Or maybe he has gotten a bit over the hill for his reckless style of play?

This is something else to be considered sure, but it's easier to blame something else instead of coming to terms with accepting he could be passing his prime and not return to the Gerald of 2005-2007. :(

Players age and the abuse does take a toll on their bodies, plus the years go by too damn fast. It's the same thing with Steve Smith - it's tough to accept the fact that he's older, and not the same player he was six years ago.

I agree with most of that but if the guy works on his 3pt shot like Jordan did he could play into his late 30's and still be a dangerous player. Look at Kurt Thomas and Ray Allen. I'd dare to say that many more NBA players have produced well into their late 30's than NFL players.

It's totally up to Gerald to change his game and grow.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
