Army Vet gets one last shot at NFL


Recommended Posts

Would you take a chance on a 7th rounder or UFDA on this guy?

 

It was an interesting story.   At 6'-9" at minimum you have a Red Zone threat?  I don't care how much a vertical leap a DB has he is never gonna out jump a 6'9" TE.  (Well most of the times)

Story also mentions a player from ECU.

wheres the part of the story about the guy from ECU? i dont see it at all..

 

im assuming it would be about Justin Jones since this article is about a tall TE [Justin is 6'8" ; but he was off the ECU squad this year] but only see a brief mention about an app state player.

Ummm. Yea plently of tall guys have given it a shot but height even 6'9 isnt always enuff. Id rather waste a 7th on de anthony or archer from kent state. To much talent in this draft to waste a pick on a novelty player like this guy. Undrafted sure wht not bring him to camp. But not a pick.

In the video there's a quick mention of "Kendrick" (aka Reese) Wiggins being draft eligible. Guy called him by his first name instead of the name he goes by

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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.
