That hit he took in the pre-season put the fear of God in him. As a QB he was able to see the whole field and avoid a defender getting a solid shot on him. If he hasn't caught on yet as a WR or PR, he never will.

Just for the sake of playing devil's advocate - do we really know whether he's caught on yet? We had a HC who clearly wasn't happy with having him to begin with and an OC that was either too retarded or too pussified to stand up to the HC.

He may be a bust but there's an equal chance he's not and a coach with an open mind to him will tell us that for sure. Until then it's not really fair to label him.

*edit for clarification*

If he's good but doesn't live up to what we value the pick at then I do not think he's a bust. He's a bust if he never develops into anything at all and we just cut him or some poo.

In my eyes the guy is not NFL material and certainly not worth the price the Panthers paid. Really what has he done to earn a spot on a 2-12 team? If AE fell to us in round 6 (yes he would have) I would have felt better with the pick, but trading up to get him? He was great at App St but Jarrett was better than AE, no I didn't just say that!:yikes:

Not sure if you meant that to be sarcastic, but I would say I completely disagree.

My analogy is a high school football team. Do you really expect freshman to come in and play right away on varsity, let a lone play well? It takes time to learn the ways, get your body in the right shape, etc.

you were correct in your sense of the sarcasm

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
