Mardy Gilyard WR

[pantherfan81]

Mardy Gilyard is gonna be a bust. I watched him at combine today... one word describes him... Horrible! Cant keep his balance and runs 40 yard dash in 4.65.

You're calling him a bust cuz of the combine? Didn't Heyward-Bey have a good combine last year?

Wow jump to conclusions much, Heyward-Bey has played one season with perhaps one of the worst QB's in league history throwing him the ball most of said season.

Wasn't jumping to conclusions, just stating my opinion. Calling somebody a bust cuz of the combine workout over a solid college career is jumping to conclusions.

But calling somebody a bust who has 1 year under there belt playing with the worst QB in the NFL and a terrible offensive line that doesn't give said QB time to throw him the ball isn't........interesting.

By questioning someones post where they said Gilyard's combine shows he will be a bust then turning around and saying your using someones combine to say they are a bust "didn't DHB have a good combine last year", makes it appear that you are implying he is a bust despite having a good combine.

Nobody is widely considered a bust until about their 2nd or 3rd year. That is if they make it that far, all I'm trying to point out is that the combine doesn't mean jack until the players are in pads & you can see what they can do against pro athletes.

Fair enough and for what it's worth I just don't see Gilyard being explosive enough to be a playmaker at the NFL level.

I respect that. I don't know if he will be either, but we gotta take a chance on somebody & with our draft position he might be the best wr option available so who knows?

I would rather draft someone with the game breaking speed. You cant teach speed you can teach a kid how to run routes. I'm pretty high on Jacoby Ford and Mike Williams right now and if the reports about Thomas running a 4.38 before he fractured his foot are accurate I think the Panthers would be foolish not to draft him in the second.

I want a Marques Colston. I want someone that will play with a chip on his shoulders for being underrated. I want Freddie Barnes

He looked slow as hell... Specially at the start.

I think if Moore is the starter this season and DJ is allowed to actually get on the field more then two snaps a game you will see his production at the level everyone was hoping for the last 3 years. Otherwise he will probably just be producing somewhere else in 2011.
