Junior...

Why do posters like Helena and PT want to tear down Bergen? I don’t get that. What is wrong with them?
I’m not at all. It’s just being realistic with the situation at hand.

Nobody is ever listed as a returner for a position, not even Devin Hester. Just saying that Bergen got drafted for his returning skills more than his receiver skills. At the end of the day, he’s a small WR with average athleticism in the NFL. It’s going to be an uphill climb. I think he can do it, but it’s certainly not a shoo in either.
 
Threads like this are bipolar.

On one hand - very good context for making an NFL roster. Spoiler alert - it's hard.

On the other hand - feels like some are cheering against our guy. With the exception of HHB doing HHB things, they aren't.

Let's be honest - you can count the number of Griz players in history who weren't relative long shots to make a roster on one hand.

I'm just cheering for our guy. C'mon JB - kick ass to close the pre-season!

Pretty sure there isn't a single post that says I am rooting against Junior. People really struggle with a differing viewpoint.

If you were being realistic, you would be saying Bergen has a very good chance at making the team. No would disagree that he got drafted mostly due to his return skills. You should be judging him mainly on those skills. Why bring up the receiver stuff? Even you seem to know that isn’t going to be the basis of his making the team. Average athleticism is pretty good in the NFL. You bring it up like that’s some big negative for him. Can you really not see why many think you are often negative? You should work on actually being realistic.
 
Junior has a good chance of making the team because he is the only healthy person on their punt return depth chart as long as he doesn’t have a major blunder in the third preseason game.
 
What about Chip Scoggins, Patrick Reusse, Andrew Krammer and Ben Goessling at the lovely Star Tribune or Dane Mizutani with the Pioneer Press? These guys are all more critical than the Griz homer media.
Chip is somewhere in the middle, Reusse can be oppositional but is more of curmudgeon, not familiar with Krammer, Goessling might be the best of this bunch - the most objective. Dane Mizutani is more in the middle.

Now Sid Hartman - complete homer, his son, Chad Hartman, also a homer. Dan Barreiro - more toward opposition but good analysis and reasoning. Roman Augustoviz - more of a homer but still objective, Jim Souhan - all the way in the opposition camp.
