That knee injury combined with his mom passing just seemed to ruin him. By most accounts, he looked like the best player on the field during TC and joint practices when he tore his ACL. He probably wasn't going to be great long-term due to motivation issues, but I think he could've been a David Boston type. Great, but short-lived career

I'm an FSU fan, and the same thing was said about him in college about his laziness. I just think he was someone that was gifted talently and just didn't want/have to work because his physical ability trumped most of the players he went against... until the NFL.

That is basically the theme of video. Equating Kelvin to a lottery winner (genetically) who blew all his winnings within 5 years. I thought it was an excellent analogy.

I had all but forgotten about David Boston but that is a great comparison.

I honestly felt for KB when he lost his mom having lost a parent myself but I will never understand why he went after Cam when it appears Cam was one of the few people who truly cared about him both on and off the field.

Video does a good job dredging this back up and making Kelvin look like a clown for this.

They both got derailed by a trifecta of motivation issues, weight issues, and knee issues. The third likely exacerbated by the second. KB's weight issues seemed primarily due to dietary discipline while Boston's weight issues were seemingly primarily due to him being more interested in being swole than trying to be in his best football shape as a WR.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
