Yeah, that's who Lovie kept comparing him to in the offseason, thought he would be similar to Steve Smith. He only lacks 2 things: good hands, and heart. He's just not very tough, certainly not when compared to Smith. He's got speed and he's elusive, but he gets his ass kicked constantly by opposing DBs.
I think, at this point, you can call him a failure,and the Bears (I think Frazod would agree) are better with him sticking to being a returner. The other WR, Rashied Davis, is also a failure.
In hindsight, maybe they should have kept Berrian, but I think Minnesota overpayed by a lot for him, so I don't fault them for that.
