Taylor Mays the original combine king back in the NFL?

I never understood why the the league couldn’t get anything out of this guy. Not even a special teams player? He had unseen ability and you mean to tell me he couldn’t be Colin jones or Corn Elder? I would have picked him up just to see how he looked behind Adams last season, stick him at Linebacker somewhere. I would still take a flyer on this dude at this day and age for the vet min.

If you don't have the brains to back up the brawn your career will be short.

Because he's an athlete and not a football player. I know it must come as a shock to you, but the NFL isn't a track and field event.

College all-American a few times and big numbers at usc beg to differ... he was productive and the complete package as a prospect. Do your research.

Thing is he just couldn't cover,  and as a Safety you need to be able to cover people.

Yeah that’s my thing. He showed all the traits and skills to play at the next level. I dunno I think you could have atleast got him some snaps at linebacker. I think the nfl doesn’t move guys around at different positions enough if they fail at one spot. If someone like say Gary fails at end I would kick him inside to tackle. Experiment get the most from our guys.

Worked pretty well with Nate Chandler and Sione Fua.

    • Though question the validity of this chart, it does remind me of concerns I have with our offense. I’m unsure whether it’s Canales doesn’t trust Bryce to execute his gameplan or if the route concepts and scheme is vanilla and unimaginative by design.  When watching other games, the receivers seem like they get more separation and aren’t as clustered together as ours. The Panthers WR, TE and RBs, more often than not, seem very close to each other and almost like their feet are stuck in a lower gear in and out of routes/off the LOS. Often times, unclear of their positioning when the first read isn’t there and where they should be positioned within the options of that particular route concept (e.g. Bryce is under duress and the play breaks down….where do you go? Pre-snap we thought it was man, it’s disguised well as zone). It’s almost like if the coaches don’t tell them, the players aren’t intelligent enough to figure this out on their own. Or are the players simply doing as told by the coaches in film study, practice and in-game, which means the coaching is inept. 
    • I think Young has totally killed the idea of drafting undersized QB's and hoping it works. Especially at such a high pick and putting all your cards on the table. He won't last in this league.
    • Well, maybe it will save us some money down the line when it is time to give him a new deal. Might be one of the unsung Benefits of Bryce.
