I am genuinely perplexed by the Huddle's obsession with Young's size but they pine after a 5-9, 170 lb WR that isn't an elite athlete. 

Are WR's immune from punishment in the NFL?

Downs' durability at the NFL level definitely concerns me but we wouldn't be giving up multiple 1sts, multiple 2nds, and DJ Moore to get him so it's a bit of a stretch to draw that equivalency.

I can help some here, but Id dont want any small tiny players anywhere, but if they get the job done dont care. 

WRs can step out-bounds and most times when they get hit/tackled its by a similar 6' 200' player. QBs get rocked standing still by 6'5 285 rock'd up marble players. Plus WR have the most two hands touched while they caught a pass on the ground. All the new rage is the QB sneak, the QB has to be able to survive. Recently more bigger, stronger, and faster players are in the league. Recent history shows its a up-mountain climb for those not 6' and 200+ LBs.....just look at the dating apps for more proof....

Also, to be clear, I don't find Downs size concerning nor do I find Young's. If Downs was a DB, I might have an issue with it. If Young was a LB, I would have an issue with it.

As long as you are good at what you do, you can be effective in the NFL. 

Agreed. The fact that he’s not really a big burner, kinda makes me say no thanks. Would rather have Hyatt runnin posts all game to open up the middle.

Im not a twatter pro by any means, but the most recent update I seen had Chark in detroit working out.......that made many lions fans believe hes staying...

 

 

One piece of advice to one DJ Chark in regards to the Carolina Panthers-

I believe finessererer will pull the offer soon and use the funds on an edge or a different WR. Its the best youre going to get and better than a silly one year one with the lions.....besides Charlotte >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> detroit

Interesting, it’s possible he lives there and is just working out in his hometown?

After hearing Fitts say that we are still looking for a "vertical speed guy", Chark and Hardman are the only two that fit the bill worth a WR2 spot. The rest are JAGs and I have to assume they aren't referring to Shi or Laviska. 

Chark is the bigger body with speed and closer potential to a WR1....though he's still a fringe guy and more of a high-end WR2. 

I think we end up with Hardman, who's only 25 and then get a guy like Tillman, Perry or Mingo in the draft to find our X.

Yeah, my issues with Downs are the lack of elite athleticism for a slot guy and the fact that he isn't an elite hands or route runner. 

So, in some ways he seems like a guy without a clear path to being an impact player. Somewhat of a project/developmental.

Personally, he and his agent are just playing the game.

Seems like hes trying to squeeze more by pitting Carolina and their 3 year deal vs detroit and their one year deal. With the lions he re-enters the market, but that only works if he has a great year. Carolina needs to spread out he cap hit and not looking for someone to use them. 

Deal is like 99% of the contracts are one year deals, if he signed with panthers for like 3 years at 30 million, then had a 10 TDs 1,500 yards.......hed want some more cash. But if he was terrible and missed 3/4 of the games, panthers would cut him right after the SB... 

I also bet the agent told Chark he would be getting a much bigger offer form a few teams and thats not happened either. The big money time period is over.

Real UNC fan here and downs is not near my 39 wish list.

Same

I think we'd be better off addressing WR in free agency and then looking WR next year.  I also think we have 3 WRs who need time to develop to see what we have (TMJ, Shenault, and Smith--maybe even the two from the PS_)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
