I really liked this kid when he came out of Kent State. Seems like a guy we could maybe revive, and turn into a decent option. Ran a 4.26 40 yard dash and at the very least could potentially give us a fast receiving threat out of the backfield.

I like how when anyone makes a thread like this, everyone flocks in to trash the guy seemingly forgetting that our WR corps consists of no one who would be higher than #4 on the depth chart on most other NFL teams.  No one is suggesting signing a guy like this to big guaranteed money, but it doesn't cost anything more than the cost of a plane ticket and a hotel room to bring a guy in for a workout and given the state or our WR corps, why not?  You say this guy sucks, well so does virtually everyone currently suiting up at WR for us.  If he sucks slightly less than the worst WR on our roster then we have a chance to upgrade our roster.

How about training camp next summer? Can he return punts and kickoffs?

Nope. That's why he was cut. He's fast as hell but all he did was run sideways and out of bounds really fast. He doesn't play WR and he's too small to play RB. He might be useful for a few gadget plays here and there but since he adds no value as a returner or special teamer he would be a wasted spot on the active roster to use once or twice a game.

      Bryce Young PFF - Week 16

      I mean you are on a message board. Maybe your expectations are too high? Expecting ESPN analyst level conversations/threads from here is on you. Come here voice your opinion, converse with others having the same or differing opinion, and laugh at the one's you deem as crazy. No need to go crazy because the entire fanbase doesn't think how you do or don't have intelligent takes.

      I sometimes think, what if Bryce had played the way he has since returning to the lineup, but did it last year as a rookie? The narrative would likely be completely different than it has been with far fewer doubters. I feel like some people are holding his past bad performances against him, which on some level is fair, but when there's such a stark and obvious dividing line between then and now (pre/post-benching) it seems obvious there has been real growth and improvement. Forget last year. Forget weeks 1 and 2. Just evaluate him based on how he's playing NOW.

      stats sort of tell partial truths though.  I mean, two RBs could average 5 yards a carry.  That alone doesn't mean they have run similar. Could be vastly different in terms of how they got to that.  Those 3 offenses are vastly different on the year and what they ask of the QB.
