Our best WR over the last 2 years....isn't here.  It matters.  It mattered the first time he left.  We admitted it.  We brought him back.  

We are a deep play offense with no deep threat.  It never makes sense but we keep repeating this pattern over and over. 

Ginn isn't great.  He fit here though.   He fit the need our scheme requires. 

And I realize we have guys like Byrd who can run fast.  Either play him and if he can't hang with the starters go get someone that can.  Tired of the same patterns repeating.

You can't be serious?   We have speed at wr that can actually catch the ball more than 50% of the time right now.  For whatever reason Shula choses to send KB or Funchess on go routes instead.    You can't make this poo up.

We drafted Samuel and I can't recall sending him downfield once this season.

He is a rookie.  Takes time.  I'm talking about the 2017 season.  Unfair to fault Samuel for the void this year. 

He has a lot to learn.  He could steal Ginn's end around but unfair to think he could step in and take the top of NFL defenses right away

Okay.  Name the players we have that have taken the top off NFL defenses? And made the plays then. 

Difference between having guys that can and having guys you hope will.

Oh I agree but I feel like they are almost forcing him on the field over a guy like Byrd who you mentioned. If you are going to play him now at least send him on a streak once or twice even if it is just a decoy. So far all I have seen from him is that one sweep and a bunch of terrible wr screens.

We dont know because they aren't being used.  Why are we sending the slowest receivers on long routes and the fastest guys go short?   Nothing makes sense.

I would like to still have Ginn, but there is so much more going on than lack of Tedd Ginn. 

Well it certainly doesn't help to run a vertical play action scheme with no vertical threat on the team.  Basics aren't in place.  Things didn't go well last time we did this either. 

NFL defenses than shut our scheme down.  Repeat of history. 

Cam being rusty obviously hurts to but when he gets healthy opposing Ds simply have an edge now on us because we lack what we need to run our O

We have deep threat receivers.

We also have a quarterback with a bum shoulder. 

So basically, we could have a dozen deep threat receivers and it wouldn't matter.

We have guys we hope can become deep threats in the NFL.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
