So...with Olsen out Ian Thomas had been the starter...anyone want to tell me why he had less snaps than Manhertz? Less targets too..

The only thing I can figure is that his route miscommunications that led to two INTs vs. the Giants led to him getting leapfrogged by the vet.

    I would say it has something to do with the 2 miscommunications with Cam last week. Rookies make mistakes, but 2 in 1 game? And in crucial situations. (Yeah, we're watching you DJ.) Although they let DJ make amends for his mistakes. So it is interesting they did not let Thomas make up for his.

 

    Or...in b4 "Rivera hates him some rookies".

Could it be that Greg Olsen is the catching TE is back and hence Ian THomas who is also a catching TE is on the bench, Manhertz is the blocking TE, 

yea,this is what i was thinking.  We use second TE for blocking

Rivera said that young talent was not on the field due to "schemes."  So weaponry like Thomas and Samuel rode the pine while Manhertz and Wright failed to achieve mediocrity. 

I  was very happy to see us go back to Moore  after the fumbles.  Steve Smith, as a rookie, had 8 fumbles--we lost 3 of them. The following 2 seasons, he fumbled 5 times each season.  After that, he averaged just over 1 fumble per season for the next 13 years.

Yes, I remember that.  It was definitely a wtf moment.  I guess they were thinking it would surprise the defense, but imo, might as well throw it to me.  

 

Yeah, like how Shula would line Cam up at WR once a game and the RB would take a direct snap for a two yard loss. They'll never see it coming!

What fuging scheme? And what team in the NFL sits there playmakers do to scheme for a game? 

So Torrey Smith is more suitable for most schemes in the nfl then curtis samuel?? 

Its really becoming harder and harder to take serious the bull poo that comes out Riveras mouth. He blamed the damn weather too. .......GTFOH

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
