Rookie Wide Receiver Update

Just an update on the rookie wideouts throughout the NFL. Beckham as you know, has came on real strong within the last few weeks, but so has Mike Evans. Our own Benji is still hanging in there but will need to come up big these last 3 weeks to make his case for the OROY. Even if he does not get the award and doesn't catch another ball this season you have to think that he was a great success in his first season and he definitely exceeded my expectations.

 

Here are the Stats:

 

 

RECEPTIONS

 

1. Jarvis Landry               63

2. Odell Beckham            59

2. Kelvin Benjamin       59

4. Sammy Watkins           58

5. Mike Evans                  57

6. Jordan Matthews         56

 

YARDS

 

1. Mike Evans                  935

2. Kelvin Benjamin       848

3. Odell Beckham            829

4. Sammy Watkins           822

5. Jordan Matthews         709

6. Jarvis Landry               573

 

TOUCHDOWNS

 

​1. Mike Evans                  10

2. Kelvin Benjamin         9

3. Martavis Bryant            7

4. Jordan Matthews          7

5. Odell Beckham             6

7. Jarvis Landry                5

Yeah the hype train for OBJ is insane whether he deserves it or not.

 

 

Honestly, KB will be a monster I pray, especially if we get someone else on the opposite side/ some protection for Cam. 

But many of his big plays seemed to happen in garbage time for us.  Lastly if he were to catch the EASY balls his stats would be so much greater.

I'd rather see him make the acrobatic catches though, because the easy ones should come with time. The others can't be taught.

He does, there's no debating it. He was the most complete WR in the Draft last year and should have been the first off the board.

Games played would have given a more accurate picture. Games started would have been even better.

      RODS gotta GO

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.

      It's a fine balance. You need elements of both.
