Has Victor Cruz Panned Out?

I remember when I brought this up in 2010 and I was ridiculed and treated like I didn't know what I was talking about. I was waiting to post this because I am an avid Carolina Panthers fan and I want all of the ones that act like I was out of line, check out this thread in response to my view on Victor Cruz over Armanti Edwards:

Me personally I would feel better about the article had the panthers used the Armati Edwards pick on Victor Cruz the undrafted receiver for the Giants. That is so sickening plus how we had a chance to get the other Steve Smith and bummed on that one too. The wr scouts for the panthers suck.

Victor Cruz is the best preseason WR since Paris Warren.

Damn those WR scouts and their inability to build a time machine!

Also I'm pretty sure every single team in the league passed over Cruz well over 200 times.

Cruz also muffed a punt.

Oh and he's been beasting against 2nd/3rd stringers.

I think your rushing your judgments a little.

I see, you are frustrated with the Edwards pick too, except you say we should have picked Cruz! Thanks for telling us this because it really sets you apart from the ones who wanted to draft Tate, or Gilyard, etc.......

They just don't want you to get ahead of yourself. Let it play out a little. Cruz was awesome, but admittedly against guys who probably won't be in the league much longer.

Also, Edwards and Cruz cannot be compared as one has been playing WR for the past couple of years while the other hasn't.

It's well known that the Great Steve Smith runs a sub-4 second 40.

A UDFA who played lights out in one preseason game and since it was a MNF game he is now the second coming of Steve Smith.

I think that probably matters to some degree. I also think it is why no coaches really stress anything but the 3rd game in terms of the results they are looking for. In the first two games that are probably look at stuff we aren't even thinking about.

Now after 1 superbowl and an integral part of their offense, can I get an "I'm sorry"?

Vindication thread FTW!!

Oh, how you have waited for your moment.

Better now than after they miss the playoffs.

Personally I don't care whether they the Giants miss the playoffs or not, I am just tired of the Panthers not making it. You are barking up the wrong tree, plus the PSL owners feel similar as I do.

Just because you were right doesn't mean you weren't rushing your judgement. No one laughed at you. We just all said you need to calm down and let things play out.

I won't bother the 500 other threads proclaiming some guy who did well in preseason to be the Messiah who is no longer in the league.

You nailed that one too.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
