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.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I have been a big XL guy/fan.  He know doubt was drafted because he fits a role that is in all the Os Canales has been around.  my concern is Bryce, and it’s probably not a talent issue on this aspect.  Just a QB DNA thing.  I really think Canales and XL pair best with a gunslinger/risk taker.   You want to limit gunslinger with the run but then need the QB to go downfield aggressively.   Bryce needs to simply play and be more aggressive downfield.   Which is easier said than done if not wired that way

      Let Rod Walk

      Agreed. People who say this are of the same ilk as "WE GOTTA GET RID OF RICHARDSON SO WE CAN GET THE NFL SHIELD OFF THE FIELD." How is that working out now?  Rod can stay as long as he likes and keeps fielding one of the best teams in the NHL. He does need someone on the staff that understands goalies. That has always been a weakness for him.

      Do I want Bryce Young to be a good QB? Yes, the Panthers homer in me is rooting for him to turn it around against all odds and prove all the haters wrong.  Do I think Bryce Young will be a good QB? No. And the odds are he won’t be. I didn’t think he’d translate to the NFL from the moment I watched him against the Texas defense in 2022, a game Alabama only won because Quinn Ewers got knocked out of the game. When he faced pressure he looked like sh*t and that’s the exact same QB we saw in the NFL. He’s too short to step up in the pocket so you have to design a gimmick offense to allow him to improvise plays. He didn’t scream “first overall pick” to me at least.  Meanwhile CJ Stroud played out of his mind in the biggest game of his life against the best defense in college football and the Panthers said nah we’re going to draft the 5’9 guy who couldn’t carve up an average Texas defense.
