I find it amazing how one catch on a big market team, vs a big market team suddenly propels you into super stardom. 

 

That wasn't propelled him to super stardom, it was the 288 receptions, 4122 yds and 35 TDs in his first three season in the NFL. He was a three time Pro Bowler on his rookie deal.

The bulk of his issues are health related. In his last five seasons, he had played more than 7 games a year just twice. Both those years he was a 1000+ yard WR.

Don't get it twisted, OBJ was one of the best WR's in the NFL. The question is, is he still that?

He had 1k yards receiving 5 of his first six seasons? 

 

Do y'all watch football? 

62 yards a game is (was) a 1000 yard season.    Any feautred RB or #1 WR in theory should hit that if healthy. 

now, it's just 58 yards a game. 

OBJ is physically gifted WR.....that is injury prone, a basketcase and a shitty teammate.  So in summary, he isn't a great WR.

Dude OBJ was ballin when he first got in the league. He is washed up now. Could maybe have some sort of resurgence if he gets with the right team. 
 

injuries and off the field stuff (like a video of him doing the Bolivian marching powder) and his daddy crying about throwing him the ball on Twitter aren’t good looks.

Lesson of 2021 - when your daddy has to come out to make the case for you.....you done.  Sorry, Cam.  That's you too.   And don't get all crazy people.  Cam is my all time favorite Panther.   But his career is over.   And that's not really fair but that's what it is.

Outside the last three years, his career average is 92.8 yds/game.

Don't use him being a nutcase and banged up to diminish how good of a player he was.

I remember people doing that to Terrell Owens too. I hated that dude but he was an all-time great WR.

Fair. But there are also a lot of other good players that put up stats, but play on smaller market teams.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
