our WR 1 for a nice stretch was Greg Olsen.

I think the biggest plus of the 4-3....is it is more manageable without the ideal players. I think the 3-4 gets really bad when you lack the key players needed for it. I mean, in reality to run a really good 3-4 you need a dominant NT. And great LBs. Running a 3-4 w/ JAGs at those spots is just.....pointless.

Tmac and XL aren't stopping Renfrow from putting up a reception heavy comeback season. Only person stopping him is AT being on the field too much. I guess to an extent Canales too. But Renfrow would get open quick for BY for an absurd amount of easy completions if they wanted to nickel and dime a D. I still contend he is the best route runner and if you call the right plays....no one on this roster will get open easier.

Moore was 151st in yards after catch per reception. Horrific. and despite all the fixation on XL, Canales’ vet had the 2nd highest drop% in the team and 25th highest among WRs

I’m still not buying anything from a joint practice. Rhule, Frank and Cansles all have had good days at joint practices. Seeing that translate elsewhere is still what we are waiting on

I think Renfrow is pretty much a proven commodity at PR. He can do it. He also has a ceiling there pretty well established. He can make a guy miss but he isn’t housing one. They know what he is there IMO more than anyone else on the roster. I’d rather they just let Horn have them. He is the unknown.

we don't really know much about Davein this regards though... but just to argue the other side. Week 1...how do you justify his existence if you are a coach? That's the Horn problem. And it might uniquely apply to him amongst the WRs.

99% of the time I actually go both our Horn's Joe Horn. So I only type Horn.

that is a very generous assessment of David Tepper

We about to learn something about Dave IMO. And what he values. And how much weight being a Dave guy carries. Just guess work right now.

but they too most likely would be viewing him as a developmental project IMO. Maybe 2nd half of the season you could work him in

that's a main reason I call him a project. Dude wasn't run blocking in college. And even his routes were run out of looks he primarily isn't going to see here.

I like Horn, said it when we drafted him. But I think people are too optimistic about his short term potential. 6th round WR for a reason. Colorado offense was super quirky. Got to think he is a project to develop. He wasn't doing much there but playing pass downs on a very spread out O (that's not really NFL conditions). all that said, I'm not a Moore fan at all. I want Horn over him. AT and Renfrow got the experience to handle that WR room.

Got to think Renfrow running ahead of Horn at this point. Think Renfrow has about 4 grabs out there with Dalton. Yet to here Horn’s name out there

This guy is pretty good follow today too. Sam Warren. He is covering the Texans D reps only. He got every drive covered and breaks down starters and backups. I still cant get tweets to show https://x.com/samwarren_3/status/1956018789448835240?s=46

Jonathan M Alexander looks like a good follow today too. Houston Texans beat writer (Charlotte native).

Etienne has 2 total college punt returns. He is not a returner. Horn had 14 total college punt returns. He showed improvement in college from Jr to Sr year. Blackshear has 23 NFL punt returns Renfrow has 70 NFL punt returns I say let Renfrow open the year and you let Horn work on them and eventually let him audition to take it away from Renfrow at PR. Let Etienne, XL and whoever take turns at KR. Blackshear isn't a good enough returner to get a roster spot for returning.

David Tepper once said something along the lines that the league was basically designed for teams largely all be 8-8. If you are good for an extended period or bad.....it's the people running the show. the problem in Carolina is clear

All I’m saying is claiming it as, as good as any performance in Carolina history….is the continuing trend of taking something good done by Bryce and then taking it too far. for example, Bryce had an incredible turnaround last year that even the most optimistic fan couldn’t see coming. Instead of letting that be something awesome… the well he actually was a top 10 QB stuff gets layered on top. And then I’m a hater for taking issue with the over the top part while agreeing with the basic core. It was a great finish. His best game. And a super efficient game. But it can’t be that, it has to then be as good any anything we have ever seen. Well, it’s not that though.

if you are wanting to claim the extreme position of greatest QB performance of all time ….while not cracking 200 in regulation? Well, that seems like a fair point to bring up to me…given the massive statement being made.

It’s not about just postseason. Those are just favs. It’s quality of opponent and stakes….and performing. Those things have always mattered. And of course, the eyeball test.

I’ll take Cam Newton dismantling a top 5 D AZ in the playoffs with 4 TDs and near 400 total yards… I’ll take Jake in the postseason vs at the Bears with 300 yards and 3 TDs… both better games. Tougher games. And didn’t need OT to crack 200 passing yards on the day Bryce’s QB rating that game doesn’t even crack a top 10 list of Cam’s highest QB rating games. this is my BY issue. Bryce does something nice and then the wild over the top stuff comes and it no longer can just be nice. BY has to be a top 10 QB, or the best deep ball passer or the greatest game we have ever witnessed from a QB in Carolina

I think Evero goes first. Next seat that gets hot will be Morgan before Canales IMO if things go south. I still don’t how Dan emerged out of the Fitterer poo show

Tepper has proven he doesn’t care about anyone. Everyone is replaceable in search of wins. he has proven that with 2 pro teams over and over and over….

I’m not claiming a conspiracy….but PFF for years and years ends up often spitting out some random bonkers stuff that makes little sense. Proclaiming BY as one of the great deep ball passers….to me, where the deep dive subjective analysis they do starts to really show it’s flaws. I mean if…. QB A is 1/1 with a 50 yard air TD that goes for a 99 yard TD QB B is 0/1 off a 50/50 jump ball incompletion to the back of the endzone and PFF’s conclusion is QB B was the better deep ball passer because QB A and team made it all look to easy and what if QB B’s team pulled that one off….. you slowly start getting too far into fantasy and make believe for me. Which is what PFF starts getting into with some of there stuff IMO.
