You hope, but he really fell flat after being touted as the camp mvp last season. DJ showed much more promise throughout last season 

A lot of folks were touted as being great at the end of training camp last season: Cam, Paradis, Olsen, KK, Gerald McCoy, Bruce Irvin, etc... Yeah, I think we should probably just bury everything from 2019 except for CMC's performance.

Don't know what Samuel did to some of you but he has speed for days and did well with the ball in his hands. He is only 23 and yes is a#2 WR or good slot guy, he is just getting to the year where the light comes on..

They want fantasy football rosters where first round picks are sitting on the bench because the team is so deep top to bottom.  In reality there is going to be a drop off in talent as you go through the depth chart.  Samuel will probably never be a #1, but a solid #2/#3?  Sure, and that's exactly what he was drafted for.  A play maker that's going to impact a handful of plays a game.  He was never intended to be a primary target that's going to get 100 yards a game or routinely post 1000 yard seasons.

Man our WR drafting has been rough. Dj has done fine buts he the epitome of a #2. Sad to say, we actually need to draft a legit #1, despite all the capital already tied up there. 

DJ was ninth in the NFL in yards last year. Higher than Nuk Hopkins, Mike Evans, and Stefon Diggs. He's a legit #1.

It's the chicken and the egg scenario.  Are our WRs so very average or was it the inconsistent QB play?  I'm going with the later one.

He had 87 receptions and averaged 13.5 yards a catch. very similar to Jarvis Landry who had 14 yards per catch. Purely a possession guy who only had 4 touchdowns. Evans had twice as many touchdowns and averaged 4 more yards per catch.

I'm not sure what your point is--his YPC is higher than Michael Thomas, Keenan Allen, and, again, DeAndre Hopkins, all clear-cut, productive first options. It's half a yard lower than Julio Jones'. He only had 4 TD's but receiving TD's are infamously inconsistent year-to-year and the Panthers O only passed for 17 TD's anyway. DJ had nearly 1,200 yards in his age-22 season. He's good. A #1.

Samuel and a 4th for a 2nd. Would you do it?

Yep--that's using a fourth to move up and grab a guy who should be just as good and will be cost-controlled for three years longer. It values Samuel as about a fourth-round pick on the Chase Stuart chart, which seems like about what we would get for him in a straight up trade.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
