Interesting insight on how rookie camp went, hard reality of bottom tier guys getting the Corral treatment with their reps. I guess when trying to get a rookie QB and 2nd round wr up to speed asap some of these tryout guys weren't getting much a chance

How many games would this good teammates have won without Steve Smith? Ice Up Son...

Yeah, that's why I said stay focused earlier. I never said anything to the tune of his on the field play. SS was a bad teammate and stifled the maturation of every WR we drafted. He almost disabled one teammate in a film study for asking to see a play again and then sucker punched another teammate at practice. Then he tried to be a punk and not work with Cam which resulted in his dismissal. Other posters are bringing these points up, but you keep quoting me. Since you think beating up teammates for trying to study film and sucker punching teammates for playing well against you in practice then I have three words. Grow up Son!

I'm still focused. He didn't stiffle the maturation of any WR's, including this we drafted. He was the example of how to play the position and how to be disciplined in your work ethic to improve. I acknowledged his chip on his shoulder and will accept that chip with his game play every practice, every Monday and Thursday night and twice on Sunday's.  Only kids that misquote someone words needs to grow up!

Hahahahahahahahaha!!! The proof is in the pudding man, which is why no less than ten other fans in this thread have said he was a bad teammate. I get you're a SS super fan, but nobody is perfect and these are things that will always be discussed in regards to his career in Carolina. Like I said in my first post, it is good he is now willing to work with young, up and coming WRs for the Panthers.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
