Have we all seen WR D.K Metcalf?

We could use a tall WR who can actually catch the ball. That would have to be priority number 1, being that we struck out so hard on Funchess and Benjamin. 

I'm confused about the picture, is he the one on the left? If so he seems a bit bulky to be playing WR efficiently.

"Iowa State’s Hakeem Butler is not only the tallest wide receiver at this year’s combine (6-5 3/8), but his hands are also a freakish 10 3⁄4 — the same size as the largest hands in the NBA. The combination of Butler’s hand zone and his impressive 35 2/8 arms give him an incredible 83 7/8 wingspan; which mean he has the arms of a person who is 7 feet tall. "

Dude is a freak but so dam raw

They say his route tree is pretty limited

He missed most of last year with with a neck injury which he has since been cleared.

 

Doubt he makes it to 16.

Plus, our only DEs signed for next year are Addison, Obada, and Marquise Haynes.  And your solid starting DEs are going to be going for 14-15 on the market which we just cant afford.

 

 

Metcalf really reminds me of this guy though

Same size, projected speed, and about the same point coming out as far as route runners

One problem, football isn't bodybuilding.

The guy caught 26 passes for 569 yards in an offense that threw the ball 440 times for nearly 4200 yards.

This guy is the prototypical bust. Mediocre college production, but unreal physical talent and absolutely looks the part

Remember when David Boston swole up to such an absurd size and was out of the league shortly thereafter?

Yep. You don't need to carry a ton of muscle mass to play WR. Those knees don't know the difference between fat weight and muscle weight. Either way, they're carrying extra weight. How many great WRs have been built like bodybuilders? Jerry Rice is the GOAT and the guy was built like a bean pole while playing in a league that allowed DBs to be much more physical against WRs than today's NFL.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
