One of the butthurt! lol :D

Look this is simple, He looks great in camp and preseason but always comes up short in regular season. He has the worst return numbers in the NFL for Punt returns.

I like him as much as you and was hoping he would eb the second coming of Steve Smith. But there are players who have outstanding practices, but just cannot bring the same level of skills in a game. He may be one of them.

and they will not keep him on the roster as a return man, Pliares has that locked up unless someone else beats him out. He better pray for some late camp blunders or injuries.

I'm not basing my opinion on that at all, I was just stating the fact.

I'm basing my opinion on the assumption and technically fact that our defense needs more help than our offense, so why waste a roster spot on a seventh wide out when we can carry an extra defensive player.

No use arguing about it. In the Hurney interview posted recently, he said they didn't even know how many WRs they'd carry on the final roster and said 6 or 7. So, there's at least a possibility of carrying 7. I expect the final number will probably be 6, but 7 wouldn't shock me.

I agree, I'm not the GM; so I'm not going to pretend like I am and speculate on all this...

However, it's foolish (in my opinion) to blatantly root against players on the team you pull for... The last thing players need is individuals (who pull for that particular team) rooting for them to fail, they already have enough people doing that (fans who root for opposing teams).

      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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By frankw · Posted

      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.
