Corey "Philly' Brown + A look at our new WRs

I wouldn't really call it being optimistic or positive thinking. I would say it's pretty normal to give someone a look. I'm talking about brown by the way...not Lucas. Concerning brown you were talking about how he's just  another UDFA. Which he is just another UDFA. But if that's the only reason you're not going to give him a look then c'mon mannn lol

The receivers are obviously going to get a look, that's not the question. Historically, particularly with this organization, their chances are slim to none.  I can't think of one UDFA receiver that has made the 53 man roster. It doesn't mean there haven't been any, it just means that I don't remember any.  We have had guys like Jared Green, Darvin Adams, and Rico Wallace to name a few, and none of them made the cut.  Of course Philly Brown might be the anomaly, but I wouldn't wager any money on it.  He has speed going for him, and looks to have decent hands (which is a premium on this team), but I still believe that the veteran youngsters have a better shot.  This back and forth is beginning to bore me.  You and everyone else has the right to think what you want about the WR competition. Like I said, in August we will see what happens.

Why wasn't this guy more highly touted? From watching this, looking at stats, and combine stuff, he seems to match up to some of the top WR in this draft.

 

I'm thoroughly impressed, drop me on the bandwagon, although I don't know if we've ever actually given anyone drafted below the 3rd round to really shine at the wideout position in our entire team history. Wish we did though, I feel like we've had a lot of talent slip in and out at the back end of the position.

Donald Hayes. That might be it.

My best guess is that he doesn't necessarily have breakway speed and he can struggle to get away from defenders at times.  

On the whole though he looks really solid and fun to watch.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
