cranky

I do not know who made this but it is f*cking great!

I can assure you the Panther's FO will NOT be looking at any one of those guys to replace Young with. Young will be here next year and probably year 5 as well.

As much as I believe he can become a franchis QB, he is not there yet and his play does not warrant making demands. I may be a stan but I'm not gonna be stupid about it.

At this moment, Bryce is not in a place to make demands. He has shown flashes but he has also played pretty badly at times. He is on the cusp of earning a contract but has to show more consistency. Now if he goes off in the playoffs, well I guess that would change things.

Yeah I'm still not sure about Canales' play calling but I'll give him another season. Still can't quite figure out why you think Young won't work out. His numbers with Theilen are as good as any QB Theien's ever had - including the three games he has started with Rogers this year. Cokers' numbers are as good as Theilens and he is an UDFA and TMac is in the run for ORTY with Young as his QB. Young's throwing more accurately now (from 21.5% in 23 to 16.5% this year) and he has shown he can make the throws in clutch moments. If you take into account he was saddled with XL, Chark, Mingo and Johnson for receivers at one point, had a coaching staff his first year that didn't want him and a current coach who is suspect at play calling, I'm not sure he has been as bad as people here say. I know he has had terrible moments/games but most qb's still on their rookie contract will. Anyway, had to give my weekly BY plug. Guess I thought this was the perfect time lol.

I think he would go higher

I actually never saw it before the draft. I just found it last night trying to find Cokers' college numbers. He definetly called it.

It's not about becoming elite, it's about being confident enough to be more aggresive offensively.

It works both ways. A QB needs receivers that can get open and then catch the ball when they do. The begining of the season had Tmac and XL as his recevers. Tmac and XL are at 57% and 56% comp rates for the season and Young has a qb rating of 83 and 72 throwing to them. Coker has a comp rate of 73% and a qb rating of 113. Replacing XL with Coker will improve the offense significantly and TMac improve simply with experience.

I agree with Tmac and rookie struggles. That's one of the reason I feel good about the offense improviing next year. A slight improvement in his numbers and Coker just continuing his current pace would be pretty strong receiving core.

You could use the same arguement for the Bucs. All they had to do was beat the Dolphins or the Saints. They didn't. And don't get me started on the officiating that last game.

The trick is to not have as many one score games next year. Replacing XL with Coker and TMac having more experience will help with that.

It's all good. I can disagree with you but still respect your opinion.

This maybe unpopular, but I would venture to sway that Coker is the best receiver on the roster at the moment. TMac has more potential, but as of today, Coker is the better receiver. Over the last 5 games: Coker: 24 targets, 19 catches, 79.6% comp, 3 TDs and 255 yards TMac: 26 targets, 14 catches, 53.8% comp, 2 TDs and 231 yards. Career wise: Coker; 89 targets, 872 yrds, 73% comp, 0 drops, 5 TDs and BY has a QB rating of 113 when passing TMac; 122 targets, 1014 yrds, 57.4% comp, 8 drops, 7 TDs and BY has a QB rating of 83 when passing Cokers numers are very similar to Theilen's and Theilen was a 10 year vet who has been to the PB twice. Coker; 89 targets, 872 yrds, 73% comp, 0 drops, 5 TDs and BY has a QB rating of 113 when passing Theilen; 199 targets, 1629 yrds, 76% comp, 9 drops, 9 TDs and BY has a QB rating of 104 when passing If TMac can bring his comp numbers up a bit, this offense could be pretty legit. And one final tidbit of information. Going all the way back to Cokers' senior year at college, he has only had 2 drops. Pretty amazing.
