Why aren't we hearing more about Chris Conley?

My question to everybody is why aren't more people talking about Chris Conley. I watched his highlights last night (obviously highlights don't show players flaws) but I feel in love with him as a receiver. He catches with his hands, blows the top off of defense and he goes over the middle to catch anything. I honestly don't know why he isn't been talked about as a late day 1 or day 2 pick. 

 

If you haven't seen his highlights please take a look.

Because he's an average WR.

 

Yeah he's fast but there's a ton of fast guys in the nfl.

 

Yeah he catches with his hands but there's a ton of guys who do that.

 

He's a solid player but his late round grade is fitting.

What do you want? He has good hands, he ran the the top 40 yard dash of the receivers at the combine, also had the highest bench. But I'm not the one to put a lot of weight on the combine. The thing is all of his results translate to the field. He simply runs away from the defense he plays aggressive, plays mean and puts pressure on the defense. Oh not to add that he's 6'2 213. Simply great for a number 2 receiver that we should be looking at, specailly with Ricky Prohl coaching him up on his route running.

    • Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.
    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
