Garrett > Rico Wallace?

Am I crazy or does Garrett look like he has more long term potential than 2012 UDFA Rico Wallace? I mean, Wallace didn't make the team and never caught on anywhere else, but he's only 25, so we still don't know for sure.

Am I crazy?

For those that are not big Rico Wallace fans:

Dates: 03/16/12@JamesMadison
Height: 6-3
Weight: 208
40 Yrd Dash: 4.58
20 Yrd Dash: 2.57
10 Yrd Dash: 1.56
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 10
Vertical Jump: 37 1/2
Broad Jump: 09'11"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.12
3-Cone Drill: 7.08

08/28/12 - WR Rico Wallace was waived by the Panthers Monday.

I think the key here is that he was released on a Monday, giving him (essentially) a full 196 weeks of rest.  190+ weeks of rest for a 25 year old may be considered overkill for some people but I think it's the right amount of time.  Like this one time I took about 200 weeks off from throwing a baseball.  Picked that sumbitch up and my arm felt amazing again.  Accuracy was a bit off though.

Also according to this:

Cam and Rico (and others probably) spent a solid 72 hours working on their chemistry.  Factor this in with being well rested and the scale tips heavily towards Rico.  

Tipping the scale back in Keyariss' favor is his hands.  Very sure handed and according to this:

Catches up to 400 tennis balls a day.  Here are some simulations of former/current Panther wide outs doing the same drill:

Overall I give the slight edge to Keyariss Garett if it's a tennis ball, Rico Wallace if its a chew toy.  Wait what was the question

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
