Punt Returner Free Agents

Not even comparable players at this point. Adams looked incredibly lost and out of his element out there.

They're very comparable. Both under Rivera. Both rookies. Both few games. Both with drop problems. I was uncomfortable with both. Adams only lasted a couple games. If Brown continues his problems, he will too.

Cam was compared to Ryan Leaf his first preseason too.

I don't think either of us can definitively say one way or the other yet.

But it seems like some folks are hoping he fails just to be proven right. That's pretty fugged up. He's a Panther.

Returners aren't developed like other positions at this level. You got it or you don't.....thinking otherwise is a waste of time

Acknowledging someone isn't getting the job done isn't rooting for failure.

You're comparing different positions and a dumb one.

Again, Adams only lasted a couple games at returner. That's like 2-3 more than Brown currently has. Very comparable since they both have the same problems.

KillerKat, you do realize that not every returner comes out of the gate looking like Devin Hester in his prime right?

Name a decent return man that started off his career looking like poo? You either can or can't at that spot.

No, but normally returners don't suddenly develop basic skills needed to return punts. Like for example, consistently fielding a punt cleanly. They got it or they don't.

I'm comparing someone that plays the same position as someone else to someone that plays the same position as someone else? Wut?

i think PB is fine. he had a bit of a rough night tonight - every rookie is due one of those now and then. his upside is tremendous both as a returner and a deep threat wide receiver.

 

if he starts muffing live balls from this point forward i'll be concerned.

    • 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
