Remember when everyone was angry that the Panthers cut WR Jarrett Boykin last year....

Huddle gonna huddle. 

 

Do you think he would even be in consideration for the squad this year? Seems like just looking back at that situation really brings how much the unit has improved into focus. Boykin was basically a less talented Norwood, who probably won't even make the team this season.

Well I would have rather had Boykin last year and the 7th round pick we gave up for Norwood than Norwood since he contributed absolutely nothing so there's that. 

Nope. He contributed to a red zone interception so there's that.

I don't put that one on Norwood. Cam's arm was hit during the throw which caused it to sail high and right. He barely got his fingertips on the ball.

ehh, i forgive it. losing benjamin in camp was a major blow and throwing some poo at the wall was due dilligence for gettleman. norwood was no world beater but facing a season without your top receiver it's not much of a gamble to throw your 7th-rounder at a shot to repair a little bit of the damage.

Nah he still got his hands on the ball it just went right through his hands. Watch the replay.

      Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.

      I think Texas could go 0-12 and he would still go #1 based on his name and traits like you say.  But nusselman and sellers may be actually better qbs.    Man if bryce stinks it up this season its looking like a damn good year to swap out qbs.  Sellers highlights are just fuging jaw dropping

      I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning. And if he is what he's hyped to be the Texas coaching staff needs to be answering some tough questions about why the kid wasn't on the field sooner. Ewers was a good college QB but he's definitely not a "keep a future #1 overall pick waiting" type of college QB. Only getting one season out of a top NFL talent because you chose to keep him buried behind a borderline NFL talent is just coaching negligence. Not starting him as a true freshman? Yeah, I get that. But on year two if the kids is what he's hyped to be you gotta wish Ewers well elsewhere and turn the page.
