Why is Adam Thielen able to get open?

He’s a smart vet. Dude knows when to sit in a soft zone or take a choice route and keep running. Mingo I don’t expect to be there yet but let’s hope he develops. TMJ is terrible and Chark I think is grossly misused 

Chark runs very poor routes and has very poor releases. His route tree is literally two routes Go and Deep Cross.

I dont get it? How is aging Adam Thielen able to get open yet younger guys and even guys faster than him cannot? Is it lack of care or effort or heart? What the hell is the deal? Your paid to get open and catch the damn ball. Why cant this be accomplished with this team with anyone besides Thielen? 

Because our WRs suck.

 

Chark is a deep threat, Mingo is raw and inexperienced, and TMJ that man a joke!

 

Tee Higgins is a must in the off-season. Hopefully we have a new GM and he can find us a WR in the draft as well.

I've seen other WRs get open downfield at times, either Bryce doesnt throw to them, misses them, or plays arent designed to go to them.  

He doesnt have that many attempts but the ones ive seen, Bryce struggles with deep ball accuracy

 

His accuracy on deep throws hasn't been great, but you can't say the handful of times he's actually had a clean pocket and realistic time to throw projects to him having no accuracy at all.  I wish some people would give him more than 6 games especially due to our O-line and the WRs/TEs he is working with.

Adam is shifty,quicker than fast and has veteran savvy with great hands. He works the middle of the field that's Bryce sweet spot.  It's not all that difficult to figure out really.

It comes down to precision body control and agility at the NFL level. You must get the body around to get the hands on the ball at the last second.

Outside of Adam Thielen, Josh Vann was the only other WR with this ability, but he didn't have the ball thrown his way much and was overlooked.

Strength & Hands are the 2nd and 3rd qualities. 

Mingo is strong, but he lacks top level agility & hands. TMJ isn't an NFL WR. Chark is just another deep threat/speedster.

Hips, shoulders & feet for the NFL. Not as important in college. Panthers talent evaluation is awful.

It's just simply that he's a savvy vet who puts in the work in the film room, he's able to recognize coverages and knows how to run his routes to find the space.

Nothing tricky about it, it's why we signed him, so he could hopefully also be a partial coach to the young WRs and teach him everything he's learned over his career.

I think there is a lack of knowledge here into the importance of route running. Route running is the difference between throwing a touchdown before the WR breaks their route or it being an interception because the WR read/ran the wrong route or simple had terrible technical execution.

 

Beginner's guide.

I would love to know what some opeoples definition of a clean pocket is in the NFL because unless you are going up against a absolute dog poo defense you rarely get that. At Alabama he was able to throw with nobody within 5 feet of him most of the time because the talent gap with his team and the other team was to great. That will never be the case In the NFL. You must be able to make throws in a muddy pocket, its always been like that. If bryce cant make throws with defenders around him thats a problem that just cant be fixed in the long run.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
