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.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
