San Francisco 49ers Have Cut WR KD Cannon

Damn...you're right. I watched the whole tape and they're all go routes or a variation of a hitch or screen. No slants, corners, posts, outs, speed outs...unless the highlights just wanted to show "big plays", his route tree must be lacking

Yep, gotta love the raw ability, but can he actually be an NFL WR? Baylor WRs are very limited in their routes. That doesn't necessarily mean that can't be coached up to run the full route tree, but a guy with Cannon's abilities and power conference D1 production rarely goes undrafted. It's not like he was flying under the radar. Everyone knew about this guy and I'm sure ever team looked into him to some degree. Not a single one of them deemed him worthy of one of their draft selections. That says a lot, but it's not completely damning. Guys who eventually become solid NFL players go undrafted every year. But, for the 49ers to pick him up, give him $45k signing bonus (that's big guaranteed money for a UDFA) then cut him loose after rookie mini-camp? Damn. That's unusual. There's a reason for that for sure. Whether he's dumb as a rock, has attitude issues, something came up off the field, SOMETHING came to light to cause them to cut bait on this kid this quickly.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
