WR effeciency comparison statistical snapshot (WRECSS)

[MHS831]

Funchess:  41 receptions, 516 yards, 3 TDs, targeted 68 times (catching 60% of balls targeted)

Moore: 38 receptions, 565 yards, 2 TDs, targeted 48 times (catching a whopping 79% of balls targeted toward #12)

Wright has 26 receptions on 36 targets (catching 72% of targets) for 257 yards-he has nearly doubled his production from last season in Minnesota in just 11 games.

Samuel  has 4 TDs, 19 receptions for 196 yards on 25 targets (catching 76% of targets).   Yes, he needs more attention.

Smith has 171 yards and has caught 16 passes of the 27 targeted to him (59%). 

 

ANALYSIS:  You have to catch the ball opposed to dropping the ball....Moore is the #1 WR....We can shed Funchess and Smith, draft a WR, and we would improve next year...I  made up the WRECSS thing to make this sound technical.

I bet in Ron's mind he believes lower completion percentage just means you were beat by better defense... because defense > offense in 1985.

Why not just keep Wright as the #3?

Four td’s on 19 catches doesn’t fit into Ron’s overall offensive scheme... keep Ron and get rid of Samuel

[gmonjimbo]

I agree. Do not sign Torrey or Funchess long term. Use that money to get quality defensive players. Draft a WR in the 3rd or 4th round on a rookie deal that compliments Moore and Samuel. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, I'm keeping Wright as the #3, cutting Torrey, and letting Funchess walk. If the new staff wants a big WR on the roster then draft one or sign a mid-level FA.

I would do that--but we would need a 4th WR (depth, some formations).

Moore, Samuel, Wright and a free agent WR or another higher-ish draft pick WR and we’re actually set. 

Torrey and Funchess hold the entire unit back.

Probably what they are thinking---Samuel as 4 TDs In what, 7 games?  The kid is getting better and better.  Moore and Samuel could be dangerous, with Wright as the #3.

I'm unclear if you caught the sarcastic vibe of his post.

I thought you spell his name Byrd IR. He is a fifth/sixth WR and PR.  He is not really part of the offense. The guy is hurt a lot and he is nothing special. He had to leave the Seahawks game with an injury.

No, I was agreeing with him, noting how good Samuel has been.  I got it. My tone was not clear--

To put a mind blowing spin on these stats, if Curtis Samuel had enough targets to be considered on the current stat charts (right now it's 30 targets minimum), Carolina would have three of the top 20 receivers in the NFL in terms of catch rates per target.

Here's the top 20 right now:

 

Also, note how much DJ Moore scares opponents . . . with an average cushion of 6.7 yards (11th in the NFL).
