Until I see evidence of him continuously getting blanketed in coverage or dropping catches (I know he had one uncharacteristic drop last night), I'm gonna assume he's just getting underutilized either by design or because Darnold isn't looking his way as much.  Neither is an indictment of Robby.

It’s because they are using him as the “deep threat” when in reality he should be doing all the corners, curls and over the middles DJ is. DJ is the deep threat and Robby is getting beat by average cornerbacks on nearly every play as we are using him right now. We need to have him in the safety blanket roll and stop throwing him out into space for no gain without reason.

I can only assume you have access to the full game film somehow if you're making these claims about Robby getting beat by average corners on nearly every play, considering the camera on gameday only keys in on the QB and then follows the pass to its intended receiver.

I just don’t get this contract extension….someone make me feel better about it and tell me what I’m missing.

I saw a lot of your points in the thread when we initially extended his contract, and several make sense. I thought that we might let Robbie walk after this year if Marshall and Shi worked out, or maybe even trade him. Fitterer is a trade-loving SOB! But, I don't feel that the contract is a bad one at all, and am not worried about Robbie's lack of stats yet. This is a team sport, not fantasy football.

Robby will be there when we need him and we are going to need him more now.  Hard to feed so many mouths.

That said, Sam over threw him, but did I see Robby drop like a gimme 10 yarder?  It says he was 1/2 but I think he was 1/3 last night.   Am I wrong?

It’s not even his performance….y’all don’t get it.   So you’re good losing Jackson, Moore, Reddick, or Burns bc of Robby’s contact? Bc that’s what is going to happen. 

Why do idiots keeping saying this? As if you can only pay 5 players on your whole roster in the NFL?

We are not losing any of those guys because of Robbys contract. IF we do not resign them its because we dont want them.

Based on the reactions to OP, I understand most disagree with the premise but that might be the Batum comparison that I have limited knowledge.

I agree that the contract extension shouldn't have been the priority. Other players that we could have focused on first and see how the season plays out with Robby. We drafted two WRs this year and our #1 receiver needs to be extended.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
