Well, maybe. One thing I would say is that if you use him too much, defenses will likely start taking cues and that might lead to less effectiveness and ultimately lead to bad things because it's too predictable. 

I’m super sure that him on the field, at least making defenses think of his presence, adds a ripple that none of our other “just stay in front of them” players offer.

Yes, I believe that things can get worse.

AT is not the old and slow guy that some had made him out to be. We're not really taking advantage of Chark like we're supposed to. Mingo certainly showed signs of life today. Hurst isn't really being used effectively in my opinion, and Tremble if nothing else can catch passes too. Now, of course you can blame it all on Bryce, but I'd say most of these issues come down to coaching and play calling. 

We're overusing Thielen IMO. We're trying to use him like he's a YAC guy and he just isn't. He's basically possession receiver at this point in his career. He can still get open but he's not a guy that's going to make a lot happen after the catch.

Chark is primarily a deep threat specialist. I just don't think he's a great pairing with Bryce Young. Not unless we can establish more threats to fee up opportunities for him to get one on one deep.

I don't know why we gave Hurst that contract or why fans expecting him to be a great threat. He is what he is. A low level starter/good #2 TE. What we've gotten out of him is basically what we should've expected. This is who he is.

Mingo does seem to be improving.

What is like to see out of Bryce given what we're currently doing and what he shown capable of executing is better ball placement. Watch Purdy tonight. His arm is average at best, but his anticipation and ball placement are both ELITE. He hits guys in stride and puts the ball where they don't lose any momentum so they can get that YAC. Way too often guys are having to sacrifice YAC ability just to secure the catch. Bryce has to have better anticipation and ball placement because he's never gonna have a cannon.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
