4th in total in receiving yards in the entire NFL at age 22

Doing all of this in a Ron Rivera conservative, old school, run heavy offense not tailored for big passing yardage like modern teams

All while catching passes from the 28th ranked quarterback in the NFL, an undrafted jag rookie free agent who can't find Moore on most deep balls

Behind an offensive line that can't block downfield

Given the circumstances, it might be the most remarkable season any player on our roster is having.

Ron doesnt have an offense, Norv does. We have the 7th highest pass to run ratio in the league at just under 63% passing. The last 3 games we've passed a hair under 70% of the snaps.

Very misleading.  Half our 'passes' are just dump offs, and essentially CmC runs/handsoff.  Eliminate the CMC dumps, and we don't pass very often compared to most teams.

We don't pass the ball down field, partially due to scheme, but also partially due to Kyle Allen's limitations.

Norv Turner is just as conservative and just as much of a dinosaur as Ron Rivera.  Both belong coaching in an older era of football.

In all fairness, our pass to run is out of whack from being stupidly behind in games due to a defense that can't stop the Girl Scouts flag football team.  We employ the best RB in football, and Norv loves to run when he has a great back.

    • I said the conservative play calling was because Canales doesn't think we can win shootouts. Yes, I did say part of that was because of the young, inexperienced receivers and that the OL is better suited for run blocking. I should have also included Young as part of the reason as well but I was responding to the post concerning "young receivers" and Thielens' absence. I am not so enamored with Young that I think all his problems are simply because of the receivers. I do think they overpaid for him and he has not lived up to the cost. He has had his struggles, as does pretty much every rookie qb thrown into a bad situation. But I have seen enough good things to have hope that he continues to get better. The OP is just pointing out how his performance late in the games when the game is on the line is one of those good things.  
    • I think it goes both ways  It could be they are used to pocket passers, not someone who constantly has to create throwing zones for himself with pocket movement  point being, whether it is Young or the receivers or the sun or the moon or the wind, can’t win in the nfl without the threat of a downfield attack
