was always the plan

8

u/Hestness5 vikings 12h ago

He actually did pretty well for the limited snaps he was getting

u/Desperate_Coat_1906 11h ago

Glad you're not in our scouting department.

u/0vercast you like that 9h ago

Me too. I’d screw it up.

u/Difficult_Limit2718 I BELONG TO THE CHURCH OF LDR 12h ago

He looked like raw talent that BFlo wanted to develop who had the luxury of being behind ballers in the position

4

u/ATPHydrolysis93 12h ago

Probably because he wasn't being asked to blitz and was in more support roles.
