Congrats to @kelvinbenjamin on setting new @Panthers rookie records for Receptions, Yds, & TDs for a season. #KeepPounding

Somewhere Keary Colbert just dropped his phone....and then smiled

I was expecting something different, something more...relevant

I never understood the Colbert pick, but he did have a stretch of a couple of games when he played really well. I'm glad he still somewhat keeps up with the team.

[Mr. Scot]

There was some talk a while back (from Drew Carter, I think) that Colbert actually could have been a good player but Steve Smith pretty much destroyed him in the locker room.

 

No idea how valid that is, but Carter would have been in a position to know.

Colbert tried, he just didn't have the NFL level talent.  Unlike Jarrett which was a total lazy piece of poo.

This is probably true too.  When Smitty doesn't get his, watch the fug out.

it was well known that Smith was generally not accomodating of rookies.  Theory was that he didn't like helping develop guys who could eventually replace him.  Others said he was just surly (all speculation, of course).

 

As to Colbert, in his first season he set the records for Panthers rookie receivers that remained up till now.  that's what his tweet is all about. 

 

The year after that, it was like he just forgot everything about how to play football.  And eventually, he was gone.

 

It does lend itself pretty well to conspiracy theories. 

 

Are they valid?  No idea.

Hmmmm, would be interesting to hear others players take on this.

Agree, but you probably never will.

[WhoAmI?]

Ah, Keary Colbert. I really thought he was going to be big. If that Steve Smith assessment is true, it starts to make ya wonder....

Wow.  You have to wonder about all our wr picks over the years if that is true.
