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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
