Why so little discussion about this after months of certain posters all but declaring his career over?

Eh, I am still cautiously optimistic.

He was making these throws in camp last year too. The question has always been can the shoulder hold up through the course of a NFL season. Also, a little curious to see how much throwing he does today. Would not shock me to see him pull back a bit. A bit of soreness is likely part of the healing process.

From what I read from Voth and other reporters he was not even throwing 20 yds in camp last year?

He made multiple 40+ yard completions in camp last year?

I have to say regardless of how things go with his shoulder as the season progresses, we really need a resurgence in the run game. Someone needs to step up at RB2. Myself I will be rooting for Jordan Scarlett big time.

Those long bombs to Moore and Samuel where all the talk about Donte's makeup speed never happened?

I was reading and watching video last year in camp, he could barely get the ball to them. I mean what Donte does has nothing to do with how Cam throws the ball. Making up for someone running by him is on him. He was not making these throws at all last year!

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
