I had Bryant as a fourth round pick in my draft because he presented so much value at that point. Not sure he would have been so productive in this offense, but CK can surely throw the ball downfield to him, and the long ball was Bryant's greatest contribution to the team.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Oh, well, this year, right?

I think its more their system than anything else. They have good coaches and continuity with the coaching, their OCs have been pretty aggressive in terms of passing the ball and they have a top tier QB. All of those factors make it a lot easier to develop a receiver.

Doesnt mean those guys would develop the same elsewhere. The Packers have the same situation.

During that offseason I claimed that Bryant would do better than his team mate Watkins.

Now put Watkins in Pittsburgh and Bryant in Buffalo, do you think they are both coming up with the same numbers?

Not to be insensitive but can he be using depression as an excuse for using a banned substance? It's easy to fake or even diagnose depression since its all subjective

That's a good question and point. I think he shouldn't be penalized by the NFL, but shouldn't be allowed to play.

Banned substance is banned substance. NFL players can get exemptions if they require medication that falls on the list. There is no excuse for failing a test, and all failed tests should be treated as intentional ingestion of the known banned substance.
