Why Does Ricky Proehl Get a Pass?

We have WR's literally quitting on plays, making ridiculous drops, lack of hustle.. Is Proehl's at fault as well?  He has gotten a pass on these forums and I have never understood why.  

 

I get that Cam is missing some wide open opportunities but ALL of these drops are indicative of flawed coaching yes?

Look at the routes Shula has them running. Takes them 3-5 seconds to get open down the field and by then Cam's sacked. Jerry Rice couldn't get open on these routes any faster than 3 seconds. All around stupidity from the offensive coaching staff.

How much of a difference would it make to have a real NFL caliber OL, and an OC who actually knows how to make adjustments, and call plays that actually play to the strength of his personnel versus long developing routes when your QB has 1 second to throw the ball?

People don't want to admit it but Proehl was given chicken s*** to work with this year and expected to make chicken salad.

 

Kelvin Benjamin was a raw one year college project.....I'd say Ricky has done a pretty good job with him.  He has a legitimate shot at being Offensive Rookie of the Year, and if he hadn't made some "ROOKIE" mistakes (drops and quitting on routes), he would be having an all pro caliber year.  Note i highlighted the word Rookie, because that's what he is.  He isn't going to be perfect all the time (unfortunately this sack of crap offense needs him to be).

 

Jericho Cotchery is nothing more than a possession receiver.  Always has been always will.  Our offense doesn't use him correctly (which is evident by him running 20+ yards down the field on every play).  He needs to be the one running the quick outs and slants.  He is made to catch the ball within 10 yards of the LOS.

 

Jason Avant is a philly castoff.  If you are can't make it in a Chip Kelly offense as a receiver, you really shouldn't be in the league.

 

Bersin is from Wofford freaking College, and he runs the best routes of all our receivers.  

 

Philly Brown has shown some promise at receiver, but he's nicked up.

 

Proehl deserves no blame on this season.  Former player or not, he's getting the best he can out of the bargain bin scraps he was given.

I like Proehl, and I'd keep him, but objectively speaking he's not blameless.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
