Apparently former Panthers 2014 6th round pick Tyler Gaffney broke off a 44 yard TD in the preseason for the Patriots. 

Quote

Some background: The running back was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2014 but tore his meniscus before training camp and was waived with the intention of being placed on injured reserve. Bill Belichick wagged his finger like Dikembe Mutombo and blocked Gaffney from hitting IR by claiming him and storing him on the Patriots’ 90-man roster throughout the summer of 2014 before placing him on injured reserve when he no longer had to pass through waivers.

Oh Belichick. Wonder if Gaffney had stayed healthy what the RB room would look like right now.

    • No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.
    • Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.  
    • We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
