If he was on the field I missed it.  

Higgins and TMJ neither got a snap. 
 

which IMO does speak to some mismanagement going on.  Still don’t see how  you don’t give Higgins a single rep in Baker’s first game.

I guarantee Rhule thought not playing Higgins would help Baker spread the ball around or some such nonsense

Yes. He’s had plenty of time to prove himself and he hasn’t. He was never that great in college either. Feasted on getting single coverage against teams 3rd best corner since he had Chase and Jefferson as teammates and happened to have Joe Burrow passing the ball to him

We’re one game into the second season. The OC was fired in the first as a scapegoat for a line which dwindled our playbook to 25 percent of capacity because 3+ step drops are out of the question.  The guy has the physical tool kit to play any of the receiver positions and in all likelihood is being asked to learn all of them. But for recent history with Chase and Jefferson (who coincidentally likely absorbed most reps), year three is typically when WR’s make the big leap. Did a bit of a dive trying to find a decent comp  as there are plenty of third year break outs but many of the guys are of the shiftier archetype . I think TMJ’s injuries skew the targets in the first year a bit, but guys like TO, Calvin Johnson and Dwayne Boye were all bigger, athletic guys that took some time to hit their stride. 

This is premature. Maybe circa week 6 we can reasonably start discussing impending doom on this guy’s career. Let’s see a comprehensible game plan before we start crucifying redshirts.

Higgins has always been a 4 at the very best. 

Yeah, but Baker knows him and they have chemistry.   Seems like you would work him in a little in Bakers debut.   

Baker didn’t seem comfortable early and doesn’t have much work with anyone.

Bc we didn’t need to…. We didn’t run enough offensive plays to sit DJ or Robbie. Our offense only had 45 total plays. 
 

our longest drive was barely 5 minutes. There just wasn’t a point to sub out DJ or Robbie bc they were the best players at their position and were well rested due to the lack of play opportunities.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
