5th round rookie just sets the NFL record with most receptions in first two games to start his career.  Looks to me like Bryce could have used that guy.  5th round pick!

Our wide receiver scouts suck!

edit: they don’t just suck because of this pick, look at our draft history

So do those of 30 other teams, apparently.

Believe he's already had an injury though. Gotta see if he lasts.

Injuries are the name of the game for him. I watched him a lot at BYU and there was a point in his career that he was averaging a TD every five touches.

Problem is, he only had like 20 touches because he was always hurt.

Nonetheless, he’s on all my fantasy teams.

Every team passed on him for 5 rounds. Yeah I’d rather have him than Jamie Robinson, but it’s just one of those things you can’t really blame anybody for.

also add in the idea that without Kupp being out, he doesnt get the reps.  That said, Im still high on Mingo and think he has the talent to be our #1, but needs time to grow.  Also helps that Nacua is in a very pass friendly offense, with a Offensive genius HC that has been there for more than 6 months.

Whom our own OC learned from, Reich should let him take the reigns a bit more.

He’d 100% be getting the reps, just not the volume.

I’m not trying to say I knew Nacua was going to be a stud because I didn’t, but he was very good at BYU. I’m not a BYU fan but for other reasons I watched the majority of their games and when he was playing he always stood out. I said in an earlier post that on a particular BYU broadcast I was watching, the commentator stated that Nacua was averaging a TD about every five touches. When I heard that I was intrigued with the kid. The problem has always been his ability to stay on the field.

In training camp he had already passed Atwell on the depth chart, he was the WR3 heading into the season for the Rams.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
