Fastest Panther Currently and Sleeper..Marvin Bracy?


Recommended Posts

I haven't seen any thread about it so i decided to go ahead and put this kids name out there. It is more than likely this could be just a blip or even a rookie camp trial thing. But, if he does make it past this stage I think his chances of making atleast the practice squad like Byrd could be promising. Forget CMC speed....I would even chuckle off Samuels being Faster than this kid. We are talking Maybe the fastest player in the league. Bracy was a talented 4 star all-american Wideout entering FSU a few years ago after watching him catch one-handed catches during the all american game I came away drooling at the mouth at the potential he could have for my Seminoles...Sadly before he could get through the summer workouts,The Olympics came calling...Yes this kid right out of highschool was clocking 10.1 times in the hundred yard dash and has been timed as low as 9.93 in the 100 meters.

*UPDATED did a little digging to find the UA Clip.

Insane catch at the UA game. Also cameo from Corn Elder.

Were talking about a kid who in 2012 ran the worlds fastest indoor 55 meter run at 6.08-seconds.os-fsu-kermit-whitfield-cousin-marvin-br

After being all but the slowest team in the NFL I am very excited about all the speed that we are trying to get into our offense. This will make for an exciting camp.

Yall better write this down because this will most likely be the first and only time you hear this name with the Panthers. 

I'm not so certain that's true.

Rivera raved about him after Friday's minicamp. Granted, it's only minicamp, but all we're talking about here is a shot at the training camp roster.

When was the last time that there was speed like this on the squad? Speed to burn!! How are his hands? 

Let this clip show you how good his hands are. I think a lot of people are thinking this is a track guy trying to play football,but this kid was a football player from day 1. But given the choice between 4 years of college and a Rio Invite to turn pro right out highschool not many people would turn that way. Also a cameo of Corn Elder in the video...

Man would I love to see a:

Samuel Byrd Bracy wide out package for straight up verticals, Olsen work the middle and McCaffrey as designated dump off. 

How could one defend this? The safeties would have to play deep or bracket thus leaving one burner. Olsen would outmatch the linebacker. McCaffrey could possibly gain outrageous yards due to all the speed pushing the backend deep and Olsen preoccupying the linebacker. 

There be so much illegal contact by the defense because you do not to be beat deep by the burners. 

 

Just cut CJ2 and let the WR crew be: KB, DF(trade him for a bag of Doritos), Samuel, Shepard, Byrd and Bracy.

 

This team needs to use speed as a trap to set up plays.

This makes me happy as fug...our offense has been slow in all aspects...maybe the FO finally realizes it and willing to address it. SPEED KILLS

KB and Olsen came out with a lot of help from this draft. Defenses now have to respect the speed element which helps them not to be doubled as much and not making Cam force throws.

I may be unhitching myself from the Byrd train as well, and hitching it to Bracy's lol.  I remembered seeing him and hearing about him during the Olympics, but didn't realize we had him until someone tweeted about him yesterday.  The problem historically with the Olympic Track-Hopeful guys is that they mostly only excelled in football because of their speed, but not necessarily any actual football skills.  Even our own Michael Bates was a WR who didn't play WR, lol, he was just so damn fast that he could return kicks (and cover them) like nobody's business.  In Bracy's case, he appears to possibly be the exception to the rule.  He was a 4-star recruit, went to a college football powerhouse as evidence, but then went after his dreams in track...  Regardless, he appears to have some natural football instincts and skills aside from his world-class speed - looks to be a natural hands catcher and his speed translates to the field.  Also, FWIW, IIRC, Voth tweeted yesterday during the practice to keep an eye out on Bracy as a guy to possibly emerge from camp.  I'm hopeful about this guy and stoked about our overall upgrade in the speed category across the board.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
