Yeah, that could end up addition by subtraction. Dude showed up way overweight and still looked way overweight and predictably slow. Now he might have a significant injury. Not looking good for his long-term NFL prospects.

I recall reading that he had to lose a lot of weight for the combine…..his mother is a caterer (Southern food), and she fed him well.  Hope he doesn’t eat himself out of the league.  Like a lot of us mamas, we love to feed our babies, “food is love” isn’t always a good thing.

They're in for a long rebuild and I think anything short of a franchise carrying sort talent was a waste of that pick.  He looked like Sam with some flashes of higher potential and I expect him to have a similar fate there.

Poor kid, his talent is impressive….love his toughness.  That oline couldn’t even snap the ball when Sam was there, hopefully he doesn’t suffer the same fate.

I wish him well.

Former Panthers great DT Kris Jenkins did it. He'd always show up to camp fat and work his way into shape. The older he got the harder that got to pull off (I can sympathize). Eventually the knees could no longer bear the load.

Charles Woodson said one of the keys to his longevity was someone giving him the advice to try to show up to every camp 1 pound lighter than the last.

Honestly, this same statement could probably fairly be said about KB too.

We all saw him looking like Queen Latifah at camp.

Silver Platter Sam was "abused" for 3 straight seasons...

...yet it appears he is 100% certain to "recover"...??

I daresay one game is no certainty.  Sam needs to show everyone an entire season of consistent, quality play.  He's got three seasons of "potential bust" smeared all over him, one game doesn't wipe that away.

Look at the size difference between the two (there's a pic of them at midfield after the game). Darnold is a tank. Wilson can't physically take the beating Darnold did.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Waldo · Posted

      That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running.

      On the subject of Reich and him being no good as a coach, because he wouldn’t change everything he did to accommodate Young. He wanted to sit Young. He knew what Young was.  But to the point, was Andrew Luck a good QB under Reich in Indy? Most people don’t hesitate to say yes. Well, Luck thought enough of his coaching to bring him to Stanford.  There is a bona fide NFL QB that seems to dispute the painting of Reich as a incompetent and the reason for Young’s shortcomings.  Yes he got fired. It appears as if Tepper and Fitterer forced a QB he did not want on him and poisoned the well right from the start. I don’t blame Reich one bit for being pissed either.  And I wasn’t a Reich guy I wanted Wilks. I accepted the Reich hire but never lobbied for him.  Just saying he is being dogged here unfairly.

      I think its a mix of both. Bryce being too small and offense is too vanilla. Plays arent creative enough. Most are slants, fades and runs. But even Baker and Sam had to deal with vanilla offense and looked horrid. Thats why I say it's a mix of both.
