What happens after year 2 of TMJ's career if he yet again puts up a stinker or non existent effort? I liked the pick for the potential but something felt weird about him being available there in the second and every draft pundit calling it a steal, it was too good to be true.

Based on what we've seen so far and where he should be on the depth chart based on other guys simply playing better, anything close to 400 yards would be surprising. Baker is gonna have to throw for 4000+ for TMJ to have 400 yards.

yeah at this point he's at best 4th behind Shi. 

dunno whats if its stuff happening behind the scenes or if he's just getting outplayed or what

He's been hampered by injuries and when Brady got fired his biggest supporter on the staff likely left the building.

He got lots of snaps, QB's just don't throw his way. His LSU style doesn't seem to translate to the NFL 

Although he played in 43 offensive snaps, 12 more than the next closest Panther, Marshall Jr. finished with zero receptions on just one target. Hopefully, he did the little things right on tape to provide some assurance to the coaching staff.

Shi Smith, on the other hand, took another big step forward in the wideout room. Smith recorded 32 yards and a touchdown on three receptions over 22 offensive snaps.

That extends to last year, as well. He appeared in 48% of all offensive snaps last season(including 3 starts) and generated just 17 receptions for 138 yds and 0 TD's.

Consider how many QB's this guy has had throwing to him thus far in just a year span and he isn't often targeted. That's definitely not a good sign.

I think the play that he slipped on a route and fell, while Shi Smith got open for a TD was basically a microcosm of his career so far.

But yeah I'm worried

Especially since the team is interested in Denzel Mims if he's cut by NY and predraft you'd think Terrace was the better prospect. Not sure if it's just lack of opportunities so far or what but can't help but understand anyone who's concerned he might just not be able to get open. Like  it felt like the other night was a prime opportunity to show he can play and it was ALL Shi, who looks like a good player.

I don't know, the guy played 48% of all offensive snaps last year and started three games but has literally produced next to nothing. His crowning career achievement has been the 7 first downs he has garnered in 13 games. I mean...that's literally it.

10-15 years ago when it was common for WR's to struggle early in their careers, I wouldn't be as concerned. But in recent memory rookie WR's have been making big contributions. 

Even now in year two TMJ is fading away, while a player like Shi Smith is showing he should be seeing the field.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
