We need to find some WR help

All the overthrows except for the route where TMJ slowed up after beating his coverage (wtf?) were on Bryce. Seems like that was a problem all game and may be something he can correct. They didnt seem errant, just consistently long like he was overestimating the speed of the WR.

Of the 4 crossing routes I can rememeber passes thrown, all 4 were near picks. One completion that was dang near intercepted, and the two we know of. Why we were still going to that route in Q4 I have NO IDEA.

Serious question... is it the WRs or the routes? I was super unimpressed with where the receivers were on the field all game.

We have weak WRs overall.  And Bryce and the scheme isn’t going to threaten downfield that often.  So it allows a D to zone in on more predictable route targets IMO. 

If Bryce Young is your QB….you need quick dudes and dudes that can get quick separation.  We got basically zero of those types.   Mingo might become that but he is just a rookie.

I think you nailed it. It's funny because he's played for a million teams but watching this game today I was thinking about how even a guy like Brandin Cooks could help our team so much right now. We basically need someone that has a super quick and twitchy release that can reliably get open quickly on quick slant routes and such.

Who's idea was it to trade up for Bryce Young but use the only weapon on offense (DJ) to get him?

 

Oh we will just plug n play lets sign a past prime Adam Thielen and a injury prone #2 WR in Chark.

 

This is the Tepper era folks. Wake up and realize this is not a dream anymore. No wonder people had low expectations this year. I was foolishly dumb to not see it myself. I tried to believe in a new coaching staff and was bling by the fact these are the people Tepper chose.

 

Im sick right now. I haven't felt like this in years. We are stuck right now because we have no draft picks. Our only chance is to hope Tee Higgins makes it to FA. Even then im not sure why he would choose us. Im down bad and alcohol might be the only thing that saves me.

 

*J/K folks it's only week 1, but man this is not a good sign. I got 4 weeks before I jump off a cliff. Hopefully something changes.

I was really really hoping Thielen would be our Next Proehl and Hurt our next Olsen. Thought Mingo might be sneaky fast and TMJ just needed his chance. It’s too early to say all of that isn’t possible but today was disheartening 

I mean Ricky Proehl’s  best season was 400 something yards here.  Ricky was a roleplayer.
