CMC haters...get in here and bring your fork

I can see it's easy to get excited.

...about a rookie who runs better routes, has better hands, and is open more often, than nine out of ten veteran receivers in the entire league, leads in receptions for a back, YAC, draws defenders like almost no one else, and when/if our underperforming line actually makes their blocks, runs a good ball. Speaking of blocking, he's damn good at that already as well, and with a year of NFL strength and conditioning coaching, will only get better. And speaking of coaching, if you guys had him, his numbers would be twice as much, but with Rivera and Shula calling the shots, it gets tamped down quite a bit. So, when we see him get blocks or targets, or a play gets called that specifically takes advantage of his abilities, sure, we get excited, and so would you if he had one of those lance flowers on his helmet instead of a badass panther head.

I'm right here and the guy would actually have had a respectable statline if he stopped trying to break things to the inside.

I was at the game and haven't had a chance to rewatch but this dumb motherfuger keeps giving up chunk yards cutting back to the inside. 

on the final drive he could have scored a TD and salted the game away if he had just run to the corner. 

He did it once earlier in the game as well.

Where are all u CMC haters?  I hear crickets.

There was literally only like 2 people saying stupid poo about CMC so.....

And Fiz is actually right about his cuts to the inside above....he has done that 3 times and cost himself at least 10 yards each time...but Fiz and like that one other guy are the only people who say poo about CMC.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
