I really thought he was turning into a good player 6.5 sacks his rookie year. Top 5 among rookies. Had a huge strip sack on Peyton in a playoff game. Remember Talks of getting 10 sacks as a sophomore, and then proceeded to have one the worst seasons for a second year player I've ever seen. Pretty disappointing.

Defjamz26 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Wow, Grigson should be a GM in the CFL! This is what I said during the black period where he got fired. He scouts CFL talent really well. His issue was that he couldn't consistently scout NFL level talent. Too many project players that never did anything in the NFL and would have been better served as CFL guys. He's with the Browns but if that doesn't work I think a CFL team should hand him the keys to their franchise. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watter Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Older thread I realize, but I think that some of you guys might enjoy this: Duron Carter with a great catch yesterday, He made a few other great catches, but before this one, he made an incredibly boneheaded catch. Running a pattern out to the sideline, he caught the ball in the air, but well in bounds. Only one foot in bounds is required in the CFL. Easy-peasy, any CFL receiver in the league could drag a foot on that play, but not Carter. He stretches out a leg and lands out of bounds for no catch. Brain switched off.

Up until this game he has been practically non-existant, sitting a fourth in stats amongst the receivers just on the Riders roster. League wide, he had fallen off the bottom of the board. He has a pretty big salary for the CFL and had done nothing to earn it so far this season. You could see the resentment in the body language of his teammates. Then he has a game like this. If he could have kept his head in the game and his butt out of trouble, he has the physical assets to be a no. 1 or 2 receiver on any NFL team. Instead he shows up for three of four games a year in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed no better than your average 6th round receiver on tape. * The problem with players like Carter is they frequently don't play up to their capabilities. They coast along on their physical gifts, then all of a sudden they wake up and we see what they really could have been. Then they goes back to sleep for the rest of the game, or the next few games - or the rest of their short careers. Despite having had some great games for Montreal, they cut him because of his inconsistencies and his attitude. Jones in Saskatchewan signed him, just like he picked up Vince Young, hoping he could get something out of him. Young ended up going the same route as every other ex-NFL QB not named Flutie. Unless Carter can start producing like this game, on a reasonably regular basis, I'm sure Carter will be joining Young in the "out-of-football" crowd by season's end.

BloodyChamp Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Whatever happened to that RB who beasted when I was in highschool for the Miami Hurricanes? O yeah he's a Colt named Frank Gore.
