Gunnar Helm

[someguy 1,476]

Tons of credit to Helm, obviously, but it is sooooo nice to have a staff that actually develops talent.  That developmental piece is so easy to take for granted, but Banks has done a great job in the TE room.  Helm bought in, worked his craft and had patience an it is now paying off.  Great sign of a healthy program.

I'll bet a lot of NFL teams that need a TE were watching that game for Loveland and came away thinking Helm is the move. Really great that he got a chance to shine on the national stage.

Gunnar is better than JT Sanders was last year. I didn't have that on my Bingo card for this year.

He better with the ball in his hands for sure.

Thus far in the season, he looks like an All American.

Far superior blocker too IMHO.

Dude went from unheard of outside of our fans to potentially being a top 2-3 RD pick, and if he continues to ascend, he could go in the 1st. Not likely (RD1, not the ascension), but fuck it, let's fucking roll with it. Best TE in the country, baby! 

Also, it's crazy how much better he is (so far) than Sanders. We all knew he could ball, but this is out of control. Absolute weapon.

Gunnar “blocks” and catches. Priceless at the next level! Top 2 rounds at a minimum!

Hook’em!!!

Reminiscent of David Thomas. I hope to see a lot more similarities as the year progresses.

In past ou games, we've killed them with the TE & slot routes.

Hoping to see Gunnar get another wide open TD against them again this year.

Yes

But also we are going to fuck them up deep I think. 

They are going to play that current Alabama style defense where they sell out to stop everything and play really tight, leaving the double moves and deep shots open. 

They will then try to hold and interfere to keep the deep shots from hitting. It will be up to the officials to finally, for once, call this game normally. 

 

On offense they won't be able to blatantly hold every play like in the past. They are fucked on offense. I think we run it up to 28 or so then just drain the clock on their ass while they sit on another goose egg. Pussies.

 

But yeah go Gunner Helm

I expect those 15-20 yard Helm shots to reappear with Ewers back in the lineup.

This thread needed to be bumped. Gunnar has become one of my favorite players on the team. Keep eating, young man. 

Also, you know NFL coaches are gonna fucking LOVE him. I don't know what round he goes in, but he won't drop. I'd bet a team gets aggressive and takes him earlier than wherever he is mocked. 

 

[kevwun 15,653]

He's gonna get drafted earlier than Sanders did.  I would have bet $0 on that going in to the season.

Sark scheming up a TD for Gunnar 🤘

Bad mother fucker wallet.

Burnt ends seems to be working

Amazing how far he's come since he stepped foot on the 40. He put in the work needed (mentally and physically) to become one of the best TE's in CFB.

And yeah, all that work will be more than worth it on draft day.

[n64ra 1,078]

I'm liking Helm on the team quite a lot.
