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

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
