Was kicked out of school for substance abuse.

 

Wasn't drafted in 2013 though he entered.

 

Tried out for Vikings, was cut before season started. 

 

Played 2 years in CFL and looked bad in their playoffs.

 

 

Is it his last name? Why are people so excited about him?

 

 

Kid must have one hell of a publicist.

Being brutally honest, that he's Cris's son is probably the biggest part of it.  Outside of that, the fact that he's 6'5 and has a highlight reel factors in.

 

I do think some folks are overrating the 'history repeats itself' angle.  Yes, his dad turned it around from having a bad attitude to become a Hall of Famer.  And yes, he's had a bad attitude and could do the same, but I don't think he's as talented as his dad and honestly, that's a big stretch anyway.

 

I'm cool if we sign him.  If he works out well maybe he and Benjamin can form a 'twin towers' type of attack as receivers.

 

But if we don't, I won't consider it any huge tragedy.

The guy is talented. No question about it. Receivers are a dime a dozen as far as skill (unless you're talking about AJ, Calvin, Dez, etc.) - it's comes down to putting in the work. Disagree if you want but there are more talented guys sitting at home on the couch than there are on the Panthers roster. They are sitting at home because they have a shitty attitude and horrible work ethic.

I wouldn't argue that, and not just at receiver.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
