Where do these guys rank?

Honestly yall are underestimating this crew, this is a damn good WR corps

Nah, just an understanding that there are some damn good WR corps around the league and the depth behind these guys is entirely unproven. Honestly, it's the depth behind them that is the biggest knock on our WR corps. Our top 3 are probably borderline top 10ish. It's the rest of the crew that drags down the overall ranking.

Imo, the receiving crew is the area of least concern.  That could change of course, but right now, oline, special teams, the entire defense are much bigger problems.  But our group is to young and hasn't been together long enough to know how good they can be.  Also have to see how well they mesh with our qb.

Top 5, and best we’ve had by far since Smitty, Moose, Proehl.

 

@top dawg the WR man, what you think ?

Honestly, that's kinda like saying the best LT we've had since Jordan Gross. It sounds good because of length of time and comparing to a very good known commodity, but then you're forced to remember what we've had in that time and realize it's not saying much.

PFF has us projected at #8. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2020-nfl-season-receiving-corps-rankings

Now, I always take everything PFF says with a grain of salt, because stats don't always tell the whole story, but I think we have the potential to end up somewhere in the top 10. Also, it's worth noting that they included CMC as part of the receiving corps in their projection.

TB was #1, NO #4, and ATL #13 (this seemed low to me, but they point out that behind Jones and Ridley, they have 0 depth).

EDIT- I think the stat that may bring us up into top 5 potential will be YAC. Teddy's hitting his receivers in stride so far, and they all have the potential to avoid tackles.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
