I'm hoping he's our Wes welker

Yeah, an UDFA that becomes a fan favorite--I like the kid--chatted with his dad during the draft and signing of undrafted players.  Really pulling for him.

I think his catching is elite.  I forget what game but he had a slant route on a 5 WR set, in traffic and snapped it out of the air with his hands like like a Cobra.  Good route running, great size.  His 10 yard split and broad jump are elite. 

The knock on him was his lack of competition and speed but watch his run after the catch in games.  He is not getting chased down.  Not an issue.

Purely my opinion but I think he has some of the biggest potential of any player on the team.

I played in the Southern Conference and we had 1 guy drafted; three more made NFL teams as UDFAs following my last year.  Now, these guys were head and shoulders better than most everyone else on our team, but we still thought, "Nobody from here is going to make a splash in the NFL. Sure, they are good against Furman and the Citadel..."  Two of the undrafted free agents became pro bowlers and had 10+ year careers.  You just never know, so when I hear, "level of competition" that means little to me.  I mean, the level of your team makes it more difficult to shine, if you ask me.  If your OL sucks and your QB sucks and your coach sucks--it is hard to look good.

Anquan Boldin, son. A reach, sure, but this dude is the truth. He’s our first pure WR prospect since…. When? You watch his game and it’s just so smooth. As a Panthers fan, I’m conditioned to expect drops in crucial moments. He makes me feel uncomfortable in the fact that he catches every stinking ball. 

If he caught 8 TDs and 800 yards next year… it would be sweet, but would surprise no one who has payed attention.

I’ve said it a million times but will keep saying it. Victor Cruz 2.0, except hopefully staying healthy his whole career unlike Cruz. People forget how good Cruz was and these guys profile very similarly skill set wise

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
