why?

former 2nd round pick with good physical tools..he was worth a shot..

Because 85% of the time, when a player is let go by a team...they're not that good. Yet time and time again, when we pick someone up like that, there's a handful of people that mark out thinking we just stole something grand. It rarely pans out. He was crap for the Skins, so I don't know why people thought he'd be awesome here.

Because the main reason he was cut from the skins had nothing to do with his play on the field.

Exactly.

I don't think anyone thought he'd be a Pro Bowl player for us. What we did know is that he was relegated to special teams duty and that Shanahan had issues with his off-the-field pursuits (like modeling). So sorry if we had just a bit of hope that he'd be a decent receiver for us.

If we're judging receivers by this season alone, I don't think there's a receiver on our roster that would deserve to be here next year. That includes Steve Smith. But continue to judge him as if he came in here with plenty of experience, a great quarterback, and a wonderful offensive line. I mean, who wouldn't look good with the Brian St. Pierre throwing to him?

Actually, if you read extremeskins like I did concerning the kid, about 75% of the members there said they were glad he got cut...because he sucked. If you think the only reason he was cut was because he fell asleep in a meeting, well, the media has a nice tight grasp on you.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
