I agree atleast on paper... we haven't just seen him run away from people like you have with elite speed like Samuel..Anderson because of his length looks more like a strider to me. He's fast don't get Me wrong it's good. 

But he isn't that Ted Ginn..Samuel.. tyreek hill division of top 5% NFL speed.

Guys like Samuel have that quick change of direction speed.  Robby more that straight line speed.  DJ IMO is the perfect mix. 

I don’t care Marshall got caught from behind.  He isn’t suppose to be that type dude. 

was a more surprised with Chubba

I think that's a different aspect... thats like acceleration plus speed. What I'm talking about is is my top gear is faster than 90% of the NFLs top gear. For me that line is around 4.3 lower end speed. I mean 4.4 is considered fast by nfl measures..  when you get below that then we are talking gaming breaking speed. Anderson 4.36 is very good.. 

But he seems like he builds up to that speed. Like a strider.... he isn't twitchy or I catch it and I'm gone..  he has to build up to it.

Gotcha.  Yeah, 4.4 isn’t runaway from the field speed anymore.   Especially the way guys train to get their 40 time.  
 

Football speed vs timed 40 speed.  You can also have two guys with 4.4 speed and it also just looks different in a game.

To add to that for comparison sake. Terrance Marshall JR was said to have run a 4.4... and a 4.38..... you see how that looked today...

Hey if B.Zylstra caught half his passes that percent is near %75 completion rate...

Them two just couldn't connect for some reason...

And if some of the other receivers hadn't made nice plays to catch balls thrown behind them that percent would have been worse. 

We can play the hypothetical game all day long it won't turn PJ Walker into an NFL backup.

But yet today he played just as good as any starter in the NFL would have, except maybe one who didn't play at all...

You, my friend, watched a very different game than I did.

He had a standing start and Carrie was going flat out. Still took 30 yards to track him down.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
