TMJ was lined up 1-on-1 with Cam Taylor-Britt who was and is the starter in Cinci. To say that the play came against a back-up player of Taylor/Henderson's caliber is misleading. As is pointing to his statline when the gameplan was "Don't make Sam throw the ball" under Wilks.

By all means, feel free to doubt as this isn't an attempt to change your mind. I just wanted to make sure that misinformation didn't go unchecked.  🙂

It won’t change my mind but Britt was the only D player who played the entire game. It was still 42-7, middle of the 4th quarter when TMJ scored in garbage time and the Bengals were just going through the motions. Maybe you think Baker’s 14-20 155 yards and 2 TDs (3 TD drives) in the 2nd half (we were down 35-0) where indicative of how hood Baker was. I mean if Baker played the whole game we probably were going to OT 42-42, right?

Sorry guys, feel free to pick apart my Elijah Moore knowledge but I don’t think TMJ is an answer for us because of 10 or 11 routes. He had a few game stretch where he played decent and that’s it and one game was garbage time and one game was a shootout with a terrible team. When we made the playoff push, he barely registered the last 6 weeks and he was our starting WR2. I’m still very much hoping Mingo shines because I think he’s got a higher ceiling. If TMJ gets a 1000 yards like you guys seem to think he will with how defensive you get, I’ll be happy to say I was completely wrong.

The numbers in the column on the right are the team passing yards in the last 6 games.

TMJ was not getting many targets...in the Tampa game...DJ was targeted 10 times and TMJ 3.  There could be lots of reasons for this but you would have to consider poor QB play and poor coaching as two likely contributing factors.  I want to see what he can do in this offense with this new coaching staff and with what certainly will be improved QB play. Not expecting WR1 because no one will be.  The plan seems to be to  spread the ball around.

SMH, you called me buddy first. I mean, OK buddy, seems like something that shouldn’t make you mad. Personally, don’t really care about Moore. Jets moved on and have their 5 WRs since they also added Cobb as well for Rodgers. Moore requested a trade last year so he wasn’t exactly a key guy for them like DJ was for us. Browns can see if they can get more out of Moore. I can still say it’s silly that Moore can be labeled best in the NFL at a route he ran 4 times the entire season, especially when the same source (PFF) had a very poor grade on him for the season.

Oh well, have a great day bud!

Come on man please do not reference old ass Randell Cobb as anything significant here. There’s JAGS on every roster and every positional group they’re irrelevant and can be replaced with a drop of a hat. Not sure if we’re even arguing at this point, Dj  is in another league compared to Elijah never was disagreeing with that. To your point about Elijah ranking so highly, it was a limited sample size basis so it’s irrelevant compared to other receivers who actually had a large enough data set to conclude any significance. Also, he is actually a really good separator and was operating with the worst QB corps in the entire league last season. Don’t be surprised if he breaks out to a degree next season, has the making of a solid WR2 and elite WR3. I feel as if we’re just disagreeing to disagree at this point, hope you have a nice day.

Whether or not TMJ beating a Bengals starter 1v1 for a 21yd TD is indicitive of Baker's play last season is something you're more than welcome to explore on your own. As I said, the point wasn't to attempt to get you to change your mind; it was to point out the misinformation you presented.

In that same train of thought, regarding TMJ's stats for the final 6 weeks of the season, looking at Sam Darnold's explains a lot:

  • vs. DEN: 11 completions on 19 attempts (3 targets for TMJ, 6 targets for DJ)
  • vs. SEA: 14 completions on 24 attempts (1 target for TMJ, 3 targets for DJ)
  • vs. PIT: 14 completions on 23 attempts (3 targets for TMJ, 6 targets for DJ)
  • vs. DET: 15 completions on 22 attempts (3 targets for TMJ, 7 targets for DJ)
  • vs. TB: 23 completions on 37 attempts (3 targets for TMJ, 10 targets for DJ)
  • vs. NO: 5 completions on 15 attempts (3 targets for TMJ, 4 targets for DJ)

If you want that to mean Sam Darnold didn't like the Christmas present that TMJ got him the year before, have at it. I like to believe that most people would understand that not many players are going to be blowing up the statsheets when they're only targeted 2.7 times a game on average with a QB that's averaging just 13.7 completions on 23.3 attempts. Especially when that was during a season where the league average for passing attempts per game was 33.3.

So, you've gone from a shoulda, coulda, woulda strategy to worst case scenario. At least you're adaptable.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.

      So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
