Did he not recover?

 

I haven't paid attention after the injury. He looked damn good before the injury though.

For the first time in many moons, I passed on fantasy football. Hes was a sleeper for me and I thought had the making of a solid #1. I dont believe he and russ got along(like many others), I think finesser has to look at trading for some WR help. The draft has a bunch of 2-3 ish types, no DJ equal at all.

ESPN/538 just released a list of the best NFL WRs according to analytics…granted it’s based on last year but DJ is WAY DOWN the list…I’m not saying he sucks by no means but go down this list and say to yourself would you rather have the WR listed or DJ?

I think most would be surprised …

I didn’t want d-hop before because he’s running on empty but it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point. Good vet for a rookie QB to lean on. 100% do not want OBJ around stroud/young 

???? He had 717 yards (led the Cards), 64 catches on 90 targets (both 2nd on the Cards) and 3rec TDs (T-2nd on the team) in 9 games last year.  Questioning his durability? Sure absolutely. Wouldn't give up more than a 4th. But there's nothing to support he's running out of gas.

Thoughts on trading for Hopkins?

Yeah not sure where the Hopkins is washed talk coming from.


He easily has top 5 WR stats if he plays all season.

I think it's because of the whole PED suspension thing but dude came back and did better than Hollywood w/ Worse QBs.

I'm actually more concerned about getting a catching TE and RB.  I think the best help we give our new QB is not one star receiver but rather the ability to spread it around.

Diversity certainly helps.  A well rounded cast.  See Trevor this year in Jacksonville.   

we need RB, TE and WR help

He can’t stay healthy and is over 30. I’d be surprised if he plays 2 more years tbh. I’d be all for him coming here just to be clear as long as it’s a 3rd or later

Sure, I agree his knee is a concern. But he's a WR, not a HB. Good ones can play over 30 pretty regularly. And I emphasize good, it's not just limited to the greats. 

Hopkins missed only  wo games last year because of injury, the other 7 due to suspension. In 2021 he had a hammy injury that cost him 3 games before tearing his MCL, missing the last 4.

Even if he only plays two more years, I don't see why he's not worth at most a 4th for a team that is now WR hungry.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
