those alligator arms get worse and worse the farther down the field he goes. IMO, all he can be counted for is a return specialist...which is something we need, but it's rough on the overall roster to have just one guy for just one reason.

Anyone who can return punts which requires you to barrel head long into 11 guys trying to take your head off ought to be able to catch a ball with only one or two defenders trying to separate you from the ball. It has to be a mental thing. He is surely tough enough to concentrate on the ball and not try to overprotect himself.

A lot of people knock him, but I was at the Arizona game last year, he caught a skinny post right in front on me, took a huge shot, held on, and popped right back up. For a second, I thought it was Smitty, but got up, 19, I was like damn... he showed he's more then just a return guy to me on that one catch. I'd welcome him back here on return ability alone, but he fits as a weapon on O as well

Indeed, being high is something he's proven to be good at.

The next Josh Gordon!

 

LOL, boy oh boy do we got a casual college football watcher here.  DGB needed guidance and Bob Stoops and his staff provided it.  Hence the reason he didn't get in trouble while being on the PRACTICE SQUAD at OU last year.  Being around a bunch of pros like Olsen, TD, Luke, Cam, and Cotch will take the man to another level.  Who on the Browns is a good leader?  Oh that's right, no one.

Huddle doing its best impression of a guy who broke up with his girlfriend and got depressed during the post-breakup dry spell.

 

Booty calling your ex is never the answer.  

Panthers in desperate need of KR/PR.  Ted Ginn = elite KR/PR man.  I call that an answer.

 

Can't act like this was a breakup in the first place.  There was no animosity between him and the Panthers.  He was on a 1 year deal, we had to move him up the depth chart due to injury, he stepped in a did a good job, and his value increased.  Arizona offered him more than he's worth, even if he would have put up 500+ yards and 5 TD's with them, and then they didn't even use him for anything but KR/PR, which makes the deal look even worse.  Dave is not dumb enough to make a deal like that.  Now he's probably a cap casualty, and can likely be had for vet min, which is what he's worth.

Ginn coming back to Charlotte makes perfect sense for both sides. Panthers need the special teams help and Ginn has always wanted to be known as more than a return specialist and the Panthers are the team that allowed him to do that and he knows that. I think when (and if) he is released from AZ, Ginn coming back to Carolina is probable.

What about his shitty route running and his tendency to quit on pays he's not involved in? Did they fix those problems too?

Also, have you ever seen DGB play in person? I have. Amazing physical specimen. Lazy on the field unless he knows he has a chance to be part of the play. "Casual" college football fan... lol. Is 28 years as a season ticket holder "casual"?

      Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
