For those of you disappointed in no first round WR


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

But again, here we are... With the worst WR corps in the league, and one rookie WR from middle rounds is going to be counted on to save it? We need several additions. The position needs a huge influx of talent, period. Outside of KB (edit:and Ginn, sorry, I think of him as a returner first), there shouldn't be any locks to make this roster. We need multiple options to come in and compete.

Heck no, dude has stone hands.  He did catch well at his pro day.  But thats always been his knock besides his size even going back to STA.  Guy can jump up and make an occasional difficult catch, but seen him hit in full stride laying right in his hands.  And it looked like the football was greased down. Many of times

 

You may be thinking of a freshman and sophomore Dorsett. The young Dorsett struggled with some drops early in his career but turned it around big time last year. Can't remember where I saw the link or tweet but they went back and watched all his games from this past season and had under 5 drops on catchable balls I believe.

No, I'm thinking whole career.  Several on here mention how well he did vs FSU's corners.  I may be wrong, but besides the 1 or 2 good looking catches he had.  He had several pretty bad drops.  I remember several people around me in the student section about ready to crucify him at one point when it got close and he made a bad drop.

Kid would be a solid #3 slot guy, but as a #2 in this league.  You would be Highly disappointed.

Really easy to spot those who read one scouting report online and take its word as gold rather than actually watch 6-8 full game cutups of the player to form their own opinion. 

 

Even easier to spot those message board GM's who think they can evaluate talent, yet could not even get a job sweeping the floors for an NFL franchise

Watch for yourself. Dorsett had one drop against FSU at the 1:10 mark and it was a very tough play to make despite getting his hands on it. Had to fully extend and contort his body. Heck of an effort. So yeah, that's one drop and I wouldn't really classify it as a "bad drop". He beat Darby a second round CB like a drum. 

 

With our group of receivers, he is instantly a #2 in this offense.

I've worked in the player personnel and game operations statistics departments at the NFL league headquarters in New York City. I've also worked for the both the Patriots and San Diego Chargers. 

 

 

Good effort though.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
