Lamont Bryant


Recommended Posts

With all this speculation and talk of us taking a WR at #14, a couple interesting tidbits came to mind. In Gettleman's pre-draft presser he mentioned (not in his exact words) that sometimes the talent is already on the roster, like his Victor Cruz comparison. Every NYG fan wanted to take a WR in the draft, but management knew they already had someone special in Cruz. I also remember the AMA on Reddit with Byron Bell and Armond Smith, when asked who was the most underrated player on the roster, Armond mentioned Lamont Bryant was VERY good.

The conspiracy theorist leads me to believe that maybe we already have that WR on the roster (*cough Lamont *cough), with the addition of Ginn and Hixon (and I personally believe Lafell will break out due to a contract year), does this make a WR early in the draft obsolete? I still want a WR in the 2nd round (or at least the 4th) but I personally feel this solidifies our need for a DB at #14.

Anyways just some food for thought. Let the heckling and know-all analysis begin!

i think he's great for the practice squad.

gives the defense a big body to practice against.

beyond that and a couple decent catches in practice...meh. don't understand the hype. just a bunch of wishful thinking.

have at it, tho.

I don't understand the hype with Bryant or Gettis. Like Rayzor said, it's just a bunch of wishful thinking on the fans part. Bryant probably will probably still be on the PS come next year. Hopefully we address the WR position with one of our early draft picks. We don't need to depend on Gettis or Bryant breaking out

My biggest question about Bryant is, is there enough practice time for him to prove he belongs? We have a poo ton of WRs on the roster trying to prove something. It is going to be difficult for any of the bottom feeders to show what they have. I guess, when you get an opportunity. You had better make the most of it. My biggest hope for Bryant is that he put in a poo ton of work in this offseason. He will only get so many chances to show out. I am rooting for him.

Overall I agree with Rayzor's remark, more so wishful thinking on my part.

However, I don't think you can compare Bryant and Gettis as Bryant has yet to showcase his skills in a game atmosphere. Unfortunately, I think Gettis is done in Carolina due to the injury plague, just been out too long.

I think the weapons Cam has this coming year are underrated. Olsen is solid. LaFell was pretty decent last year and I see that only getting better. Add Hixon, and potentially Ginn.. And theres that 1 guy called Smith?

I think.. hope we'll use the run a lot more this year and get back to being as effective as we were a couple years back. We have a beasty offence..

Not saying I wouldn't love a WR in 1st (lemme get TAVON!!) but I wouldn't be pissed if we solidify our D. We rack up the points as it is, we just let too many points in the other way lol.

Bryant could be on the final roster depending on who is cut.

i don't know....if we pick up a WR in the draft, that leaves us with at least smitty, lafell, draft pick, ginn, hixon...that's 5. how many do we go into the season with? won't be more than 6. would bryant beat out any of those 5 guys? doubtful. how about the rest of the guys....gettis, adams, pilares, AE(ok, that last one...probably). it's hard to think that bryant could beat out all those guys. esp. adams since he's just going into his second season.

and then we'll probably pick up another WR as a UDFA. i mean then which "future victor cruz" do you pick? the udfa from last year or the one that gettleman picks this year?

Agree 100% - wouldn't mind a WR in the first two rounds - but I don't feel our need for WR is as big as people think. I would much rather solidify our D and utilize our 3-headed rushing attack more.

    • I know every jersey thread goes in this direction, but I feel the need to say it.  The Chinese knockoffs are not your friend. Not only does the money not go to the panthers, but you don't control where it does go. The athletic did an excellent podcast on the business of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. I could care less about the legality of it, but the morality of it is no bueno. Now I need to wash off the "defends billionaire class" off myself, but like don't give your money to those people. If you can't afford a jersey, just go to ebay, or a thrift store, or wear a t shirt. 
    • A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before.  He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious.  Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was.  Jeff was understanding and listened carefully.  During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist.  As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card.  The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway.  She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out.  Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked.  A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card.  Chip was still laughing.  He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him.  Chip stopped laughing.  He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently.  Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown.  I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance.  You are my role model.  I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx.  Chip made a C.
