I think this is a perfect storm for a Gettleman signing.  Very physically talented with some great hands.  Injuries have relegated him to being what DG coins as "NFL middleclass."  

 

Very similar to Hixon, but with more production and playmaking ability when healthy.

 

Plus he's a Gamecock, and regardless of what people feel about the real Carolina our players show out in the NFL.

The guys was making $8m a year. Why would anyone throw the "if he's cheap" line out there?

 

Given that he was just released and has the "always injured" label attached to him, I would think he'd have to take a substantial paycut to stay around.

Seattle didn't need him with Baldwin and Kearse developing the way they did.  Why pay a guy 8 million a year when you've hit the jack pot and have two guys on rookie contracts playing lights out football?  Seattle did the right thing.  They put him on the shelf and they won with cheap guys so Seattle virtually loses nothing with Rice gone.   Seattle is very deep at WR...it's ridiculous.

      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.
