Speaking as someone who hasn't necessarily followed Ebron's career that closely, did he ever actually live up to his hype?

What I've read about him gives 

Simply put: no he has not. Between his slippery hands and injuries, he's been an effective first round bust. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he can't help our offense. Some think that he's washed, but he's only a 29-year-old TE who might come in as the best we have.

Fair enough...

What I've read about him gives me the impression he hasn't.

He was on a bad team in Detroit for 4-5 years. Bounced around a big after. But no, he has not lived up to the hype of being #10 overall selection. I think he’d be a great addition here as a role player.

I don’t understand the “bust” criticism of Ebron. Sounds like duke bball and NCST fans that don’t know what they are talking about. Was he supposed to be Antonio Gates or Travis Kelce? 
 

he has 33 touchdowns almost 4K career yards and has deal with shaky QB play and some injuries but he is not a bust. He has been in the NFL for almost a decade lol

If he wasn't a bust, he'd still be with Detroit. He has never played anywhere near a first round level, much less the number 10 pick. That's a bust. Now that's not to say that he can't be a halfway productive TE or at least a red zone threat.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
