He's done pretty much nothing since he's been drafted, and was inactive a number of games last year. I don't expect him to even make it out of the preseason if he doesn't show Rivera something, is he a bust?

I think a bust is someone that experts and scouts have a high expectation for and then they don't meet those expectations.

For a guy like Norwood to get drafted in the middle rounds and then be converted to DE, that's more of a coaches/personal problem for not being able to help the guy pan out.

Unfortunately for tweeners, they are tweeners...no one can truely figure out where they fit. He may not work out, but he was worth a shot. Like many have said, a 4th rdr is not a bust per se, just didn't work out the way they thought. This pre-season is make or break for him I think, IF Alexander works out he's even at a higher risk.

Consistently missing in the 4th - 7th will end up seriously hurting the team tho.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
