Practice Squad Guys Signed.

Darvin Williams was a beast in college, I hope he can eventually make the team. Burney will make a nice addition to the practice squad as well.

its good to see that we kept Wilson. I thought he was cut for good, I would hate to see us waste draft pick on a guy who couldn't even make the practice squad.

Cam Newton probably still has good chemistry with Darvin Adams since Darvin was his #1 receiver at Auburn. Who knows, maybe Darvin can work his butt off and make the team next year. He just has to give the coaches what they want ... exactly how they want it.

I was thinking the same thing. He also was a top receiver in the SEC the year before Cam. I don't understand why we wouldn't give the kid a chance with the scrubs we have.

Where would he play?

Obviously Smith is going to start over him, and Naanee, who played in the offensive system before and is a veteran, and obviously Armanti is going to play ahead of him because they want to see what he can do. Oh, and LaFell is going to get more snaps, because he has played games in the NFL, and is familiar with the people on the offense. And Ajirotutu (sp?) is going to play because he's one of Chud/Rivera's guys.

So, where exactly does an undrafted rookie fit into that scenario?

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
