To be fair, an average year when you have Pickles and a declining Matt Moore as your QB's does raise expectations.

Then, Gettis tore his ACL before he ever got a chance to play with Cam and that was it for him. 

By that standard we should have been just as excited for LaFell.

He had potential but wasn't going to be a superstar or anything. I don't think he would make the roster over Philly Brown.

At least we got a chance to see how far LaFell could go. He had his moments.

I'll never forget Gettis, however. That 90+ TD catch from St Pierre was one of the rare highlights from 2010. Actually, the only one I can remember.

Really happy for Scoot. He had some nice flashes in the run game. His running style reminded me of a smaller Mike Tolbert. I wonder if he develops into that style of FB on the depth chart.

We've had some success developing guys from the practice squad (Bersin and Byrd.) I hope down the road we can look at Scoot and say we developed him into a contributor. 

Scoots measurables: 5'8 210 he's a halfback..

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
