Not sure TMJ is not TMJAG

Some of y'all know how I love my receivers. An exciting game-changing diva that will take a game over by getting open early and often gets my juices flowing.

Terrace Marshall Jr. has the prototypical size, 4.4 speed and can jump out the gym. So, his inability to make his presence on the field known to all on a continuous basis is beginning to look like a red flag to me. We aren't talking about the QB position here; elite receivers inject themselves into the conversation (so to speak) during the first year---and maybe second year latest---if we're being honest. TMJ has shown a flash here or there, and then disappeared. Elite receivers don't disappear at all---they must always be accounted for---and even good receivers rarely disappear for two or three games at a time. 

I'm still hopeful for TMJ to become a guy that scares the opposition, but I'm not holding my breath. He had a good opportunity to become a known commodity across the league during most of this season, but he hasn't done that. 

We need to draft a legitimate route-running technician at wide receiver. This should open the offense up quite a bit. I'm not sure we have that guy, but TMJ is looking less like that guy, which is very disappointing considering how much he has been on the field.

Man it's so hard to evaluate anyone that was under Rhule for most or all of their career. I get where you are coming from, but there have been these flashes of exceptional play, reasons for hope.  I agree that we have no reason to expect he's going to be elite.  Our next coach is so important and I really hope we bring in a good offensive mind.

I think he has a lot of potential but he was saddled with Rhule to start with who barely wanted to give him any playing time. Then this season he had Baker Mayfield then PJ Walker and back to Sam Darnold. Give him some continuity with a real QB and a better staff then see where we're at.

After looking at the top receivers in the league it definitely looks like being a great route runner and being able to get open without being schemed open is one of, if not the most important trait for a receiver in the modern nfl.  It's not so much the physical freaks anymore.

I would love to see him under new management first. I can see the need for another WR but I don't think we have to take one in the first 2 rounds to get someone that can contribute. We have Moore and TMJ has upside and I did see more from him post-Rhule which leads me to hope he was BCed or Bozemaned.

Draft a later WR or pick up a FA with a chip on a prove it deal. I would like a route technician but I am praying the new coaching crew comes in with actual player improvement skills.

I'm not sold on him either.  Sometimes intangibles matter as much or sometimes more than the measureables.   Either he lacks the drive, not 100% committed, or just doesn't get it.  I'm not sure, but something is certainly off with him.  The very reason I'm wanting a WR with either our first rounder or one of our seconds.  I'm not willing to bet the light bulb suddenly lights up with TMJ.

He’s flashed enough that I’m fine with him. Since he’s flashed, being patient and developing him makes sense. 
 

Dude was doghoused by Rhule for unknown reasons throughout his career so far. 

*checks where TMJ went to college* well.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
