I swear Laviska is always hurt.  Never has anyone played so little and hurt so much.  
 

Excerpts from Ellis Williams, Charlotte Observer 

The Carolina Panthers may be without two of their top receivers Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Laviska Shenault is another pillar of the Panthers’ run-pass option scheme. His presence as a slot receiver running bubble screens threatens opposing linebackers and forces them to expand with him, which opens run lanes for running backs D’Onta Foreman, Chuba Hubbard, and Raheem Blackshear.

One concern that was D.J. (Moore) was limited and still is questionable. We’ll check his status as we proceed and move forward,” Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks said. “It’s not so much of a setback. It just really is trying to see whether or not he’s going to be able to sustain and be efficient.”

Tee Higgins is next man up for Laviska

Shenault’s style of play will probably lead to a lot of injuries. 

If only we could run curls and slants to him so he can catch and go instead of always running that same dam play all season. Even go routes In Jacksonville he ran regular routes what’s the dam problem here.

DJ don’t want to play.. he knows the game plan for him sub-7 attempts his way (he gets 3:4, 37yds) ..

 

that kid seems worn out by the ineptitude of most of the last few seasons… even now that there some competence at the helm, we’re straight run heavy, denying that man the opportunity to prove his skill set…

 

he’s a peacock, he needs to fly….

Mcadoo has no creativity in his offense. Shenault wasn’t here at the beginning of camp. Mcadoo finds one play that mostly works and just keeps running it over and over because he’s too lazy to try to figure out other ways that might move the ball with this player. “6 yards, sounds good enough to me.”  That being said, shenault definitely runs to the contact instead of away from it.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
